Started Ginet-84, Got Periods With Extreme Cramps, Clots Of Blood. Could It Be A Side Effect?

I have just started taking Ginet-84 (having almost finished the first packet, in the red area) and my period started and on day two I had extreme cramps and then passed about 3 clots of blood during the day. Ive never had problems with clots like this before and wondered if it was perhaps a side-effect. I am taking this pill to stop my periods as was getting fed up with them (Im 50 and still no menopause ), wondering perhaps I should have just had the injection instead but was told this caused weight gain but have found this does also.

Hello,

Welcome to the forum. No, it is not a side effect. You have just started on Ginet-84, you are also in menopausal phase. Your body and system may take some time to adjust with the medication you have been taking. You do not need to worry, at this phase of life menstruation disturbances do exist. It is a natural process. Sometimes you may get scanty menstrauation, sometimes you may see big clots. At times menstruation can also be excessive or at times you may miss your periods. Before menopause irregularity in menstruation cycle is common.

You should not take injections to get it stopped unnaturally, it will only result in hormonal disbalance, mood fluctuations, hypertension, dizziness or confusions. I will suggest you to let it stop naturally.

It is a delicate phase through which you are passing, take health capsules like Evion once daily for a few days to help you feel better. Also take calcium, protein, iron rich diet. Take energy drinks. A balanced diet with regular exercise should be yoyr way to start the day. Just relax and chill. I will help you if you have problems. Take care.
