3.5 months post op...now this

[cirella]

Hi, I had surgery 11/13 to remove my right ovary/cyst.  Since then I've had spotting, one time for a month and another time for 8-9 days but no period.  I needed to use progesterone cream to stop the month-long spotting but the other one stopped on its own.  Because of some pressure near the top of my rear end and strange twisting feelings on the left side near my ovary I had another VUS yesterday.  It revealed no cysts, thankfully, but it showed my uterus to be surrounded by probably 3.5 months of blood.  I have to take a prescription progesterone for 10 days and I should start a period towards the end of the 10 days or after.  I really don't want to do this but I can't keep building up blood.  I guess I'm just afraid of the side effects of the progesterone in such a high dosage.  I'm taking 400mg per day.  When I used the cream to stop the month-long bleeding it nearly drove me nuts with the up/down emotional rollercoaster.  Also, I had a full blood work-up and my hormones showed to be normal.  Thought it would show something out of whack.  

I know it's a very positive thing for him not to have seen anything suspicious but now the cause of the rear end pressure is unknown.  I cannot sit for very long before it becomes too painful.  It isn't a backache.  I am hoping that a possible cause is the heaviness of my uterus.

Anyway, just wanted to share this and get some advice on the progesterone medication.  Thanks for listening!

You say your uterus is "surrounded" by blood, do you mean the blood is not inside the uterus? If it outside then you are bleeding internally. If it is inside the uterus then at some time you are going to have a very heavy period.

Oh, gosh!  I didn't realize what I'd said...the lining to my uterus is full.  Thanks for catching that.  The oposite would be quite worse, wouldn't it?  LOL
