I posted last month about dealing with years of heavy periods, perimenopause symptoms etc. https://windsorpeak.com/vbulletin/sh...92#post4387292
I had my sonohystergram last week and my doctor followed up with me today (via nurse message). My uterine lining is fine and of normal thickness. I do have one fibroid that could be pushing on the uterus, which the doctor said could cause heavier bleeding (pushing on uterus causes more uterine surface area, cause more surface to shed). She also said it could just simply be perimenopause. They did biopsy the endometrium (that's required in order to be considered for more invasive solutions such as ablation) and that came back fine.
So, the voicemail message I had from the nurse said the doctor is suggesting either going back on BPC or try Liletta IUD. I tried a BCP about a year and a half ago and immediately gained 10lbs and just didn't feel myself on it so I discontinued it after a few months. I had the Mirena IUD about 10yrs ago, after the birth of DD2, but had it removed after about 9 months because I was constantly spotting and I had a host of other symptoms like headaches, bloating, etc. Now, that was before I was diagnosed as gluten intolerant and I had the Mirena removed before going GF, so while the spotting likely wouldn't have gone away the other symptoms likely we not caused by the IUD (though I do wonder if the sensitivity was sparked by the IUD as I didn't have symptoms before having it placed).
So, now I have to decide...BCP or Liletta. What would you do?
