Heavy period bleeding since birth of 4th baby!

[4kidsNkale]

I’ve been pouring over The Period Repair manual - it’s so wonderful! I’m a 38 year old mom of 4 who just finished breastfeeding her 13 month old. I have had a regular heavy period for the last 8 months, making me clinically anemic. I eat very clean with lots of green veggies, limited gluten and dairy. Other than anemia, my blood work is within normal range. My ultrasound shows healthy uterus and ovaries - but I’m still bleeding so much during my regular periods. Dr want to use Mirena and I need help convincing them to let me try micronized progesterone! Any advice for me?!

If you have my second book (Hormone Repair Manual), see the "how to speak to your doctor" sections in the heavy period chapter.

Print Professor Jerilynn Prior’s document “For Healthcare Providers: Managing Menorrhagia Without Surgery” and take it to your consult and say something like "This Canadian endocrinology professor has a protocol using Prometrium/Utrogestan. I'd like to trial that for a few months."

it's also important to rule out an underlying problem with thyroid, but hopefully your doctor did that.
