Mayo Clinic in Minnesota has been recognized as the best Gastroenterology & GI Surgery hospital in the nation for 2015-2016 by U.S. News & World Report. Lynch syndrome is an inherited condition that increases your risk of colon cancer and other cancers. Lynch syndrome has historically been known as hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC). A number of inherited syndromes can increase your risk of colon cancer, but Lynch syndrome is the most common. Doctors estimate that about 3 out of every 100 colon cancers are caused by Lynch syndrome. Families that have Lynch syndrome usually have more cases of colon cancer than would typically be expected.
Does progesterone delay your period? Hello....I'm 34 years old and in good overall health. My problem is that I am an ex-pat living in Greece, and I have had a hard time finding an OBGYN that I feel I can trust (I am on my 3rd in 3 years). My doctor has told me to take 200mg 2Xs daily from day 20 until my period begins. I have very regular cycles (to the hour) and have seen a lot of info that progesterone can delay periods (I'm taking Utrogestan). My hormone levels were fine when I had them tested last month (and have no previous problems) but I had a few periods (Oct-Nov) that were 'off'.
BEST ANSWER. My doctor does believe that there can be a link between low progesterone and miscarriage. She does not believe, however, that every pregnant woman with low progesterone levels will miscarry. I was concerned about it with my first pregnancy, and my doctor had me get progesterone shots twice a week for a few weeks during my first trimester. After that time, my body started producing more progesterone on its own, and the rest of the pregnancy was very healthy. I have a healthy, beautiful son who is nearly 1 year old.
