 4  atypical uterine hyperplasia I have been on Megace for 5 months now and at my last Dr visit, 2 months ago, the repeat biopsy came back beign. I'm still on the Megace. I've had side effects,tiredness, moodiness and irritibility and low sex drive, but the Megace saved me from a hysterctomy. I visit my Dr again in a month, so we shall see. I guess it's been worth it. + F 54 5 months
