What Causes Irritation Along With Abdominal Cramps While Using Crinone Gel?

I am inserting 8% crinone gel daily and have been for the past two weeks. I am experiencing a lot of anger as well as cramps and acne. Is all this normal? From the list, it said at least 2 of these were rare side effects. Am I not tolerating it well? Should I ask the doctor for something else?

Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
Crinone vaginal gel is used to treat this hormone deficiency because it contains the active ingredient progesterone, which is essential for the normal functioning of the reproductive system.It is used in assisted reproduction.
It is dosed for infertility treatment at twice daily for 10 - 12 weeks.
The drug has been used to support embryo implantation and to maintain pregnancy.
Cramps takes part in common side effects while acne is an uncommon side effect.
I think that you should continue this medication and do not worry.
You should be careful and alert to the earlist manifestations of thrombotic disorders such as cerebrovascular disorders and pulmonary embolism. So, please remember: should any of these occur or be suspected, the drug should be discontinued immediately!!!

Hope this is helpful to you,
Dr. Ermira Biu
