Title: Just upped my progesterone and I'm bruising easily is this a coincidence?
Post by: Hopeful2 on April 28, 2025, 03:47:20 PM

Hi ladies.

Looking for advice please.

I upped my progesterone to 2 x 100 utrogestan, 3 days ago as I'm going to up my Sandrena to 2mg. Dr said I could up the progesterone for a week first before upping Sandrena as I was worried about side effects. I woke up with bruise on foot this morning maybe different shoes I had on, but now just hurt my thumb changing gears driving and have bruise there too. Could this easy bruising be caused by upping the progesterone or is it just a coincidence? Thanks for your help.

Any unexplained bruises should be shown to a medic., is there anything in the leaflet in the box to explain the possilibies?

Hi ladies.

I woke up last night with sore eye looked in mirror & it looked like very small black bruise on eyelid, but this morning it had vanished. Anxiety soaring today as getting anxious about taking the utrogestan tonight. It maybe I'm just adjusting to the extra progesterone?
