How Can Vaginal Spotting While On Progesterone Be Treated?
Hi , i went thru radiation recently for hormone positive breast cancer. The side effects of tamoxifen were awful. I was only able to take it for 3 weeks. The lining of my uterus started to thicken immediately and the tenderness was bad. I did go without a period for 3 months then started spotting , did that for 11 days then heavy bleeding for 9 or 10 days before seeing my gyn. I had a biopsy on the 1st of Feb. but the results are not back yet. I have been on progesterone for 10 days and I am still spotting. Any suggestions?
Thank you so much!
