I have been having irregular periods for one year and was prescribed dyphastone tablets. Also miscarried twice during this period after six weeks of pregnancy. Both times I was spotting, was prescribed dyphastone to stop the spotting but it continued and after a week I had the miscarriage. During pregnancy my stomach bloats. Also there is an increase in my weight gain to 25 pounds. Please advise?

Question
Answer
Last Updated: June 26, 2013
I am very sorry to hear about your miscarriages. It sounds like you are having a hormonal abnormality involving your menstrual cycle. I would recommend that you have a thorough hormonal evaluation of your cycle, targeted to your time of ovulation. The most reliable way to target your time of ovulation is to chart your cycles with an NFP charting system. You can obtain information on how to do this from CANFP. A physician trained in chart interpretation and hormonal evaluation would then be able to offer you an opinion about why you are have these menstrual irregularities and miscarriages, and perhaps offer some treatment regimen to correct the problem. You may in fact be deficient in progesterone in early pregnancy. Supplementation with this hormone may help prevent future miscarriages.
