Hi Karla. Yes it could cause risk factors as it's not progesterone, it's levonorgestrel! <a href="http://www.progesteronetherapy.com/hrt-research.html" target="_blank">Please see here.</a> And <a href="http://www.rxlist.com/mirena-drug.htm" target="_blank"> here.</a> Heavy bleeding is normal when in peri-menopause, <a href="http://www.progesteronetherapy.com/peri-menopause.html" target="_blank">please see here.</a> Progesterone does help with heavy bleeding, but the amount to use is higher than normal. One woman who wrote to me said her doctor put her on 900mg/day. I suggested she dropped this to 600mg/day but to divide the amount up and use it hourly. She found this worked too. It wasn't until she dropped the amount to 400mg/day that she had a period, which was normal. She had been bleeding heavily and continuously for months with no break. Unless this is occurring to you, I don't think you will need such a high amount, 200mg/day will probably help. If not it's easy enough to increase the amount, once you've been helped it can just as easily be reduced, but slowly. Take care, Wray
