Thank you for responding. My OBGYN did a hysteroscopy b/c he thought I
had a large fibroid. However, when beginning surgery my uterine cavity
was not mis shappen (indicative of fibroids) and was bloggy and mushy
(indicative of adeno). Apparently the uterine cavity is in good shape
just very enlarged and blocking an ovary. He said lupron would shrink
it, allowing my ovaries to both be available and to stop the constant
bleeding. It would be difficult to conceive now b/c I seem to have my
period most days of the month. Did the progesterone regulate your
period? I'm currently on loestrogine (which is a bc pill) and it has
helped some of the bleeding but not the frequency.
Thank you so much for your response!!
