It has helped me relax much after reading ur kind responses.<br />I'm a 34 yr old foreigner who had severe adenomyosis/ endometriosis grade 4. I did a frozen embryo transfer on 23rd april with positive b Hcg n it being above 1000 in 48 hrs.<br />I was on cyclogest 400mg bd , duphastone 10mg bd and progynova 4mg bd even b4 fet.<br /> But I got mild spotting sometimes pink and some times dark brown. So I was started on prolutan depot injection every 4 days. The spotting stops after the injection but re-appears every 4th day. Today I checked my progesterone levels b4 all treatment and it was 6.83. My scan is due on 20th May.. a days wait.. what can u suggest as my further management Dr? Can this be a threatened miscarriage? Should I continue prolutan?<br />Thanking u for ur great service.Hopefulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00568685143790926229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1851682447163727760.post-48352578099600296012018-05-16T09:53:29.865-07:002018-05-16T09:53:29.865-07:00Hello Dr.Ramirez,

I hope you don't mind my adding a ques...Hello!<br /><br />I hope you don't mind my adding a question to this entry, and I just wanted to thank you very much for all of the useful advice you've given on this site.<br /><br />I am a 26 year-old white and Hispanic female. As a teenager I had very irregular periods (I'd skip cycles or my cycles would never be consistent month-to-month when I did have them). I also had extremely painful cramps and back pain, heavy periods, and at times would have have nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea associated with my period (although I'm not sure if all of those things were related, to be honest). I've also always had trouble with unwanted body hairs (excessive hair on my arms and legs, hair on my chin and face). At about age 16, asked to be put on birth control pills when my doctor advised me that the hormones might help with my periods and their associated symptoms, and they worked wonderfully. My periods became regular, and my symptoms were much more bearable.<br /><br />This continued while I was BC pills, and I went off them for a period of time in college since I still wasn't sexually active. My periods became irregular again for about a year, although I did not have the problematic symptoms that I did as a teenager. When my husband and I met, I was 21 and decided that I wanted a more long-term method of BC, and I got a ParaGard IUD. My periods remained irregular and I had a return of problematic symptoms (which I understand is not unusual with that particular method), but when I had it removed two years later, I got pregnant immediately and had a healthy baby.<br /><br />I did, however, have abnormal thyroid tests during my pregnancy; I started losing my hair, I had very dry skin, and had issued with lightheadedness and dizziness and lots of anxiety (very unusual for me). My doctor at the time said that my results were unusual enough that I needed followup after my pregnancy (but not treatment right then), and that I might need an MRI (although I'm not entirely sure why).<br /><br />It's been 2 years since my son was born, and although I'm not necessarily worried about getting pregnant again (we've only been trying for 2-3 months), I am concerned about some new symptoms I've had since. I've gained about 10 pounds (I'm 5'7" and 165 lbs) without any particular changes in behavior; I came off Depo Provera in early February, so that may account for that. But I've also had increasing problems with unwanted hair - more on my face and chin, and I am starting to find hair on my chest, and I am starting to have issues with my hair and lightheadedness again.<br /><br />My concern is this: if my periods continue to be irregular as they have been without hormonal intervention, and I'm having other thyroid-related symptoms, could this affect my fertility in the future? Should I try to get this treated, if only to head off problems down the road?<br /><br />I appreciate any help you can offer!<br /><br />S.Geniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12813234122068377064noreply@blogger.com
