Patient's question:
My period was delayed by seven or eight days, so I went to the hospital and received three injections of progesterone. Three days later, my period arrived.Previous treatment and effectiveness: I have previously had ovarian cysts.
Kind of help needed:
Hello, after receiving three injections of progesterone, my period arrived. Is it possible that I can no longer conceive? I have been feeling better recently and wonder if I might be pregnant. Additionally, since my period only came after taking progesterone, is it possible that I have an endocrine issue, or is it related to the ovarian cysts affecting the normal function of my ovaries?
Doctor's answer:
The onset of menstruation is affected by various factors such as the environment, emotions, medications, and psychological stress. Menstruation delayed by more than 7 days for three consecutive cycles is considered abnormal, while occasional delays are not necessarily indicative of endocrine issues. Based on your description, if menstruation occurs after taking progesterone, pregnancy can be ruled out. However, occasional menstrual delays should not be overly concerning, as they are not necessarily pathological phenomena. It is recommended to observe carefully for several months.
