Abnormal Periods and using Primolut N

by Neelum
(Pakistan)

I'm 24 years old and live in Pakistan. I had abnormal heavy periods for about 6 months in a row and the effect of all that was that I ended up having anemia. My heamo level dropped as low as 6.9.

The doctors suggested I should be given a blood transfusion which I declined and now I'm on iron inducing tablets that have worked out great for me. My gynecologist didn't put me on the progestin primolut N at first maybe since her main concern was to balance out the heamo level. Two months ago she prescribed me the hormone therapy after finding out that my anemia has more or less disappeared.

Well primolut N has truly done a great job for me. My periods have become completely normal and the bleeding has regulated. My gyne wants me to continue the therapy for another two months but I am considering discontinuation because during the time I take primolut I have terrible pain in my legs, persisting body pain, hyperpigmentation, and also once blurring of the vision. It says in the leaflet of the medicine box that in case of such side effects immediate discontinuation of the medicine should be observed. I will contact my doc about this and hopefully withdraw the treatment because I'm also finding it hard to deal with the mood swings and depression. Though I am also quite worried if I do leave the therapy my periods might become heavy again and that is something very difficult for me to cope with.

I wish I knew of some natural way of dealing with this or natural progesterone which I had no info about before I had read the info on your website. My wedding is due soon and I don't like my skin to have pigmentation or acne (where these problems with my skin didn't exist before). I hope anyone reading this will find this helpful, take care and research before you begin to start any form of medication or therapy.

 Abnormal Periods and using Primolut N
by: Wray

Hi Neelum. Progesterone would have helped with your heavy periods, in fact it still can. Primolut N is norethisterone, a synthetic progestin. It's no wonder you are having those symptoms, please see this. Although your periods are normal and the bleeding has been helped, it is not by any natural means. Once you stop taking the drug, your symptoms will probably return. Heavy bleeding of this nature indicates a high oestrogen level, low progesterone. To correct the bleeding, I've found at least 200mg/day of supplemental progesterone is needed, sometimes more.
Please see this web page.

Progesterone does help melasma, or pigmentation,
please see this. It's caused by contraceptives, also high endogenous oestrogen levels. Oestrogen stimulates the melanocytes in the skin to make excess melanin. Although your acne has been caused by the progestin,
please see this web page on it. If you should ever need contraception, the copper T IUD is the safest, avoid the IUD's impregnated with a progestin. Take care, Wray

 still not getting the period
by: Amudha

I was getting correct period every month on 16th, last month I had period 3 days before as I thought because of journey it was postponed. But this month I was awaiting from 13th but still now 29th I didn't get the period after checking with pregnancy test. Actually it was negative. I had a fever & had several anti biotic tablets in this month. Is it the reason to postpone?

Now how to go about this. I am 31 years and have a child: 13 years.

 pl answer!!!
by: Anonymous

I'm 19 yrs old. I'd been getting my periods regularly till July this year, after which the following month (that's August), I didn't get it. During this time (that's between July & August, I suffered from severe fever with viral arthritis. When I consulted a doc, I was given primolut-n after which I got periods regularly in September and October. Now it's my date today but I haven't yet got my periods. I've been askd to wait for another 3-4 days. Kindly advise me as to what to do. Please tell me if there's any serious problem in my case.

by: Wray

Hi there A fever of any kind can upset our periods, there was no need for the doctor to give you a contraceptive. For more info on these please see our page on Contraceptives. He should have let nature take it's course. I can't tell you if there is anything serious going on, only your doctor can. But if you've recovered from the illness, I can't see why there should be. If you want something natural to help your cycle, please consider using progesterone. For more info please see our page on How to use progesterone cream. Take care Wray

 Absent periods
by: Caoimhe

Hi there, I was on the pill for nearly 4 years and came off in May as I am keen to get pregnant. I have not had a natural period since May and am not pregnant. After being told to wait for 6 months as the absent period could be a result of coming off the pill, my GP put me on Primolut N. I have been taking the tablets 3 times a day for over a week. My hormone profile was normal except that my progesterone levels were quite low.
I am wondering when should I expect to have a period (I am hoping this will happen soon). Should it arrive while I am taking the Primolut or when I stop taking them? The course runs out on Tuesday.

 Absent periods
by: Wray

Hi Caoimhe The pill can upset the cycle hugely, please see this page we have on Contraceptives. It doesn't surprise me your progesterone is low, the pill stops ovulation. It's only after this occurs that the ovaries make progesterone. It's very strange to give you a contraceptive, after you've just come off them and you're trying to fall pregnant! Your period should come after you stop taking them. Primolut N contains norethisterone (also known as norethindrone), see here and here. It contains a very high dose at 5mg/day, some only contain 0.35mg/dose. Which means you are taking 15mg/day, this will in all probability make you bleed. But then? Your ovaries have been upset by the contraceptive you were on, will this make them work again? I doubt it. Having a period is no indication you will conceive, but ovulation is. Have they checked if you're ovulating? Because unless this occurs you won't. We have two pages you might like to read. One is on PCOS, although you don't have this, it explains what to do to heal the ovaries, see PCOS. The other is on Pregnancy. This page explains how to use progesterone when trying to conceive, and it's use during pregnancy. Take care Wray

 delay
by: maria

hey, my name is maria, i remember before i had period problems, it delayed for a month, so i went to see the doctor, and she checked and said everything was normal, and so she gave me this primolut n, when i took it my periods came normal, i was on these pills every month and so i stoped takin them, so my period came out normal without the pill that was on nov 29, and i waited for my next period without the pill until now from 29th nov to 21st january, i still didn't get my period, am having cramps and mood swings , but no period, should i take the primolut n again or i just wait and see what happens?

 delay
by: Wray

Hi Maria Primolut N is norethisterone, a synthetic progestin, please see our page on Contraceptives. I don't advise any women to take them, except for the copper T IUD. In your case, as your cycle is irregular, I would suggest progesterone, as it has no adverse side effects. Progesterone will also help the cramps and mood swings. See this page for more info on How to use progesterone. The only reason your cycle became 'normal' was the pill forcing you to have a period on time. I take it they've checked for PCOS?

 delayed period after 6 mos on primolut
by: rich

hi there! I was diagnosed with PCOS last june, I was told by my OB to take primolut n for 6months, last December was the last month of my treatment. during those months that I took primolut, I got regular periods (which never happened before I found out I have pcos). however, after seeing my doctor last january she told me that i still have PCOS (i showed her my latest TVS) then she told me to stop taking the meds and monitor my period for Feb and March. I'm supposed to have my period Feb. 1, it's now Feb.10 and I still don't have my period. Is this something serious? Should I go back to my OB now (she told me to come back after my period for march)?

 delayed period after 6 mos on primolut
by: Wray

Hi Rich Anovulation and lack of periods is common in POCS but it is possible to reverse it with nutrients and progesterone. The most important is vitamin D, please have a test done, for more info see the Vitamin D council and GrassrootsHealth websites. All Contraceptives do is cause breakthrough bleeding, it's not a proper period. Plus they come with many adverse side effects and reduce your progesterone level, which is already low. PCOS is caused by oxidative stress, hence the need for the antioxidants to reverse it. Please have a look at our page on PCOS. Take care Wray

 Irregular Period and no Ovulation for 2 years
by: Christine

I am 39yrs and TTC for 3 yrs. My period has not been steady for the past 2 yrs and i have not been ovulating. I was on/off primolut N. My last period was Dec 6th 2010. I underwent series of fertility tests in February and the results are:
Progesterone - very low: 0.2ng/ml
FSH - very high: 39mIU/ml
LH: - very high: 41mIU/ml.

I was placed on progesterone injection for 2 weeks alternate days and primolut N 3 times daily for one month. I am still on the primolut N tablets and no period yet.

My question is: will the medications correct my period and keep it normal? My big concern is to restore my ovulation as age is not on my side.

Pelvic scan and TVS show bulky uterus that harbors nodules of intramural fibroid measuring 23.15mm X 22.42mm, 35.07mm X 35.40mm, and 33.49mm X 34.26mm and spanned round the entire uterine cavity. HSG further revealed that my tubes were not visible at all and the implication is that there is bilateral occlusion to my tubes by the fibroid.I am planning surgery by May 2011.

Please your candid advice and counseling is desperately needed.

 missed period
by: Wray

Hi there I would never recommend any Contraceptive to any woman. It can cause too many adverse symptoms. Have you been checked for PCOS? This can upset your cycle, please read through this page as it explains why and what to do about it. A lack of progesterone causes the cycle to be upset, more about this on our page How to use progesterone cream. A lack of vitamin D also upsets the cycle, please have a test done, see the Vitamin D council and GrassrootsHealth websites for more info on testing. Take care Wray

 Irregular Period and no Ovulation for 2 years
by: Wray

Hi Christine I'm continually amazed at why doctors will give Contraceptives to regulate a cycle. Yes they will, but totally unnaturally. Besides which they prevent ovulation. Primolut N contains norethisterone (also known as norethindrone). Norethisterone, at low doses, prevents release of an egg from the ovaries, see here. Unless we release an egg, we make no ovarian progesterone. It doesn't surprise me your progesterone is low, and it doesn't surprise me you are not ovulating. High LH also stops ovulation. By supplementing with progesterone is should bring down the LH, and hopefully get the cycle going again. I know you don't have PCOS, but please look at this page we have, which explains why anovulation occurs, and what to do about it. We do have a page on Pregnancy too, which explains how to use the progesterone and when. It appears you have inflammation and excess oestrogen too. Fibroids are caused by oxidative stress, and they are stimulated by oestrogen, an inflammatory hormone. Please have a vitamin D test done, a lack of this nutrient can stop ovulation and causes inflammation. For more info please see the Vitamin D council and GrassrootsHealth websites. Vitamin D is critical for a healthy pregnancy and a growing foetus, see here, here, here, here, here and this excellent video here. Take care Wray

I'm 18 yrs old and was bleeding from march 26 to may 26 continuously until my OBGYN gave me Primolut N which, from this site, i found out is a contraceptive, and i dnt like birth control. i got a period this mrng so im wondering wht will happen if i stop taking it.

 HELP
by: Wray

Hi there All Contraceptives can cause adverse side effects, so I'm pleased you are against them. You might like to read this page as confirmation of their damaging effect, see here. Nothing but good will come from stopping it. It's evident your progesterone is too low, one reason the doctor gave you the Primolut. They mistakenly believe it's the same as progesterone, but it couldn't be further removed. Progesterone is excellent at stopping continual and/or heavy bleeding, but I've found 400mg/day is needed. Once under control, the amount should be reduced very slowly. We do have more info on our page How to use progesterone. But before you consider using it, please read our page on Oestrogen Dominance first. This can occur and is disconcerting if it does. Take care Wray

 Does Primolut N help just one month?
by: Sarta

I have been trying to get pregnant for 6 months but no result. I had regular periods (every 30-31 days) but since i started to try for pregnancy my periods are not very regular. I had my periods on 25th of March and they were late for 10 days, i got them on 5th of May, so my dr gave me Primolut N to take for 10 days (2 pills per day) and i had my next period on 3rd of June which was normal. But this month they are late again. I should have had my period on 3rd of July and it is the 9th today (pregnancy test negative) and no period. I am very worried. Does Primolut help just for one month? Why am I having difficulties in getting pregnant? Why my periods are not regular since i started to try for pregnancy? Please help...

 Does Primolut N help just one month?
by: Wray

Hi Sarta Primolut N is a contraceptive, not what you need to fall pregnant! It's a progestin, and contains norethisterone (also known as norethindrone), see here and here. It contains a very high dose at 5mg/day, some only contain 0.35mg/dose. At low doses it prevents the release of an egg from the ovaries, see here. It might make your period regular, but if it prevents ovulation, you will not fall pregnant. Has anyone checked to see if you're ovulating? Vitamin D is vital for normal ovarian function, including ovulation. Please have a test done, as this could be what you need. For more info see the Vitamin D Council and GrassrootsHealth websites. And if you live in the UK see Birmingham Hospital. Progesterone is needed too for ovulation. We do have more info on our Pregnancy page. Take care Wray

 Heavy Periods After Stopping The Use of Primolut-N
by: Anonymous

Hi. I'm 24 years old. I have two questions.

1) I wanted to delay my periods in June 2011 for some reason and so I used Primolut-N for continuous 17 days. After stopping this medicine, my 1st cycle of periods in July 2011 had an EXTREMELY less flow, but my 2nd and 3rd cycles of periods in Aug and Sept had an EXTREMELY heavy flow. I also had extremely bad cramps. Please tell me how to bring back the flow of my periods to normal level? Was using Primolut-N a mistake?

2)I am getting married next month and my periods dates are exactly my wedding dates, so I am thinking of using Primolut-N again to delay my periods for my wedding. So do you think I should use this medicine or some other medicine, because I don't really want a continuous heavy flow of periods.

 Heavy Periods After Stopping The Use of Primolut-N
by: Wray

Hi there I wish I could help you, but can't. I don't agree with taking drugs of any sort, for whatever reason, unless it's life threatening. I can only suggest you change the date of the wedding, or let nature takes it's course. There is only one possible recourse, and that's to use progesterone. Often when first using it the period comes earlier than normal, but I can't guarantee this. For more info see our page on How to use progesterone cream. Incidentally progesterone does stop heavy flow, cramps too. As it inhibits the prostaglandins which cause the cramping. Take care Wray

 No period for the last 7 months..
by: Wray

Hi there Both those drugs are giving you synthetic hormones, both are Contraceptives. I can't see how they will help your ovaries regain a normal cycle. If you think you have PCOS, please look through this page, as it gives info on how to reverse it. We also have a page on Pregnancy, which explains how to use progesterone. Please have a vitamin D test done, this is such an important nutrient, a lack leading to anovulation and abnormal cycles. For more info on vitamin D levels, testing etc see the Vitamin D Council, GrassrootsHealth, Birmingham Hospital and Vitamin D Links websites. Blood levels should be 70-100ng/ml or 175-250nmol/L and not the 30ng/ml or 75nmol/L most labs and doctors regard as adequate. The minimum daily dose should be 5000iu's per day, although the latest research indicates it should be 10,000iu's per day, see here. Take care Wray

 heavy clotting, progesterone not working
by: Janet

hi, I am 50 with large fibroids contributing to heavy bleeding. In Dec, had two horrendous periods with egg-sized clots (first time for this). Doc said my uterine lining was very thick and put me on progesterone 10mg (provera) for ten days each month. January period was better, Feb was back to a long bleed with egg clots again. wondering if different dosage would help or taking progesterone continually is better. BTW My iron levels are fine, I take iron regularly.

thanks

 irregular periods
by: Ammu

Hai,
I am 27 years old and recently diagnosed with PCOS, which I came to know when my periods was missed for 2 months, I met the doctor and she prescribed me glucophage and to take duphaston 10mg BD for 10 days. After completing the course of duphaston, I got my periods within a week and this was on July 25 . I was waiting for my next periods to come by August 25 or probably on before of that but it didn't. Then I met my doctor again done my ultrasound it was showing some endometrium thickness and she asked me to wait. On September 7 I got my periods and that was not a normal it seems to be like a spotting , went back to my doctor on next day she done the scan again and she told me that am not ovulating. And now it's been 11 days with the spotting , so my doctor prescribed me for tranexamic tab for 3 days. Would my periods will be regular after this?? Am so worried please help me...

 Using primolut N and clomiphene in PCOS
by: Serena

Am Serena a 25years old. I did not see my period since September 2016 n am not pregnant. The Dr said I should go some investigation which ultrasound shows PCOS and went for hormonal assay and LH is 39.7mlU/ml, mostly high in luteal phase and slightly lower in mid-cycle phase while the FSH 3.8mlU/ml is low in mid-cycle phase. Prolactin and testosterone are normal.. I was advised to take primolut N for 2 weeks but starting clomiphene twice a day for a few months.

Please kindly assist me, it's urgent..

I got my periods on 17 May after 3 months, I got periods again on 17 June, I got a spot only and transparent type liquids.

Hi, I had an abortion in the month of march, I suffer with irregular bleeding, I take a lot of medicine but I am still irregular.

Then I was recommend Primulot N for a course of one month. That month was ok but in second month I did not take any medicine of it thats why I again got my periods in the same month after one and a half months.

What could I do now? I'm really upset.

 Abnormal period
by: Anonymous

Hi.

I also tried to use primolutN, about my period it is very effective but there was a side effect such as vomiting, headache, dizziness etc. so I decided to stop taking this medicine but then just after 5 months I got my period twice in one month and it is very long time to stop.

I wanted to ask is it fine if I take this medicine again? I'm still having my bleeding now specially when peeing, what should i do?

 absent menstrual period
by: Anonymous

I am 38yrs, my periods have not been regular ever since I started, I later found out it was my ear infection that upset my pituitary gland but I have treated the infection.

Most of the time my gyne doc gives me progesterone injection but periods seize for almost one and half years now. Recently I started having my normal cramp as if my period is coming yet I don't have one, also certain days of the month I always have these symptoms, could it be I am having menstrual period without signs?

I will appreciate your reply.
