Question : Hi I never got my Period since December. Last day of period 14 November. I left the pill after 4 years. I got two kids age 4 and 5. I want to conceive I thought It would happen straight away. I do feel a lot of abdominal lower pain like PMS. I did a scam uterine lining shows very thin. A doc gave me norterthistorone progesterone for 7 days 5mg twice a day I took that it’s been one week since I left it and still no period. I got underactive thyroid. I take active folate daily too. How can you help me get my period and
Conceived

Brief Answer:
No need to worry about it.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
I have gone through your history and understand your concerns.
As per your description these symptoms could be due to hormonal imbalance caused by pills.
Once you stop the pill ,usually period resume within a month but sometimes it may take time to resume menses depending upon how long you are on pill and type of pill.
Abdominal pain could be due to hormonal changes and maybe indication of starting of menses.
You can take analgesic medicine for the same.
As you already took progesterone just wait and watch for your menses.
But as you have not done any pregnancy test,get blood beta hcg level, tsh( sometimes it may get delayed menses ) and ultrasound pelvis.
You can take folic acid tablet and do alternate days sex to increase the chances of pregnancy.
Drink a lot of warm water and soft diet and lifestyle changes are required in your case.
Hope found useful,feel free to ask more information.
Good luck
Regards

Hi,
Sorry for the delay in my response.
Thick white discharge could be due to hormonal changes caused by progesterone.
If it doesn't contain any smell and vaginal itching is not there,no need to worry about it.
