Femoston 1/10

Hi everyone,my names Sally and I started on femoston 1/10 3 weeks ago. Half way through the progesterone pills I have the heaviest period of my life!!
Does anyone have an idea of how long it may last. So far 4 days and the problem is that I'm already anemic due to taking sulfasalazine for Rheumatoid Arthritis.
I'm peri menopausal and am nearly 49.
Thanks for any advise. Xx

It takes at least 3 - 6 months for things to settle. Be patient.
If ongoing bleeding and spotting are a problem then do consider having a Mirena Fitted and use oestrogen alongside as pills, patch or gel. DG x

Hi Sallyp123
I agree with Dancinggirl - it takes time to settle - also good suggestion re Mirena and bleeding.
You said you are peri-menopausal - but depends what your cycle has been doing recently. For example if you have skipped a few periods, your lining might have built up (and you might have had a few anovulatory cycles) - then taking the progestogen (in Femoston) could trigger the lining to shed, which would be heavier than a normal monthly period. During peri-menopause bleeding patterns vary enormously anyway.
There is a section on bleeding on this site (top tabs - Menopause) and an article on peri-menopause here:
https://menopausematters.co.uk/magazine/pdf/Article%20-%20Perils%20of%20the%20Perimenopause.pdf
Hope this helps
