Just a thought . . .

Is it possible??

Okay,  when I visited the doctor last week, we discussed ways to stop my bleeding and spotting that occurred after my D&C surgery.  Well, I got to thinking about what she said.  She laid out two options, but recommended me taking progesterine for ten days to promote a withdrawal bleed.  Which made me think, keep in mind she had the same info and didn't come to the same conclusion, but I figure what the heck lets see what happens.

Let me explain why I came to the current thought process by exlpaining how the last couple of months have been.  On Dec. 14, 2009 the doctor put me on a daily dose of Progesterine to see if it would help thin my already way too thick endometrium lining (Simple Hyperplasia without Atypia).  The game plan was to have me on it for two months and then reevaluate the endometrium lining to see if it helped.  After nine days on the progesterine, I started bleeding and I bled for a two weeks before they doubled the dosage and then I still bled for another fifteen days before I finally stopped.  By this time they had already done another ultrasound and the lining wasn't thinning so I was scheduled for a D&C.  I was advised to continue taking the Progesterine up till the surgery.  I took my last dose of Progesterine two nights before the surgery.

Now, if you recall in my last post, the doctor said that by taking the Progesterine for ten days and then coming off it would cause me to have a withdrawal bleed two to nine days after my last dose, and then we would move forward with ovulatoring meds to promote ovulation since I was still bleeding after the D&C.  This got me to thinking and looking back at my most trusty calendar where I write everything down, have been for the last nine and a half years.

What if?? What if this crazy unexplained bleeding after the D&C was a withdrawal bleed.  You see, if you count from the days from my last dose of progesterine before the surgery I started to 'flow' three days after the D&C and flowed for five days followed by a few days of spotting, then nothing, then a day of spotting, and then nothing over a span of five days, and then the night before my follow-up I was having severe lower pelvic pain for a few hours and then passed some bright red blood.  I have now been three days free of bleeding, spotting, and yukiness. 

I know the doctor gave me the script to have the progesterine filled so I could proceed and try to get the bleeding/spotting to stop, but I told Jay since I was going to be gone the whole month of April, I'd much rather see if over the next month my body and cycle would regulate themselves.  You see that's why I had the D&C.  I was tired of the sporatic cycles (20-42 days in length) and the heavy heavy bleeding, 5-7 days with days 2-3 so heavy I had to change every hour!!

So now we'll wait.  We'll wait and see if I can actually cycle within reason within the next month.  That would be so nice if this 'what if' is an actual 'what if' and I start to cycle, oh yeah and ovulate without fertility meds, on my own.
