Hi Livi,
So sorry you are going through this! You said you gyn has given you different kinds of bcp's to help. Although I cannot take bcp's, when I've had prolonged bleeding, my doctor gave me progesterone and that helped. He said it was like a chemical d&c.
I suggest you ask for some bloodwork to check your red blood cell count. I suspect you have become anemic. By the time my anemia was diagnosed, I had lost a third of my red blood cells. I have been on prescription iron supplement since March, along with folic acid and b vitamins, and my doctor said it can take 6 months to a year to build my iron stores back up.
Linda
