I finished a 5-6 day 'normal' period, and have continued spotting - it will be 5 additional days today for a total of 12 days (including normal period). I was on provera for the past three months for cycles that were coming very close together - 18 - 21 days, but when it came at 13 days, my gyn put me on the provera.
I'm just turning 49 years old, and have had the close cycles for about 2 years - sometimes heavy with clots and other times lighter.I never spotted like this before.
I also had an endometrial biopsy 2 years ago, because of the heavy bleeding - the results were normal.
I called my GYN and since I have my yearly appointment later this month, she didn't renew the provera, and said we will re-evalute at that time.
I do have three fibriods, and had an ultrasound in February that showed a functinal cyst. (I've have small complex cysts over the past two years, that have always resloved.)
I have no other symptoms,except the spotting (which is heavier at times), so I'm thinking that this may be all hormonal, given my age and I just need to ride it out. My GYN has said that my progesterone is low (which is why she gave me provera). I wonder if I'm just not making eneough to stop the bleeding?
