Progesterone And Bleeding After Menopause (Top voted first)

Updated

My doctor prescribed ten days of progesterone (two pills at night). This was prescribed because I started bleeding after having stopped my period for about a year and a half. I have endometriosis. So, after taking it for the ten days, my period started. I have been bleeding for approximately eight days. A lot of the lining is shedding, I have gushes of blood at times. This will be after times of severe cramping. How long can I expect this to continue before this period stops?

Hello, Sarah! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having.

Unfortunately, I can't say. It could last anywhere from a few days to several weeks. It depends on how thick the lining had built up that you have to shed.

Have you informed your doctor of what's going on?

The FDA lists the typical side effects of Progesterone as possibly also including nausea, headache, irritability, weight loss and PMS-like symptoms.

I've had 4 recurrent miscarriages before, and am now 11 weeks pregnant. My OB gave me ASPIRIN-ASPILETS EC to take 2x a day and PROGESTERONE 3x a day... Based on my ultrasound subchorionic bleeding, was it safe to take?
