See a dermatologist: A steroid shot is not a treatment of choice for hives. Due to blood transfusion? Was it really necessary? Do you really have hives, or something else? How long have you had this? Ever before? Using antihistamine? Which one at which dose? Why estrogen AND Premarin (conjugated estrogens) AND Provera??? No wonder you are bleeding.

?: If you had the steroid shot days ago and hasn't worked yet, you need re-evaluation, but why you had hives in the first place, or was it something else, often times hives just come and go for no known reason, or probably a reaction to a drug, or food, you would be able to pin point the reason then, kindly see your doctor again or seek a second opinion, allergist/ dermatologist, good luck
