Hi,
I'm perimenopause have been on Tridesta for 3 months due to heavy long periods on Elleste. The oestrogen part has been fine, although I did have a heavy 2 week bleed and then some spotting. However, when I got onto the progesterone tablets all hell has let loose.
Firstly my boobs have been agony. I have had PMT, which I don't usually get and I have had period pains for a week prior to my period. My period has started and I'm in agony to the point where I cant go to work. Again, this has never happened to me before. My period is gushing and I just hope it doesn't last another 2 weeks. I'm almost anaemic (although gp doesn't think so) but my b12, iron etc is on the low end of the normal range.
I have just spoken to my GP who thinks the above will settle down after another 3 months of taking Tridesta. Has anyone experienced a similar thing and the pmt, period pain and flow settled down ? or do I have to look forward to another horrible period?
The GP to be fair, has said that if I cant cope with the thought of another period from hell or if the bleeding continues for 2 weeks and I have had enough the other option is Mirena coil and oestrogen.
Would really appreciate some advice.
