Dear Terry
I have also got problems with medication for having had blood clots. Now I cannot seem to get my doctor to put me on any treatment. I was on deprovera injection - which helps the period part but gave me severe acne (as if it isn't bad enough already). At the moment I am on nothing and I have "brown bleeding" almost every day - this has been going on for almost 2 months. I used to get severe bleeding and have to sometimes stay off work. Now I can't seem to form a lining in the first place to have a period. (since coming off of deprovera). At the moment I am trying something new from the homeopath - it is red clover extract - for women going through menopause - called Promensil. Also recommended was saspiralla and liquorice. apparently these natural products encourage your own body to produce estrogen.
