The same problem may come in the next cycle also. Then how many times MARTINOR can be taken? What are the side effects?

Hi,

Thanks for your query.

I have read your query & I understand your concerns.

Following is my reply:

1) Martinor is a progesterone tablet which is given to get cycle on desired days. Generally cycle starts within one week of startung Matinor.

2) Loprin contains ecosprin which is given to improve blood flow to endometrium.

3) Ovares is a multivitamin tablet which is good for overall health.

4) You have to continue the tablets as per prescription given by your IVF specialist.

I hope I answered your query. I will be available for any followup queries you have.

Regards,

Thanks for your reply and the explanation about LOPRIN and OVARES.
Actually the menstrual cycle was perfect (every 30 days) before taking these two medicines. But, after taking these two medicines, the cycle has stopped. Last cycle was 25 March. So, 12 days late (25 April till date). We have the following questions now:
1.      Why the cycle has stopped? Because of LOPRIN or OVARES?
2.     If my wife takes MARTINOR from today, then cycle may start by next week?
3.     Will there be a problem in the next cycle also?
4.     Is MARTINOR necessary for the next cycle?
5.      Is there any side effect to take MARTINOR in successive two cycles?
6.     Now doctor is planning to start B-LONG-F. What is the reason?
Thanks and regards

Hi, 1) Martinor is the reason for varying cycles. 2) I prefer taking martinor only after consulting your doctor and getting scans done. 3) Hopefully there will be no problem in next cycle. 4) Martinor not necessary in next cycle. 5) Martinor does not affect even if you take for 2 to 3 cycles. 6) B- Long F is for hyperprolactinemia. It will help you to conceive if there are problems with hyperprolactinemia. Regards, Dr. Mahesh Koregol

Why the cycle has stopped? Because of LOPRIN or OVARES? What are the side effects of LOPRIN in this case? I doubt LOPRIN (may be wrong). Please clarify.
Thanks.

Hi , Loprin or ovres both are not responsible for the delayed cycle. It could be because of martinor ( progesterone). Other 2 tablets are not hormones and are not responsible for this. I hope your doubt is cleared now. Regards, Dr. Mahesh Koregol

We have visited doctor. She has prescribed PRIMOLUT-N 5mg 3 times a day for 10 days.
Will this medicine help to re-start 14 days delayed period? When the period is likely to start?

Answered by Dr. Mahesh Koregol (44 minutes later)

Hi, Primolut-N is also a progesterone of different type. This will help in getting period. Periods will start approximately within 5 days of stopping this medicine.
