A member asked:
I went on the pill at 15 for heavy periods. i'm now 30 and think that i've been on it way too long. my gyno says it's fine. is it really ok?

Progesterone: Heavy periods are due to an imbalance of either too much estrogen and/or too little progesterone being produced during the two weeks before your period. Ask about switching to oral micronized progesterone on days 13-37 of your cycle. Where do you live? May be I can do a Concierge consult with you. Best wishes.
