611020 tn?1290571629 Does anyone know if you're taking Prometrium, and you are miscarrying, can the prometrium prevent any sign of the m/c ? i.e. can it prevent spotting/bleeding/cramping , or will the m/c go through anyway.?
Avatar f tn A little over a week ago I had a canceled IUI due to too many follicles and very high estrogen. Since then I've been taking 200mg Prometrium twice a day (to bring on my period I think). Also since then, I've had a lot of pain in my breasts. It seems to be getting a little bit better but I thought if it was related to the high estrogen it would be gone by now. It's still very much present. Did anyone ever experience this and is it normal? Thanks!
Avatar f tn I got some blood work done and this is my update. Tomorrow I will know if I am going to start on Prometrium or with something else. I just got my blood work results today and they read as follow: 10/23/2008 Test Results Units Flag Low High MT Progesterone 10.
Avatar f tn I got mine the next day, as soon as I stopped prometrium I started spotting and the next day I got my AF.
1328947 tn?1295011446 Hi There, My doc put me on progesterone two weeks ago when I first found out I was pregnant. I found it reassuring that lots of women use progesterone through the first trimester to help support the pregnancy. If your miscarriages are in fact from low progesterone then the prometrium will help. My levels were 13.8 for progesterone. Not sure how much the prometrium helps. I'm actually on something called Crinone which is taken vaginally.
419008 tn?1219536438 BUT, I am not supposed to start that regimne until AFTER I conceive. What does prometrium do and why do the docs prescribe it?
Avatar f tn I was on prometrium with my last pregnancy, and although the pregnancy didn't work out, it had nothing to do with prometrium. There are so many women on here who took it during pregnancy to have all turn out just fine. Its a pretty common thing to give us "older" expecting moms. I already have a prescription for it as I am to start taking it again as soon as I get another positve pregnancy test. As far as I know its perfectly safe to take during pregnancy.
490183 tn?1361213953 Yes, Prometrium does delay your AF. First time when i was on prometrium, i didn't get my AF until CD40.
Avatar n tn I have been on prometrium for 6 months and have found it has helped me sleep as well as with the hot flashes, I take 200mg before I go to bed. The doctor suggested I try cutting it back to 100mg but the insomnia came back so I am back on the higher dose. I now just get the odd night sweat and hardly any hot flashes during the day. It took about three weeks for it to work for me so it's probably worth sticking with.
Avatar n tn I just started taking the prometrium 200mg a day i ovulated last tuesday and did what I was told to do... how fast does this really work is my question. My husband is excited and weve been trying for 6 years and well I dont want our hopes to get up! I'm 29 years old.
212720 tn?1304375415 No it does not srop producing it! You body just does not produce enough is why they put you on it. Your body does the same on it! They can take some woman off it by 12 weeks but that is touchy for some woman. I just started mine too Miranda! Different things can effect your hormone levels each month so it can be different each month. Hey waht day is AF due for you? I am usually every 25 days but last month I was 31 days so I am not sure for me.
377493 tn?1356502149 right before work, right after work and at bedtime. As for how far in, i would try to get it as close to the cervix as possible. I used prometrium vaginally once after an IUI (and crinone in my IVF cycle), and that's what I did. And yes, I would wear a pantyliner, because it can cause some creamy, yellowy discharge. Good luck!
Avatar m tn I had a uterin fibroid embolization 2007, which pushed me into menopause i'm 51 so I guess it's time, the obgyn couldn't get my hormones straightened out so she suggest a hystorectomy, I refused and saw a endocrinologist. He got my hormones straighten out but I have totally fell apart. I am exhausted !!! all the time, ugly dark circles under my eyes (I'v always had dark circles but they are terrible now) I look weak.
Avatar f tn Anyway, I was wondering what your dr said about the prometrium helping you get preggo? I was just wondering what other uses they use prometrium for besides starting periods..
282955 tn?1394730951 hey ladies. I was just wondering about prometreum, How do I know if I need it? Cuz I realized that my temps are slowly going down around when AF is expected. This means progesterone going down? Or is this normal because the egg was not fertilized therefore progesterone goes down? How do I find out if I need prometreum? My Progesterone with clomid are around 65 to 120 at CD21 or 7DPO but then when AF aproaches, my temps slowly go down and then she comes (AF)...
Avatar f tn I have not yet received any results back from the blood work at the fertility clinic (mmm, I wonder how long it will take), and I have to go in on Christmas Eve for cycle monitoring Day 10 (fun stuff). In the meantime, because I've m/c twice in the past (which is why I'm at said fertility clinic), my Dr. told me he'll be putting me on progesterone as soon as I conceive. And I should begin taking baby aspirin right away.
151928 tn?1275707337 I can't say I feel nauseous, but it does make me feel tired and just blah.
233053 tn?1321643821 has any of you ladies used rometrium after having difficulty getting pergnant, and saw positive result? my doctor just prescribed me with prometrium, becaus ei have been trying since march 08, but have not gotten pregnant. Emotionally, i need to believe that this may actually work. I want to know if any one has a success story with Prometrium.
Avatar n tn Some get their periods anyway, but other have to stop taking prometrium before AF shows. They usually tell you to take it until you take a pregnancy test, then if positive, you'll continue to take it, and if negative, you'll stop. Best of luck!
Avatar f tn You dr is wrong and you shoudl try the suppliments first for a while then do tests if it doe snot work! Also 100mg once a day is not high enough for how low your was!! You know my first OB does not belive in progesterone and had me go to a high risk OB further away, and he said he is nuts that they have been using it since the 70's and done studies as early as 99 on it, it does work and some woman just plain ahve low progesterone. It is called a luteal ohase defect!
