What Are The Side Effects Of Oral Progesterone?
I am 53year old woman having some complications in menopause. Having erratic periods and often thickning of endometrial lining. Have got mirena inserted recently. First periods after that was very heavy. Dr has put me on oral progesterone. I am worried about the side effects of this. And how long it will take to settle down.

Hello
Mirena placed, you are advised to take oral progesterone .
Your question is about the side effects of progesterone.
I want to tell you that progesterone is a natural compound and it is naturally produced in boy .
Apart from normal functions in boy , sometimes it may modify the menstrual cycle ( spotting , breakthrough bleeding ) and decrease the flow , progesterone in general ( oral ) are relatively SAFE DRUGS.
You can use it even for prolong period .
Still , feel any problem consult your doctor .
Good luck.
