: The use of progestins or progesterone for "10 days a month" will generally control excessive growth of endometrial tissue in women who do not ovulate regularly. At "33 years of age", you are not statistically "pre-menopausal", so get a referral to a reproductive endocrinologist for an assessment of your ovulatory status.
