I started at 5mg but am now at a max dose of 15mg. I’ve been cramping intensely and bleeding for the last 15 days. The blood is dark and smells bad.

I reached out to my doc last week and she advised to treat with heat/ibuprofen.

When I had my MRI in March they identified a large cyst (42mm) in my uterus. I’m curious if it could possibly be leaking? Or if there is something else here that I’m missing.

I am seeing a specialist. She’s just a very highly sought after surgeon and I don’t always get answers very quickly, in this case a couple of weeks. Do you have an endo doc who isn’t also a surgeon? This particular incident just has me concerned and I’m wondering if others have experienced it.

Push for the doctors to confirm things you think it might be
Otherwise things can get too late
They always used to tell me oh take this medicine and that medicine but in reality they need to look inside the body to know what's best for it not outside the body
