HI I have had heavy periods every other week for nearly 4 years. I have had polyps removed last year and still the same. I have been taking Noristherone near enough constantly since a 48 hour constant heavy bleed before christmas. I have had an ultrasound which detected fibroids. The gynae consultant was reluctant to give me a hysterectomy even though I am 51 so had the Mirena coil fitted 14/2/14. still bleeding with the coil fitted and Noristherone. Passing clots intermittently and have bleeds like a tap turning on. I work for the Imaging dept at the NHS and had an ultrasound on the QT because of the stomache pain my work colleague thought the coil had moved, she said to demand a transvaginal scan has I had fluid in the lining of my endemetrius. I have just had another gynae appointment and had the scan to which they confirmed fibroids and pulsing blood!! whatever that meant. The consultant wanted me to have the Novasure but said it was likely not to work because of the fibroids. She was again reluctant to go down the hysterectomy route but I said I was fed up of having a miserable existance wearing black and being afraid to stay in hotels for fear of leakage so she very reluctantly has put me on the waiting list that she said could be 9-12 weeks. I have started the Noristherone again to give myself a break but how long can I take it for and do you think hysterectomy is the best course of action. Sorry I know this is a novel!!!!
