Does CCQ 50 Cause Slight Bleeding?

Posted on Wed, 8 Jul 2015

Question: Hello .. I was trying to conceive from March 2015 but didn't get any results in those two months.In May 2015 i visited to gynaecologist and she asked me to try for 3 months more before going for any tests. And she gave me medicine CCQ 50 to take from 3rd day of cycle for the next five days...

This month before my periods start i noticed some spotting from last 3-4 days and now when my periods starts bleeding is in low quantity its not as like i used to have before taking this tablet... I had taken CCQ 50 only 5 days in May .. can it be the side effect of this tablet ? Can continue to have this tablet and also can it cause any further side effect?

Brief Answer:
Test for pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for your query.

I have read you query and I understand your concerns about reduced bleeding.

Following is my reply:

1) Sometimes if you are pregnant, implantation bleeding leads to reduced bleeding.

2) Therefore I suggest you to get pregnancy test done before going ahead with CCQ.

3) Take tablet only if pregnancy test is negative

I hope I answered you query and addressed your concerns.

Let me know if you wish to ask any further questions. I will be glad to help you.

Brief Answer:
CCQ can be taken

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

It is possible for CCQ to reduce bleeding. It is one side effect but not harmful.

It is safe to continue CCQ under guidance of doctor.

Couple need about a year to conceive. Hence your 3 to 4 months is normal.

If your cycle is 28 days, your ovulation is expected around 14 th day. Hence trying for pregnancy 2 days before and after is ideal.

I hope your doubt is cleared.
