Portia for Abnormal Uterine Bleeding User Reviews
- Anonymous
- June 15, 2011
"I have had a really bad period experience in the past, so I am used to the pain from cramps. On my first month when I started taking the pill, my period was so painful I took 9 Midols in one day. I know it was a bad idea, but I could not stand the pain. I had nosebleeds (which I had never had before). My doctor said to stay on it and see if my body would get used to it. My period pains got better, but I was exhausted all the time. I just wanted to sleep, and I gained ten pounds. So, after being on it for only five months, I decided it wasn't worth it."

"I have been on Portia for 4 months for heavy and long periods. I had an ablation for fibroids 2 years ago, and it was a failed ablation which left me with one tiny fibroid. It was causing problems with periods lasting up to 8 days and spotting in the middle of the month. I am so pleased with this pill. I am 47, and I am ready for my periods to be over. Being on Portia allows me to plan my vacations. My periods are lasting about 6 days now, with the 1st days being basically spotting and day 5 being light and day 6 being spotting with a watery drainage. My only problem is that my sex drive has been very high. I thought it was my age. I have always had a sex drive, but now it is so unbearably high. I like this pill and hope that my days continue to decrease. I will keep the sex drive because I am going to need it when my soulmate comes. lol"
