Can taking progesterone 10mg for 10 days cause leg cramps? I took it to induce a period and on days 2-10 I had bad calf and leg cramps. I even had ultrasounds done to rule out DVTs, which were normal. I've been off the medication since Sunday and have started taking Magnesium, which has helped somewhat. Just wondering if progesterone is the culprit and how long it stays in your system.

I've had the same situation occur twice recently (3/21 and today) where I experienced a sharp stabbing pain in my lower abdomen immediately after orgasm during intercourse. The pain was 8/10 severe, followed by an urgent need to pee and extreme nausea. The first time I vomited several times, the second time the nausea faded before vomiting. Both times the pain subsided within an hour or so with some Tylenol. Has the pain been stable or has it gotten worse over time? Is the pain constant or does it come and go? Have you also experienced any nausea, bloating, or changes in stool? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?

I am facing a problem with my periods. My last period was on August 24, and I am not getting my periods now. I was pregnant but in October, my doctor told me that the blood tests are negative. I am 20 years old and using contraceptives. I also have thyroid issues, and my weight has been fluctuating. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I am 10 weeks pregnant and have been experiencing spotting. I went to the ER where the baby measured 3.8cm, but the gestational sac was only 3.9cm. I am confused because everything I've read suggests this could be an impending miscarriage, but the ER doctor said everything was fine. Could a full bladder during the ultrasound have made the sac appear smaller? What should I understand about the gestational sac size at this stage of pregnancy?

What over-the-counter product can I take if my private area is itching and burns at times when doing my bathroom business? The itchiness started in my vaginal area, feels like a rash with cuts at times, and has been ongoing for a few years despite negative test results from previous gynecologist visits.

I’m trying to understand the results of my pregnancy blood test and want to ensure it’s not an ectopic pregnancy. I am 36 years old, not using contraceptives, and my last period was around July 20th. I have slight cramps but no bleeding. What should I know about my situation?
