What happens if you don't have your period?

During the entire process of in vitro fertilization, doctors will give down-regulation injections to women who are preparing for pregnancy. The effectiveness of the down-regulation injection is mainly exerted in emergency contraception. However, most women are worried that the down-regulation injection will cause certain effects on the human body, and they are skeptical about the effects of the down-regulation injection, such as whether they will still have their period after the injection. So, let’s talk about what happens if you downregulate and don’t have your period? Will I get my period after taking the down-regulation injection?

Pituitary downregulation is the use of artificial drugs to reduce the body's hormones to a certain level. The purpose of doing so is to obtain a sufficient number of eggs, to ensure the quality of the eggs and the quality of the test tube embryos. Generally, after one month, the menstrual period will gradually resume. The purpose of down-regulating injections during in vitro fertilization is to increase the number of eggs, improve the synchronization of uterine development, and strive to obtain more synchronously grown mature follicles. It is best to go to a reliable tertiary hospital for in vitro fertilization.

Will I have my period after taking the down-regulation injection?

Taking a down-regulation injection will affect the menstrual period. Some people will experience amenorrhea, and the duration of amenorrhea generally varies from 40 to 80 days. Some people will also experience a decrease in menstrual volume. If pregnancy is confirmed, wait until the drug is metabolized and then resume menstruation.

You can do an ultrasound ovulation test during this period, so that you can determine the best time to get pregnant. Maintain a good attitude.

In the early stage of down-regulation injection, due to the increase in blood estradiol level, endometriosis may be caused, which will disappear after 1-2 weeks. After the first injection, uterine bleeding may occur, and it may also cause uterine and ovarian hypertrophy, pelvic pain or abdominal pain. Other side effects include sweating, vaginal dryness, decreased libido, and difficulty in sexual intercourse. A few people also suffer from headaches, joint pains and muscle pains.

The side effects of the down-regulation injection are actually not serious, because no matter what disease you are suffering from, you will feel dizzy, nausea, etc. after the injection. However, after the down-regulation injection, symptoms such as fatigue, fever, and headache may also appear. There will be very little pain during the injection, so don't be too anxious.

The side effects of the downregulation injection will generally last for at least a month, but depending on each person's physical fitness, the side effects may disappear quickly for some people, while for others they may last longer. There is no need to worry about this side effect, nor to take any Chinese medicine to alleviate it, because doing so will cause harm to the body.
