Hi there, I have just started taking primolut today to try to get a period as we want to try for another child and I have not had a period in a while, however I have very sore lower tummy cramping and lower back cramping, tender breasts as well and thought maybe my period might already be coming? My question is will my period still come if it was already starting to while I m on primolut? Or will primolut delay it and it will come after my 10 day course? Thank you :)
Hi ! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. All the precautions including birth control pills are not 100% foolproof in protection against a pregnancy. If I were your doctor, I would go for a serum Chat Doctor determination to rule this out in view of your tummy cramping and back pain with tender breasts before labeling it as a premenstrual symptom. An ultrasound of the abdomen would also be helpful in ruling this out. Usually it is not normal for the periods to occur when you are on hormonal preparations. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
