    bleeding for a year.

    I guess I need to state that I do have endometriosis but.... In less than 2 months i will have been bleeding for a solid year hence the name oneyearsolid. With that said I have been on the depot provera for 6 months and prior to that another 3 months of seasonique so 9 months of meds that should make me stop but low and behold I am still bleeding!! So now the doc says lupron but im scared Has anyone else besides the lady in the bible who bleed for 12 years have this? I mean Ive heard other women say 2 or 3 months but a year? I am under wieght as well is that related

    Oh dear. That must be awful. I have not had this problem so I can't comment specifically. I have had endometrosis as well. I always had heavy, painful periods but they were pretty regular. I started using pegestrone cream and it's helped a lot. My periods are much shorter, lighter and there little to no pain. It's worth a shot for you.
    Also, be sure you are taking an iron supplement. If you're bleeding that much you could be anemic, or at least on your way.

    good luck

        My friend had a very similar issue. She also has endrometriosis (however that is spelt) and started the depo shot. She bled constantly for 3 months. She ultimately got a partial hysterectomy, but that was also due to cysts on her ovaries. I think the only thing you can do is keep trying different things. I am not a medical professional.
        Have you evaluated your diet? If you're underweight, then you need to take in more calories.

        I guess another thing you could consider is getting a second opinion. See another gyno and tell them all you've experienced, maybe they have the answer.

            Man, I have endro as well, I have been on seasonique for a little over 6 moths, and I'm nonstop bleeding as well. At most it stops for three of four days then starts again. But I'm just 24/7 spotting... Is it the same with you or full blown out PMS?

              I am always bleeding but never have a day that im not maybe the lightest is just a lot of spotting. Im on provera now but... Still bleeding. But just went to the doctor and they found polyps in my uterus that are being takin out on the 9th! So hopefully the bleeding will slow!!! I pray!!

                    I have been bleeding for almost 3 months now because of the Depo shot and I feel like I'm going crazy sooo, I am SO SORRY that you have been experiencing this for almost a year now! My one suggestion, stay away from birth control. I've decided that hormones and all BC are awful and not ment for women with sensitive bodies. I think if you cleanse your body of all of that stuff you could start to heal and feel better and hopefully the bleeding will stop. I'm looking into a IUD at the moment, which has no hormones at all! Hope you are feeling better since your last post!
