I have atypical endometrial hyperplasia and have been put on Provera 200mg twice a day. I have an appt on Friday to discuss my recent MRI results which I’m very anxious about.
I have been experiencing some spotting red/brown blood for well over a week now and I constantly have a mild period pain. Is this normal? Should I be bleeding?
Hi LolaJayne
I am sorry to hear that you have atypical hyperplasia but it is good that they are keeping a close eye on you. I can understand that it can feel scary to go in for an appointment about your MRI results. It may well be that some of the spotting could be due to the hormone treatment or for some other reason. It does not necessarily mean the worst. I would try to think of it in terms of you have a condition and they are treating it so it would be normal to expect to have an appointment to talk about how things are going. When you are there you will be able to mention the bleeding and period type pain and hopefully get some reassurance. If it does turn out that there is possibly something else going on, then it would be better to find out and get the right treatment.
I wish you well for Friday and in the meantime, if talking things through would help, then perhaps give the Support Line a call. In the meantime if there is anything you want to ask or need, then please do so.
