Soy alone could caus the prolonged heavy bleeding..flax could possibly exasperate and EPO could make a thicker endometrium causing more blood..
I'd suggest quit all soy at least..and any other isoflavones.. bet you do feel better within a couple of months.
Before any D&C you can check for endometrial thickening with a ultrasound (also endometrium thickening usually does not mean anything worse..its common in hypothyroid..which can be brought on by soy and isoflavones..)
..and also I suspect one can just take a sample of tissue to check for any nasties..similar to a pap smear only in the uterus..but its only my latest gyn that has suggested that one to me.(I think)Yeah progesterone for over a year in doses most take will bring on symptoms a bit like cushings, I've mentioned this b4 somewhere..progesterone excess converts to cortisol? I think..usually takes 12-15 months for buildup in fat of most females..but they do feel good for the first few months! at least that is what I've noticed. Happens in over 90% I'd say. Probably why we naturally cycle it? Also I suspect maybe not rubbing on fatty area?..maybe more the wrist or just above and only a tiny dose?..just a theory
How was th progesterone taken..cream? and if so, where was it applied? or trouches or capsules :-) I'm guessing cream and rubbed on fatty areas?D&C are considered just routine and a small op..and are for most I guess. Hope this helps some anyway.
Wishing you well,
tea (who's had a D&C and was OK that time..but also had many many years of that heavy bleeding which stopped with thyroid meds..not that I'm suggesting thyroid meds..just don't take any isoflavones of any kind that could slow the thyroid function maybe?)
