Avatar n tn When you suddenly remove the Mirena– the current source of external hormones– you deprive your body of its daily dose of levonorgestrel (progesterone). This creates a state of hormonal shock, because now there is excess estrogen. It is this excess estrogen that ultimately causes the uncomfortable symptoms in your body after Mirena removal– including heavy, irregular vaginal bleeding and severe cramps.
2002523 tn?1327612787 Thanks so much for your reply. It's my understanding that due to the double-dose (twice daily) of the Introvale, the excess estrogen (0.06 mg of ethinyl estradiol) caused something called Leukorrhea. In theory, it should balance back out as my body acclimates to what will be my regular pill. My doc changed my script to Briellyn (I start the pack today) so that only the progesterone portion will be more than doubled.
Avatar n tn I'm currently on birth control pills (Ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel) and i'm overweight so i'm planning on taking Hydroxycut Hardcore Next Gen. Will Hydroxycut affect the effectiveness of my bcp?
Avatar m tn An hour later, I took the 72-hour emergency contraceptive levonorgestrel, two tablets of 0.75 mg. Is my girlfriend more likely to get pregnant? Sorry, my English is not very good.
439903 tn?1380137882 placenta) starts producing its own progesterone till you have at least two progesterone tests. For example, at 4 weeks my progesterone was 13.2 and a week later it was 35.2. The whole time I was injecting 1/2 cc PIO. So, since the # went up my body started producing some progesterone. Despite that, I will be doing PIO shots for the whole first trimester. I want to say that about 50% of women after ivf do PIO shots and 50% do suppositories. I think it's dr's preferences.
Avatar m tn Each tablet contains 0.75mg Levonorgestrel. and told me not to worry nothing will happen. but i am afraid please tell me if there is any chances of getting pregnant let me precise the whole thing 1- we were enjoying dry humping. (no intercourse and dry humping with full clothes on) he was on top 2- i am a virgin girl, never had sex before. not even this time, it was just dry humping. 3- my last periods were ended on 4th Feb. they were in between 29 jan to 4 feb.
551683 tn?1220656108 Hi Karen, I wanted to copy and paste the information I gave Jonzbeach regarding Bioidentical Progesterone vs. Synthetic Progesterone ....In that case, Jonz was asking about Megace.... Now, I don't know much about how Progesterone is used in women NOT in Menopause since I only have studied it with regards to how helpful it is in Peri- and Post- menopausal women.
Avatar m tn so early monday morning , my boyfriend and i were having sex and our condom broke . i have levonorgestrel at my disposal , but i haven't used it as a regular birth control . we had a similar situation a few months ago , and i used 4 pills of levonorgestrel immediately , & then 4 more in 12 hours following the first dosage , as recommended by a university healthcare website . everything worked out fine , & i felt very mild abdominal pain .
Avatar f tn Also, I took a pill after maybe around 14 hours after? I took the Levonorgestrel 3x/day and I am on my 3rd day taking it so I already consumed 9 tabs. Can I still get pregnant? I am so anxious and paranoid because I am still in the university and just about to reach my dreams. I am also too young to conceived and I was raised in a society which pre-marital sex is not honored. I am so shameful about myself to be honest.
Avatar f tn If your Oncologist recommends Arimidex I don't see why you think it would be contraindicated. This type of drug is usually recommended when ER/PR shows positivity. Your Oncologist is the best source of information as he/she has all the necessary information regarding your particular case. Regards ...
Avatar f tn They are only about 80% accurate. I would trust progesterone over an opk any day. I would trust an u/s over progesterone tests. With 24.6 at cd20, your dr is correct. O is earlier than what the opks are saying. It is possible that the Lh is taking a little longer to show in the urine and by the time it does, it is already over. This can happen with some women. Yes, a chemical pg would affect the progesterone level. It would be higher than if no pg occurred.
Avatar f tn 2-3 hours after that, he rubbed his penis on my v and when it got wet I immediately wiped and washed it with water. I was only able to take levonorgestrel 24-25 hours after that happened. He told me that he doesn't release anything before and after he ejacs. Are the chances of getting pregnant is low, medium or high?
Avatar f tn Hi guys sorry I am new here, So my wife is a virgin and we had non penetrative sex and some sperm was left on her vagina and we got worried that she could get pregnant then she took emergency contraceptive (levonorgestrel) 48 hours after. Then after 2 days we did non penetrative sex again and we got worried about pregnancy and she took emergency contraception again. This is emergency contraceptive twice in a week.
374593 tn?1257879950 i was using the suppositories for almost every cycle, but last pregnancy when my progesterone started dropping we switched to the PIO and my serum progesterone seemed to get higher that way but miscarried anyways.. anyhow this cycle was the first full cycle i've used PIO shots.. and i'm starting to spot and cramp like AF will be here (but i have BFN today- 12dpiui) i never spotted or started AF until three days after stopping the progesterone supp.
Avatar f tn I am wondering how far into pregnancy other women stopped progesterone suppositories? Did your doctor test your progesterone level after stopping? I am now 12 wks and my doctor said I could stop now, not planning to test my level. I have a history of low progesterone and recurrent miscarriage, so am a little nervous about stopping too early.
Avatar f tn Are they progesterone pills? If so do not stop taking them until you have spoken to your dr. These pills are given to women who are at risk of miscarriage. If it is progesterone pills you've been given them because your body isn't producing enough progesterone itself. And that is a hormone that is very important during pregnancy. Nausea and loss of appetite is extremely common during the first trimester. You just have to eat whatever sounds good at the time.
Avatar f tn Hi ladies. I'm 35 years old and 7 weeks pregnant. I've had 6 miscarriages in the past (last one was 2 years ago) due to low progesterone levels. I've been taking Crinone 8% suppositories once a day for the past 2 weeks but my OB changed my Rx (due to insurance issues) to Progesterone 100mg (generic for prometrium) 3 times a day which I take orally. I just started the progesterone yesterday and my question is... Is it better to take the Progesterone pills vaginally instead?
Avatar n tn While I understand that there is always a risk of DVT, depression or stroke when taking contraceptive pills, I was thinking, there are other brand of pills which contains more or less the same hormones ethinylestradiol and levonorgestrel. So should I be concerned? I have been on other brand of pills in the past which contained ethinylestradiol and norethisterone and I was fine with it.
1129232 tn?1360800358 I have done both and while the shots are less frequent, they raise your serum progesterone and hcg levels so you have to wait longer to get an accurate positive. the suppositories let your body get on with producing progesterone without affecting your serum levels, they just support the process. they are a bit messy and expect quite a few pregnancy symptoms with them but they won't interfere with you BT result. good luck with your transfer ... how exciting!!
1748995 tn?1427334864 I took estrogen thru ought my cycle and a four days before the transfer my dr had me start progesterone. I also was started on baby aspirin, prednisone and an antibiotic. The day of the transfer I was given Valium and then during the 2ww I had to continue estrogen, progesterone and baby aspirin till I took my beta. Unfortunately none of my three embryos took and this evening I started another cycle. I hope this helps you a little. If you have any other questions I would be happy to help.
