Prometrium heavy bleeding

Common Questions and Answers about Prometrium 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 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?
1419228 tn?1309874052 If the bleeding gets heavy enough that you are filling a pad an hour, you need to seek emergency medical treatment, but otherwise a call to your Dr. is fine. I know it's hard not to worry, but much of the time this turns out just fine. Good luck!!
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?

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 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?
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 In any case, he prescribed Prometrium and day later I started bleeding. However, he continued testing my blood and both, my hcg and progesterone levels are increasing. He said that I'm considered pregnant. I'm as confused as one can be. Am I pregnant or not?
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 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 Fibroids and polyps are almost always benign (~99%) so hysterectomy would be overkill. And hysterectomy causes lifelong harm. I call it the surgery that keeps on giving... problem after problem... even if the ovaries are "preserved." Intercourse or pelvic exams can cause polyps to bleed. And if they aren't removed at the base, they can recur and cause heavy bleeding. What were the reasons for the D&C's - as part of the polyp removal or was your lining too thick?
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 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?
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.
898040 tn?1284036509 Hi I take prometrium which is like provera, when i take it anything and everything makes me cry! even if it's not sad or i get so angry i can feel my face get red and my blood pressure go up.
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.
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.
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??
Avatar n tn I had some spotting with him if I did heavy exercise. The dr. said I had a placental lake. I started trying to conceive again about a year and a half ago. It took 6 months to become pregnant. I lost it a 6 weeks after I saw the heartbeat. It did not attach well and there was bleeding at the attach site. This was october 2006. I had a miscarrage 2 months ago at just a few weeks. I saw some mucus tissue pass. The doctor has done several lab tests. all which are normal.
Avatar f tn My levels did not double like they wanted. I also started to spot and now bleeding heavy even though my progesterone levels are where they should be. Don't get me wrong, prometrium can help out a good pregnancy and help sustain it however if something is wrong no matter what your progesterone levels are your body will abort the pregnancy.
