Good morning, my estrogen patch (0.1/2x a week) seems to work. I’m having issues with progesterone. My reproductive endo wants me to induce a period every 2 months and currently it hasn’t been the best.

I broke out, felt borderline suicidal before my period, felt very dizzy and tired, and my period is heavy. I took 10 mg of Provera for 10 days. I was wondering if continuous progesterone would be a better option for me? Honestly, my main concerns are acne flare-ups and having heavy periods.

If anyone can provide their insight, it will be much appreciated!

P.S: thank you for responding to me. I am early 20’s and my mom does not help me as much with my diagnosis. She sometimes makes fun of me and says that I will age worse and makes me feel bad that I cannot have kids. I never wanted kids, but it is making my self-esteem worse. I’m sorry for posting so much on here

I posted before about starting a period / the timeline… turns out I started a week after my final dosage of progesterone. My doctor (reproductive endo) wanted to see if I can induce a period every 2 months. So far, I am struggling rn with cramps and heavy bleeding (not as bad as it was in high school, but the pain oh my gosh). Should I ask him to change my dosage so I can induce a period every month? I hate periods in general; I am also wondering if birth control pills are an option

I was diagnosed with POI two months ago. Since then, I’ve been taking estrogen patches 0.1 twice a week. After two months of patch usage, I started my Provera dosage (10 mg for 10 days). It is currently day 2.5 after my final dose, and no period yet. I noticed during the 10 days my discharge stopped, but still no bleed :( should I be concerned? When should I contact my doctor?

Also, my doctor waited two months because my lining was very thin. He wants to induce a period every two months. I see both a reproductive endocrinologist and a nurse practitioner specializing in women’s health.
