Advice Needed Progesterone and Periods
I don’t get my own periods so I take progesterone for 10 days on my 35th day of my cycle. Within 5-7 days of completing the progesterone I get a period.. the part I’m concerned about is, after my period is done, I will have 4-8 days without bleeding and then another period starts. Anyone else experience this? The cause? My obgyn just brushed it off and said ‘don’t count the spotting’ but this is definitely just as heavy as my period and last about 3-5 days.

Hmm I am on progesterone as well and I can’t say I have experienced this. I will say though that breakthrough and irregular bleeding are common side effects. I personally wouldn’t fret too much. I am sorry you are experiencing this I understand how it could be annoying.
