[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you me?  I was in the same place about 3 years ago.  Went with #3, Slynd bc pills.  Stayed on for a couple of years, then went off and guess what?  No bleeding.  It hasn't been a full year yet (almost there), so technically I am not in full menopause yet (but almost).

It's possible it starts up again at some point, but so far so good[/quote]

OP - How was your period on Slynd?[/quote]

When I went in bleeding something awful for 2 straight weeks, doc put me on straight up progesterone to stop the bleeding.  That worked while I had all sorts of fun tests that found cysts, polyps, and the fibroids. Doc took care of the small polyps and cysts in the office but apparently the fibroids were too big for that.  Thats when I was presented with the 3 options and I chose the Slynd. Remember, the straight up progresterone had gotten things under control first.  For the first 3-4 months in Slynd I had a normal period, then it stopped.  And in a few short months, it'll be a full year of no periods and I will officially be in menopause.  I didn't have any side effects or issues with Slynd.  It did feel weird at my age even being on the pill though[/quote]

Where you awake for the polyp removal? Did it hurt? How bad was it?[/quote]
