Second Opinion

[UrPandaPal]

Hi, I have recently had some tests done about extremely irregular periods. I was missing every other month and now I haven't had a period since August. I am not pregnant. I had an ultrasound and blood tests done. My doctor said that everything was fine and that I was just irregular. She gave me progesterone to take for ten days and then three pill packs to get regular. I have taken the first six pills of the progesterone and my mother is freaking out because she thinks I should have my period by now, so she called my doctor who said that it could take a while for it to start and even if I don't get it after the 10 pills to start taking the birth control. This apparently wasn't enough for my mother and wants to seek a second opinion, but I have the right to refuse a second opinion. I was wondering if any of this information sounded off...like, does not starting for a while after taking progesterone sound odd? Thank you!

I am taking the same pills. And you take them for 10 days than once you stop taking them you should get your period up to two weeks later before you can say it didnt work. Mine always come 2-3 days after I take my last pill. there has been a few times were it has come on the day of my 9th pill but doesnt happen to often. Dont freak out until days after your done taking all 10. And its possible that you may need a higher dosage to get it in gear. Did your dr check for PCOS? Good luck And I hope you get it soon

Hey! Well about 6 months ago my doctor did the same to me. I took the pills for 10 days and 3 days later i got a period, but i did hear from my doctor that sometimes due to the abnormal hormones in our bodies it may take our bodies time to realize whats going on. If you dont get your period after the frist 10 pills then continue to start the other one and let your doctor know that you did not get you AF just yet. hope this info helped you a lil! :)
