Patient's question:
Irregular menstruation, the doctor prescribed progesterone capsules. But after taking the progesterone for half a month, my period still hasn't come. Can I get progesterone injections again? How many injections should I get?Doctor's answer:
Your description: You have not had your period for half a month after stopping progesterone. It should be considered that the estrogen level in your body is low, so there is no response to the progesterone. If you have had sexual activity, pregnancy should be considered.Suggestions: It is recommended to first rule out pregnancy. If it is confirmed that you are not pregnant, you should go to the hospital for a color Doppler ultrasound. If the endometrium is too thin, then injecting progesterone will also be ineffective. It is recommended to further undergo a sequential estrogen-progesterone therapy: take Premarin continuously for 20 days, and add progesterone on the 15th day, for a total of 5 days. If your period comes within 3 to 5 days after stopping the medication, it indicates that the lack of menstruation is due to low estrogen levels. If the period still does not come after one week, it should be considered that the endometrium is damaged, indicating uterine amenorrhea.
