Liz UK - 2 week cycles on 500mg of Progesterone

by Liz

Hi Wray,

I understand nothing can correct cycles once they start going erratic and I lose little to no blood. Only I would notice by examining tissue paper carefully when I go to the loo.

BUT I am having a period with all of the PMS symptoms every 2 weeks now for many months.

Sore breasts, insomnia, anxiety, depression and then I get the tiny bit of blood and I am all good for another 10 days and then the 3 or 4 days of PMS starts all over

I am 46 (just) and had assumed periods would start to miss rather than get closer together.. I would give anything to miss some months instead of having 2 every month.

What is going on in my body that could bring the periods so close together?

Just curious.

Many Thanks :)

Hi Liz This is exactly what happened to me too. I'd have intervals of 2 weeks with periods of very little blood, followed by another of flooding. Then a 3 month stretch with nothing, only to have flooding again, followed by 2 week intervals. Admittedly this was in my last year aged 50. I had no way of knowing when I would get a period if any, as my 'PMS' symptoms seemed to flow from one week into the next. I wish I could help you, but it's safe to say you are going through your own unique brand of Peri-menopause, just as each one of us does! Take care Wray

 two week periods

Hi Liz, this has been happening to me too since being on the same dose. My periods were regular before I started using progesterone, though I'm getting close to menopause.

You could try increasing your dose. That's what I did and it stopped the two week thang.
