Q's for those on progesterone...
| Thu, 08-04-2011 - 6:41pm |
Or more specifically, Aygestin (norethindrone). I was prescribed this today by my doc to take on CDs 16-25 due to spotting before AF. I just wondered if anyone has experienced any bothersome side effects while using progesterone supplements.
Also a few of the precautions listed that concern me are to avoid prolonged exposure to sun, excessive alcohol, and to let the doc know if you experience depression. Okay, to clarify why I'm concerned about those 3 in particular: 1. sunlight - we are going to Hawaii in September, 2. alcohol - did I say we are going to Hawaii in September? LOL (not that I will drink excessively, but will drinking some affect anything?). And also, it says to notify your doctor if you plan on taking long trips/plane rides because of risk of blood clots - its a 9 hour flight, and 3. depression - I have a history of anxiety problems which I think were a little on the lines of depression, though I wasn't diagnosed as being depressed.
Any thoughts on these? Any insight would be greatly appreciated! I plan to call my doc with my questions tomorrow, but thought I'd ask the wise ladies of IV as well. :)
Fx'd for you :)
