Patient's question:
I stopped taking the long-term birth control pill, which I had been on for two years, in August this year. However, my period stopped immediately. On October 1st, the hospital prescribed me five days of progesterone (10 tablets a day). My period came on October 10th. Then, in November, it didn't come again. So, on December 1st, I went to the hospital again and was prescribed another five days of progesterone (10 tablets a day). But I've been taking it, and it still hasn't come. I want to ask what could be the reason? (I have been tested and confirmed not to be pregnant). Is it not enough dosage? But I'm afraid that taking too much progesterone is not good for my health. Can I continue taking progesterone? Or would switching to hydroxyprogesterone be a better option? Looking forward to your reply!! Thank you so much!!!!!! FirstDoctor's answer:
??????Hello, taking birth control pills can cause irregular periods or amenorrhea. Emergency contraception can disrupt a woman's endocrine system. You can wait a few more days, and if menstruation still hasn't occurred, it is recommended to visit a hospital for a check-up.
