Period due but on birth control all the time

I've had extreme pain the past few days but I'm on 'Norlutate' (progesterone only) and I was instructed to take it all the time so I don't think I'll get a period. But just about now, my period is due and I've had a lot of pain and bloating. So I'm wondering if thsi is my period but not my period (if that makes any sense).

It might be you get symptoms without the bleeding a possibility . I found progesterone made me feel unbalanced and had awful side effects I can recommend a pill called qlaira . Do you have endometriosis as such

I'm awaiting laproscopy but I'm told it's the only thing I could have b/c nothing's worked

My gyn says she also won't do 1 till I've tried birth control for 3 months and the symptoms haven't improved or 1 month (where I am now) and the symptoms have gotten worse, which they have. I have an apt with her on the 22nd to ask.

You are the patient but you don't have to do anything !!!

But I want something to work, I'm in so much pain and if this is the only way I can get a lap I'll do it.

I understand but when we are Unwell it's easy to be very vulnerable and lead in a direction that may not be right for us ! I can recommend the Qlaira as a better pill try it paid a specialist to get this information and a happy to pass it on no consultant or endo nurse knew !

B/c of heart disease in the family and migraines I'm only allowed on progesterone now, at least that's what the gyn said and also my neurologist said it would be safest.
