Too stressful. Could it be the cause of bleeding?
« on: August 11, 2024, 10:30:18 AM »

Hello, In the last two months I have been under terrible stress due to a broken relationship and tension with my family. I bled heavily for a month.

I am taking progesterone continuously. I also had bleeding before, but it stopped for more than a year and now the condition has reappeared. Is my body as dysfunctional as my brain?

Next week I will have a doctor's appointment. Has anyone encountered a situation like mine that can give me advice? Thank.

You are not dysfunctional, bleeding on hormone therapy is a common side effect, and certainly stress can wreak havoc on our physiology.

However as you have been bleed free for over a year prior to this, it does need to be checked out medically to exclude an overly thick uterine lining. Also make sure your smear is in date.
