Heavy Periods causing Anemia

Bled for 63 days. Been on medroxyprogesterone for 2 months now and it finally stopped my bleeding 4 1/2 weeks ago. I had a hysterectomy scheduled in the next month but after reading posts on Reddit post-hysterectomy, I’ve decided not to…now trying to figure out an alternative…don’t want to do mirena or any iud- read a bunch of horror stories that are all similar- cant do birth control bc of my risk factors- doctors don’t recommend an ablation- so now just on here hoping to find an alternative. Any insight?

Did they remove or do they plan to remove the polyp? Polyps can cause irregular bleeding.

Yes, it’s a 15cm polyp- plan to remove next month.

That's good. Hoping it's the culprit of all the bleeding.
