Hi Victoria,

May I just exclaim at how truly helpful the folks on this board have been? I have gotten unending armloads of info from checking the archives for my questions as well.

Right now, I have been told to go off Provera and let myself have bit of a bleed. Boy, is it crampy. As crampy as a real period with more 'stuff' involved. I was only 5 days into the provera when I started to alarmingly hemorrhage (sp?) and I called the doctor. But by the time they called me back to say "Go to the ER!" it had tapered off to just painful cramping (as opposed to debilitating non-walking head spinning gallons) and I was cheerfully going about my day again, bleeding like a regular gal. If it hadn't happened this way, I'd have done the d&c myself! (kidding, but feeling *That* desperate.)

I will go on yasmin today. I'll print up your response and take it to my GP who I see next week (and will ask for a referral to a regular endocrinologist familiar with diabetes and PCOS), and will send a copy to my OBGYN in Roseville; with my luck, it's not in the formulary. But then, hopefully (and I know I'm kidding myself), I won't need more provera (though I didn't have the symptoms they warned me about. However, I was only on it a short time before it started me up hardcore).

Man, I just posted a 7 lbs weightloss longwinded post on the diet forum. I hope it wasn't all blood, as that, seriously, would suck.

Much love,

Amelie who bruises, but is clumsy, so it all evens out...

Now if it doesn't stop, heck at that point, they need to look a little further. Tell your doctors to buy Speroff's Clinical Gynecologic Endocrinology and Infertility. :)
