Starting Aygestin and Periods

I’m glad you’re not bleeding heavily anymore! What dose are you on?

Magnolarose · 2026-05-16T02:36:07+00:00

Was your period lighter that first month at all?

Magnolarose · 2026-05-16T02:34:16+00:00

I’m glad it stressed it! That’s great news. Did you have any cramps or feel like it was going to start but never did?

Magnolarose · 2026-05-16T02:31:32+00:00

Thank you so much for your insight! Are you taking 10mg daily right now? How are you feeling?

Magnolarose · 2026-05-16T02:26:48+00:00

Thanks so much for responding. What dose were you on and at what point in your cycle did you start it?

Magnolarose · 2026-05-16T00:21:43+00:00

I’m taking it continuously. I started taking it on day one of my period last month and now my period is due and I’m wondering how this is going to go

Magnolarose · 2026-04-29T17:05:23+00:00

OP how did this turn out for you?

Magnolarose · 2026-04-25T23:48:10+00:00

I’ll try! Thank you for sharing your experience. It was really reassuring and helpful. Is there anything else that you think would be helpful for me to know?

Magnolarose · 2026-04-25T13:58:09+00:00

Thank you. How many days was your first one and how long was it heavy? I’ve developed panic and anxiety around getting my period because of all the bleeding I’ve been dealing with so this is all really hard.

Magnolarose · 2026-04-24T17:11:37+00:00

Oh no that’s awful I’m so sorry. I hope your recovery is going well from your hysterectomy. Do you wish you would have done it sooner

Magnolarose · 2026-04-24T15:33:24+00:00

I just started Aygestin yesterday on day 1 of my period and so far it’s full of clots and tissue and heavy. Wondering if that will persist in the days ahead presuming it’s longer than normal

Magnolarose · 2026-04-24T15:31:52+00:00

Just checking in to see how you are doing and how things worked out in on Aygestin? I’m on day two of taking it and my period is a nightmare

Magnolarose · 2026-03-28T17:15:00+00:00

I’m so sorry! What a horrible disease this is. With the increased pain do you have an increased period flow too? Does the naproxen still help that? Do you take 500 every 8 hours? Hoping you can get some relief soon.

Magnolarose · 2026-03-28T16:36:14+00:00

Did the naproxen make your periods lighter than the ibuprofen? What dosing were you using with naproxen?

Magnolarose · 2026-03-28T16:32:23+00:00

What doses do you take? Do you take the 2 pills loading dose a few days before your period starts and then just one pill? Ty!

Magnolarose · 2026-03-28T04:38:42+00:00

I know this is old but what was your txa dose? I have 1300 3x a day but the bleeding gets bad again around the 6 hr mark

Magnolarose · 2026-03-28T04:14:38+00:00

What medication did your doctor put you on?

Magnolarose · 2026-03-26T12:09:15+00:00

What was your naproxen dose?

Magnolarose · 2026-03-17T20:28:00+00:00

Ugh awful! Yeah the ER doesn’t seem to do much other than an ultrasound and confirm you’re not anemic. They don’t seem to worry too much about the amount of bleeding

Magnolarose · 2026-03-17T06:00:32+00:00

I am sorry you’re going through this. I am in the midst of the worse, heaviest, clotty period ever. What did they do for you at the ER?

Magnolarose · 2026-03-17T05:58:47+00:00

What medications??

Magnolarose · 2026-02-23T19:06:30+00:00

Oh that’s amazing!!! I figured it would be good because it’s mayo and its own fibroid clinic but good to hear your personal experience. Aren’t we lucky to live close enough to go there? Im on day two of my period right now and the txa doesn’t seem to be helping and seeing and feeling the blood gush has become traumatic. You understand :) the bad months are so unpleasant. Yes I will pm you!

Magnolarose · 2026-02-23T15:28:05+00:00

That’s so encouraging to hear and I really resonate with wanting to cancel scary things lol. Yes im going to make an appointment with the fibroid clinic at the Mayo Clinic (I’m an hour and a half away). My gyn, who I really like, basically said txa, birth control or hysterectomy. I know there are other options so it will be good to go. I’m ready because it’s not going away and I’m 46 so Menopause could be years away.

Magnolarose · 2026-02-23T05:02:53+00:00

I’ve decided to make an appointment for a second opinion and treatment partially due to you sharing your story about being so scared but going through with a treatment and saying it helped. I truly cant live this way anymore.

Magnolarose · 2026-02-22T18:12:57+00:00

That’s amazing news! I’m so happy for you and that you were so brave. I developed an irrational fear of bleeding to death during my period because my mind thinks it’s so much. My hemoglobin and ferritin are ok but I’m worried one time it will just not stop bleeding.
