Prometrium breakthrough bleeding

Common Questions and Answers about Prometrium breakthrough bleeding

prometrium

Avatar f tn My family doc gave me a prescription for Prometrium (200 mgs) because I was terrified of taking the Provera again due to side effects and heavy bleeding. Any information on how one feels while taking Prometrium (vs Provera) and whether it works to bring on a flow but, not a flood? I'm confused and cannot get my OBGYN by phone or even and appointment to talk to her. Any help would be much appreciated.

611020 tn?1290571629 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 n tn Sunday afternoon had cramping and bleeding. Did not take Prometrium the night before due to being told I was having m/c. I called my OB Sunday. He said to keep taking the Prometrium and have my hcg rechecked Monday. I did. Monday my hcg was 44. My bleeding was only light spotting by then. My Doctor said I was still pregnant-could be tubal, molar, or normal. He did not know. He said Progesterone levels taken previous Saturday would tell if it was tubal or molar.
Avatar f tn I am breakthrough bleeding during week 2 of birth control pills. Should I stop this pack and if yes, when do I start the new pack?
Avatar f tn Has anyone experienced breakthrough bleeding at 8 weeks and then stayed pregnant?
Avatar f tn Breakthrough bleeding also depended on other factors like dose, potency, and activity of the particular progestin in the combined OC as well as the ratio of the estrogen and progestin in the formulation and other factors like missed pills and smoking. So this bleeding that you are having is breakthrough bleeding, but it is important to find out whether it is due to switching the contraceptive pills or due to pregnancy.
Avatar f tn For the first 3 months I had thrush exactly a week before I was due on every month as well as breakthrough bleeding. That went by the 4th month but the breakthrough bleeding still happened. It started slowly going so I thought finally I was getting somewhere but its suddenly increased again. The doctors are now putting me on a new pill called Gedarel which contains 30 mg ethinylestradiol and 150mg desogestrel.
Avatar f tn Has any one taken Prometrium for abnormal bleeding? and if so did this medicine really works??.Thanks for any advice, it's very much appreciated.
887196 tn?1267555107 I had been chartign for 6 months and never had a temp increase after ovulation and my luteal phase was never longer than 8-9 days. I also had breakthrough bleeding/spotting for several days before AF, and AF was very heavy, long, and painful. After doing a lot of research, I felt fairly confident that progesterone was the culprit, and I started using an OTC progesterone cream after ovulation. I got pregnant that same cycle.
Avatar n tn s something call breakthrough bleeding, that usually happens in the 1st trimester. Got an u/s and my baby/me is okay. But still see your Dr to be safe, and get that security.
Avatar f tn My progesterone dropped during my 4th week of pregnancy and the doctor prescribed prometrium. I am currently experiencing brief but horrible cramping accompanied with some minor bleeding. I've read the prescription information pamphlet over and over, and that is apparently a side effect. But with my history...I just need to know if anyone else experienced the same while taking Prometrium but still was able to have a healthy baby.
Avatar f tn *I tried posting this in the pregnancy 21-34 community but didn't get much feedback, wasn't sure if this is a better place to post this question* I would appreciate any feedback. Very quickly, since I went off the pill in August 2007, I suffered a m/c in December. On 4/14 AF came on time (for the first time might I add) so I figured maybe my cycle will be regular. Well it was from 4/14-4/18 and pretty much consisted of heavy spotting and barely any cramping (unusual for me).
Avatar m tn While taking Prometrium for luteal phase defect, I got several faint positives on home pregnancy tests. But then I began bleeding (light but steady full flow). So I stopped taking the prometrium. I've been bleeding for a few days now--still more than spotting though less than before. But I decided to take another home pregnancy test anyways because something felt funny. Two different brands of test were positive, darker than before but still quite faint. What do I do now?
Avatar n tn Thanks for your response doctor, I am 5 weeks 3 days now, I am seeing spotting/bleeding on and off since 2 days(sometimes pinkish,sometimes red). I know that it is possible as implantition bleeding, but is it also possible because of prometrium ?
Avatar f tn I started taking prometrium as soon as I found out I was pregnant because I was bleeding. I was bleeding a lot during the first 14 weeks of my pregnancy, going every week to get an ultrasound to see if the baby was still alive. My son was born at full term, with an aortic valve stenosis. He had the first procedure at 17 days old and he will need a new valve as soon as they can do the surgery. He is 7 years old now.
Avatar n tn i have also read that prometrium should be taken 2 weeks before the start of bleeding.....i am having this SAME problem and I am 50 so i would love to know if you ever got your answer cleared up.
Avatar f tn Also, is anyone taking Prometrium orally? What dose are you taking and what time of day do you take it? Are you worried about any side effects it may have on the baby?
419008 tn?1219536438 Anyway, I had started prometrium 100mg 2x a day 5 dpo. Since BFN this month I am wondering if the prometrium will have screwed things up for next month? Doesn't it prevent o? I stopped taking it last nite, but I hope that its not to late and I'll still be able to get a BFP next month.
Avatar f tn I have been on lo loestrin fe for the past 4 months. This past month I had breakthrough bleeding. I've been told that breakthrough bleeding means that I am not protected anymore, but does that mean that my pills were not working for the entire month prior to breakthrough or just the time after that? Could I have gotten pregnant before breakthrough even if I had taken pills regularly? Thanks so much!
175665 tn?1306459024 Is anyone here on Prometrium now or used it in the past? I have had 6 miscarriages in the past, most recent one was twins Christmas Day. I just got a BFP Saturday night and went and had my 1st Beta drawn this morning as well as my progesterone level. Well we are expecting horrible weather, ice and up to 20 inches of snow, so my OB's office decided to close at 2:30 this afternoon and for will be closed tomorrow, possible the rest of the week.
490183 tn?1361213953 Ok, so I'm CD32 today, pretty sure I'm not prego, and 1 day past AF's arrival. I didn't stop my Prometrium, which I started taking 3DPO, just in case I AM prego. I figured I'd stop as soon as AF showed. Since this is my first round of Prometrium, I need to know if it will STOP AF from coming. Or, will it add a couple days to AF's arrival??
Avatar n tn At 4 weeks it's possible it's breakthrough bleeding from your period. I bled for a few days at exactly 4 weeks with both of my pregnancies because of breakthrough bleeding, but it was fine. The only time spotting turned out to mean I had a problem was when I spotted at 11 weeks.
Avatar f tn I did not get periods for 2 months but I was getting some kind of bleeding every now and then. My gynac suggested me to take prometrium for 10 days after seeing a follicle. Its been 7 days now that i have stopped prometrium but still no periods. I have take HPT too in the past week and both the tests are negative. I am confused if I am pregnant or not Could some one suggest me here any solution. Also, when should we take the HPT once we stop prometrium.
5211509 tn?1365183005 I assume that I am done with my period and am now just going through breakthrough bleeding. I am 17 years old. How long will breakthrough bleeding go on? Should I take anything to counteract becoming anemic? Is there a way to stop BTB? I'm weary of not being able to be intimate with my boyfriend of almost 2 years. And the constant bleeding and cramping is just annoying anyway.
Avatar f tn I’ve taken 4 pills since the mishap and yesterday started experiencing breakthrough bleeding and agonising cramps!! Is this a ‘period’? Should I continue with the rest of the packet and have my 7 day break at the end like normal? I had sex on the Tues+Thurs after the missed pills, what are the chances I could fall pregnant from that? Thanks!
Avatar m tn Could someone infected by HIV experience breakthrough vaginal bleeding while on the pill? This is in combination to slight chest pains, nausea and weight loss. These symptoms occurred about nine months after possible exposure to the virus.
Avatar n tn It is common to have irregular vaginal bleeding or breakthrough bleeding while on Levlen between your periods. Irregular vaginal bleeding may stop after your body has adjusted to LEVLEN which may be after about 3 cycles.Brevicon can also cause breakthrough bleeding. Illness, medication, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal changes, stress or rapid variations in weight, disorders affecting the thyroid gland all can lead to irregular menstrual cycles. Take a balanced diet and a healthy meal.
