What Causes Irregular Spotting After Taking Primolut-n?

default
Posted on Fri, 11 Jul 2014
Question: Hi doctor, I had my menstrual cycle on 17th till April. Then I delayed it by taking primolut-n for 1 week. And my new day 1 became 24th May that lasts for 5 days. I was calculating my ovulation period. As i did sexual intercourse on 14th XXXXXXX I want to know the probability of me getting pregnant. Does this medicine shifts our cycle permanently or its just a temporary postponement? Moreover on 18th XXXXXXX I noticed some spots on UW(no bleeding in stool) and observing it for for last two days. It has been light spots till now, only today, the discharge was heavy.Not sure whether it is implantation bleeding or periods. Please clarify.

Brief Answer:
Pregnancy less likely.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Your new periods dates in May was 24th. Now in XXXXXXX the periods will be expected near 22nd XXXXXXX Once the periods are delayed with hormonal tablets next periods will be expected one month after the last periods.
The irregular spotting that you are having for last few days is likely to be due to impending period. It is not likely to be an implantation bleeding as the spotting is persisting for 2-3 days. It is best to wait for 3-4 more days and let the flow to gradually increase on its own.
In case the spotting stops then do test your urine for pregnancy. The fertile days were from 3-12 XXXXXXX

Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.

Thanks for your reply. Spotting persists even today with slight more discharge of red viscous liquid(still its not perfect bleeding/ can't be say flow, just happened twice a day). As you said chances of pregnant are very less, I will still go for pregnancy test after stoppage of bleeding. But just in case of positive, I don't want to go for pregnancy. Can you tell me the perfect dosage of SAFEGUARD-SR(available in India) and its side effects?

Brief Answer:
SAFEGUARD-SR is not used for abortion

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
SAFEGUARD-SR is not used for abortion. This is used for pain during periods. It will not help in terminating the pregnancy. You will have to get the Unwanted kit prescribed from your gynecologist in case the test comes positive.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
Regards.
