I don't know if this should be here or not, but I need advice on my periods/bleeding , the pill and menopause. I have been taking the mini progesterone only pill for about 4 months with limited success. Not having been on any form of contraception for many years. I am 50 , was still having regular periods although my cycle was getting shorter.( 3 1/2 weeks instead of 4 4 1/2) I am already on my 3rd type of pop. as I keep getting spotting and prolonged bleeding. I have now been bleeding for 19 days. Is this as a result of the pop or could it be menopause? or a mixture of both? I take my pill in the mornings and the bleeding becomes less as the day goes on but by the next morning I am often bleeding heavily again. It's almost as if the progesterone isn't a strong enough dose to last the whole 24 hours. Has anyone else experienced this? Should I persevere with the pill, give it up as a bad job? or ask for investigations from my gp?
