Prometrium for heavy bleeding

Common Questions and Answers about Prometrium for heavy 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.
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 n tn I have been bleeding for 28 days now. It has not been a heavy flow until this last weekend. Three days ago I began passing clots and having heavy bleeding. I feel worn out. I went to Kaiser and had a blood test. I am not anemic. I feel like I am not being listened to or taken seriously. They wanted me to take progesterone in heavy doses. Is this normally the only soloution? Or are they just doing their usual minimum treatment?
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 f tn I stopped the Prometrium for 10 days and MY BLEEDING STOPPED ENTIRELY so it has to be the Prometrium. I know I need progesterone as still have my uterus but am I the only one that is seeing this happen? I was told by Sott Pelle providers that a women minimally needs progesterone 14 days every third month. Can someone tell me their experience with this?
Avatar f tn Either way, I would prescribe Prometrium for 10-14 days to slow down the flow of blood and stabilize the uterine lining. I would probably then watch to see if you would begin regular ovulatory cycles, which shouldn't be excessively heavy. If not, cyclic progesterone might be one option for treatment. Good luck!

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). Then on 4/26-5/1 - same thing!! So then I went to the OBGYN, after an u/s he believed that I wasn't ovulating. So he put me on Prometrium 200mg for 12 days.
Avatar f tn Everything is going great. I am on baby aspirin a day and 200mg 2x prometrium. its working for me! progesterone does an amazing job at holding pregnancies, and the baby asprin is to thin you blood so more goes to the uterus. This can also help if you have a blood clotting issue. i have never been tested for anything but i wanted to try 1 more time first with these medicines and i believe its really helping me.
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 I never had any bleeding but my friend had some heavy bleeding and clotting around the 7 week mark. They went in to get her checked out and the baby was fine, strong heartbeat and everything.
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 taking Prometrium (extract from yams)....i have also taken Provera and didnt really like it due to side effects....
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.
Avatar n tn thank you for replying. I bled for 4 days (actualy, first day was kind of heavy and then very light). My level of hcg were 23 on Wednesday and 68 on Friday.Any thoughts ?
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 3 on june 11th the dr says that it was so low it is pos but she says it could really be neg so she tokd me to stop progesterone shots now i am bleeding is there any way i could have my # rise and still bleed probally sounds weird but i have this feeling like i should have kept taking shots even though she told me to stop i go wed for a nother test
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 Rare cases of congenital anomalities including cleft palate, cleft lip, ventricular septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, and congenital heart defects have been reported in the infants of woman using Prometrium for unapproved indications including the preventions of such outcomes. Studies in humans cannot rule out the possibility of harm. Therefore, Prometrium capsules should be used during pregnancy only if indicated.
Avatar m tn I'm 56 and not in menopause and I have no idea when it will happen. My last hormone tests show my estrogen to be decreasing - it was at level 53 but my FSH was only 4! I am trying to control my wacky and heavy bleeding with progestins with mixed results. Prometrium isn't working well and Aygestin is giving me cramps. I am considering having an endometrial ablation done which is an hour long procedure, they do a D&C, a histerscopy and the burning out the lining.
Avatar f tn On top of the miscarriages my husband and I also have difficulty conceiving because my left ovary is smaller than normal, and it took us over a year of trying each time we got pregnant. right after my miscarriage i had heavy bleeding that did not stop for 6 weeks. my dr. prescribed me a medicine that is given to women after birth to stop bleeding. a week later it finally stopped, but when i went in to my dr. he found a mass in my cervix that resembled a sac. my dr.
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?
898040 tn?1284036509 I have been crying for the past half hour..and I don't know why! My boyfriend said he was going to run and meet his dad for lunch (his dad is two hours away and they are going to meet half way) and that when he gets back the rest of the day is ours. I have been crying since then... sobbing cries. I am taking prenatals, paxil, metformin and provera. I have taken the first 3 before and never had this...so I am assuming it's the Provera?? and possibly the quitting smoking??? argh...
175665 tn?1306459024 So I called and talked to the NP on call and she talked to the on call doctor and they decided to call in a script for Prometrium to be on the safe side. I have never used this before and was just wondering from experienced users. I am not sure how far along I am yet, I m/c 5w2d ago, didn't get AF and I have no idea when I O'd because I had NO signs of it. So I know I am early in the game so this is good. Hace you had good experiences with this? Any side effects?
Avatar f tn This bleeding continued for 3 weeks straight, and I was very concerned that maybe my IUD had shifted causing the bleeding. I have experienced a heavy flow of bleeding for the entirety of those three weeks with no end in site. I visited my Gyneacologist. The ultrasound showed that my IUD is perfectly in place and is not in need of removal and reapplication. But the scan also showed a white 3cm mass on my right ovary.
Avatar f tn I just woke up with a horrible back ache and was bleeding bright red and heavy. Unfortunately, there was nothing they could do for me in the ER. My next pregnancy I started bleeding really heavily again and called my midwife the next morning. My levels were going up nicely and she called me out prometrium because my progesterone was low and dropping. I had several first trimester ultrasounds to put my mind at ease because I ended up bleeding for nearly the whole first trimester.
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??
