Hi, I have started using Noriday as a contraceptive from 2 months but this time after having very heavy periods for about 5 days i have started bleeding again after 1 week. its been 3 days and i am still bleeding heavy.What could be the cause of it ? plus i think i am estrogen dominant is Noriday making be more? Should i ask my doctor to give me progesterone therapy to balance my hormone. I am loosing so much of my hair , gaining weight too and most of the time very tired. any advice would help. thanks

Hi,
Your symptoms suggest you are facing the side effects of the hormone medication. You should definitely take the help of your consultant and see if any other additional supplements are needed or if you can change the medication. Usually, adjustments take 2-3 months after initiation of hormone treatment and once settled, are usually on track for whatever time used. You may need coagulation and blood profile, hepatic function tests, hormone assays and a sonogram to help you further. Hope this helps.
