I am 31 yrs old. Experiencing infertility for 4 yrs. h/o dysmenorrhea before. After diagnosed i had endometriosis grade 3 and 30/10/15 laproscopy. The next day i took an inj. of luprodox IM according to doctors orders and 15 inj. of placentrax within one month, alternating days. I also took dienogest for 3 months after surgery. The following month 17/11/15 i got my period and after that amenorrhoea for 4 months. I asked my doctor about it and she advised me regestrone 5 mg TID for 5 days, but before taking this tablet i got my period normaly, so she told me there's no need to take this tab now... I want to know for what reason she advised me to take this tab? h/o endometriosis? Also, can I conceive or not..? Any special advice? ## Hello, Minu! How are you? I'm sorry about the pr...

I am 67 and had light spotting a couple of times so went to doctor for check up. All was normal. He prescribed the medroxypr PC 10 mg tab for 14 days and when I stop it let him know if it makes me start me start a period. Reading all the notes - why would he me something to make me start - He said it would stop me from spotting. At this point I've been having a period for about 10 days (fairly heavy) with no signs of stopping. Will this finally stop on its own? ## Hello, Nett! How are you? Sometimes, even once past menopause, the estrogen in your body still causes the uterine lining to build up and that can result in some irregular bleeding or spotting. The hormone in this medication is a progesterone and it's that one that usually helps balance the estrogen, to turn your period...

My last period was 27/03/15 but on 6/05/15 blood-like gel came out two times in two days. Then I consulted my dr who suggested that I take dubagest 100 twice 21/05-30/05, but on 27/05 at 5pm my period started. What should I do? Can I continue treatment or do I need to stop taking dubagest? ## My last menstruation was on May 6th 2015, but in June i have not had my menstruation. My menstruation is gone. I have not had intercourse within the last two months. ## You should follow your doctor's dosing instructions and continue to take it as long as they've told you to do so. The U.S. FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, irritability, spotting and PMS-like symptoms. Jonnalyn, have you consulted your doctor? Are you on any medications?

Has anyone experienced severe muscle spasms especially around the body beneath the breast. I have been on tamoxifen for 1 1/2 years and have experienced these spasms since I started. They are so bad they sometime take my breath away. My dr says it is not the tamoxifen. I have experienced ALL the listed side effects. ## Hello, Linda! How are you doing? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having. No, that's not a known side effect of Tamoxifen. Have you had this checked out via x-rays or an MRI? You may want to consult a different doctor to get help discovering what's causing it. ## Thanks for the reply. I figured out the cause. I stopped the tamoxifen several weeks ago and the pain is almost gone. I think when the drug is completely out of my body, it will be complete...

I am a 41 y/o woman who has had a complete hysterectomy. I am currently taking Estradiol in a low dosage (small pink pill) and have only been taking it for about 3 weeks now. I still don't feel right. I feel like mentally, I'm cloudy and not able to focus. I have been having some trouble sleeping recently too. Also, I'm irritable, and have been having hot flashes something bad. My question is, do you think I would benefit from having the dosage raised a little, or should I wait and see another week. I am also having symptoms similar to an anxiety attack, pretty regularly. Please tell me if I should try another form of estrogen, or wait and see how this will go. ## I am very sorry about what you're experiencing. You should have yourself checked out, you may need a dosage ...

It has helped me to feel normal after a hysterectomy and has continued. Without it I am tired, joint pain, no sexual desire, mental tiredness, night sweats, depressed and overall just feel bad.

I have taken Estratest or generics of same dosage/combination for years after my total hysterectomy with very good results. I work on a cruise ship and am rarely in the US. With the new FDA decision to treat it as a "controlled substance" due to the testosterone and the new prescribing regulations, I am having a VERY difficult time getting my medication and have been having to take other estrogens without testosterone in between my visits to the US. Does anybody know if there is a combination med equivalent to Estratest in other countries? I have been unable to find it in the few I've checked. ## I have never herd of this intil today! Estratest sounds like heaven at this point! Is it by RX only? Do b you need blood work and all the other expensive tests? ## It is by prescrip...

I was prescribed prenatal plus tablet by my doc. I am ttc after the loss of my baby in feb. I've read the previous posts where it is explained what vitiams it contains. I've looked it up and that is when you are taking 4 pills. My doc prescribed it for a quantity of 100 but the pharmasist said they can only do 30 a month. So is this prenatal suppose to be taken as 1 or 4 pills a day? I just want to make sure that i am getting the appropriate amounts. ## Hi Sara, The dosage guidelines for Prenatal Plus Indicate that: As a dietary adjunct before, during and after pregnancy, take one tablet daily with a meal, or as directed by a physician.

Many women use this to delay their cycle by a few days, or to stop prolonged, heavy bleeding.

My doctor told me to only take the Lo Loestrin BLUE pills. However, I read that BOTH the blue and the white contain 10 mcg ethinyl estradiol. I have been throwing away the white and brown pills each month, and immediately starting on a new pack of blue pills. Now, I'm wondering if I should also be taking the WHITE ones. If they have the same ingredients and same strength, I don't want to just waste them. ## Update: I found out that although there are equal amounts of ethinyl estradiol in the blue and white pills, there is another, more important, ingredient in the blue pills. So, it's BLUE PILLS ONLY, just as the doctor ordered. ## Thanks for update Matilda. I was just going to add for other readers here that each brand of contraceptive tends to have different instructions f...
