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'.
Many doctors feel that low or falling progesterone levels early in pregnancy are a sign of a failed pregnancy which cannot be stopped by giving progesterone supplements. When you ovulate there is an area in the ovary called corpus luteum which is responsible for the productioon of progesterone.
