I seem to be on my period every two weeks. Not just bleeding but sore breast, bloated stomach the lot. Its driving me nuts. Anyone else have this problem. Do you any way I can stop this from happening. I have stage 4 endo by the way.

Hi!

Firstly, I fully sympathise with you, I am also stage four and have the most erratic cycles known to man. I have gone from having 42 day cycles since February to a continual flow. Three weeks ago I had a period after just six days of my last period ending...I have bled and lost clots every day since. If i am not on a contraceptive pill this is normal (daily bleeding) for me. Are you on any hormone treatment? Would you consider going on 'the pill' to get you into a cycle or to take back to back to stop bleeding altogether?

I told my Gynae last Friday what was happening, he put me on Yasmin, I am still yet to stop losing but apparently it could take up to three months to settle. I have tried the implant and depo injection but neither stopped my bleeding. I haven't tried it but my friend is on the coil and hasn't had a period since May last year.. Another option for you perhaps?

I doubt this helps very much, I sometimes find comfort knowing that I am not the only one out there with this.

All the best

Thanks so much for your reply Digger. Your right it does make you feel better to know that your not alone. I was on Femodene for 3 years back to back for the pain.I came off it because I wanted to start thinking about having a baby. I still haven't conceived and the bleeding feels like a constant reminder that it may never happen.

Yes I was bleeding a lot I had the mirena coil put in during a lap and it took quite a few months to settle but works great for me, don't have periods at all now
