Dear P,

You may want to try taking a few vitamins along with the hormonal therapy to get to a moderater regularity. Most young women still have a highly irregular period at the age of your abortion your body may have not yet adjusted to these changes. The vitamins may give your body what it may lack therefore increasing the chances of regularity. I suggest a women's multivitamin to see if it will help.

Don't forget to click the accept button if this helps.

Best of luck Dear

I have been taking a prenatal multivitamin, just for the added nutrients and no this has not helped with the bleeding either.
Thank you anyways, I will continue to seek additional GYN advise.
