prometrium micronized progesterone

Estrogen should not be taken without a progestogen or you're at risk for proliferation of the uterine lining which can cause hyperplasia or cancer. Have you tried various formulations of progestins? Have you tried micronized progesterone (brand name Prometrium)? There's also a vaginal progestogen called Crinone that is mainly used to maintain pregnancy. It may be an option to cycle less frequently than monthly. You could discuss it with your doctor.

In my connections with other women on HRT, it seems bleeding is more apt to happen when they take micronized progesterone (e.g. Prometrium) versus one of the progestins. In this case, it may be better to "cycle" HRT versus taking it continuously. That would entail stopping the progesterone or progestin every so often (monthly , quarterly) which would force a bleed and keep your lining thinned out.

Maybe I will ask him to add prometrium in addition to crinone. Originally he had prescribed only prometrium but it was a vaginal suppository. I did not know you can get those in pills, maybe I should ask for that ita17 - Thank you for sharing, I am glad it is working. As I had a failed IVF, I am trying to analyze every aspect so that I have a success next time.

Prometrium is progesterone, and therefore if you are taking prometrium, a progesterone test will read positive. Were you taking the prometrium in your vagina or by mouth? Progesterone levels of 34 (if you are in the US) are a little high to come just from prometrium alone so I would have thought you had ovulated also. In Canada and Europle, the units used are different and a progesterone of 34 could be due entirely to the prometrium if you are writing from those countries.

My wife has PCOS and a very short luteal phase (~5 days). They prescribed her micronized progesterone suppositories (200mg, bd) during the first trimester. But we found a few articles indicating prenatal exposure to progesterone may have a significant effect in the baby's long term sexual behavior/development. Here are the ones we found: In Humans: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28374065/ In Animals: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-78976-x https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.

I get a progesterone shot once a week and take prometrium every day twice a day. It's so worth it! Hang in there.

Prometrium is to help raise the progesterone to aid in implantation of the baby. It is taken the day after Ovulation and till the period occurs. Now as it raises the progesterone it can delay your period if you are not pregnant as during the luteal phase (after ovulation) your progesterone will decrease and estrogen levels will rise talling your body to shed the uterine lining causeing yoru period to occur. When you take suppliments the progesterone stays up and may not fall till stopped.

My beloved doctor left her practice about a year ago. Her replacement is unsatisfactory to me. In Oct. of this year I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism & anemia. I have been taking levothyroxine for well over two months and am still having hypo symptoms, such as hair loss, brain fog, slight weight gain, reduced energy levels, heavy & prolonged periods, despite now normal TSH levels & improved iron levels. My Free T3 level remains low - those numbers haven't even budged!

I believe in it.

Has anyone's doctor said they're progesterone level was low & was put on Prometrium????

I would have asked my doc these questions but I thought that it was the same a plain progesterone which I have taken before. Also for the Poll If you took prometrium and it helped you conceive did you get a boy or a girl!! We are using shettles method to sway for a boy. We have 2 girls.

t come as long as I was taking the progesterone supplements. Only it did come. So I figured the progesterone clearly wasn't working and stopped taking it. But now I don't know whether my body's got things under control without the progesterone (which would be super, duper, crazy awesome)? Or if I just seriously messed things up...?

Nov 08 I was pregnant and my progesterone was very low, I started to bleed so that is why we checked the progesterone levels. They put me on prometrium and my P4 levels went up into the 30's however the outcome of that pregnancy wasn't very good. There have been lots of women with low progesterone levels put on supplements and have carried to term though. Prometrium won't keep you from m/c but will delay it sometimes.

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.

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.

I always get tender breasts after ovulation when progesterone goes up. Prometrium is a synthetic progesterone, so that can cause breast tenderness in and of itself...and then, if you ovulated, the follicles you had will produce progesterone, as well...so the levels are most probably much higher for you this cycle than normal. It should subside at the end of the cycle.

I was in prometrium 200mg once a day with my 3rd pregnancy..and still i m/c at 17&1/2 weeks.. and i stopped taking the prometrium at my 15&1/2weeks( i should only take them for 12 weeks, but my dr told me to continued the left pills..) still don't know the reason why,, if it's bec. i stopped taking the progesterone supplement or there is some thing else..

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.

Hi Nolta, I had a progesterone level of 13.8 at the beginning of this pregnancy. They wanted it to be above 20. I was put on crinone natural progesterone for a few weeks and then I was switched to prometrium. I'm finishing up my 13th week and will no longer have to take it. It supplements the progesterone levels until the placenta takes over. It's pretty common and luckily the supplemental progesterone can help. Also, I had some side cramping like you are describing early on too.

They only took my progesterone levels once after I started the Prometrium to make sure it was theraputic and it was in the 20's don't remember exactly. But they haven't taken it again. But I've had 4 ultrasounds where we have seen baby's heartbeat and everything is well.

I went through an ovulation induction cycle and was put on prometrium (progesterone) to support a healthy lining. I am now 20 days past ovulation, no period, and three negative home pregnancy tests (it is now day 33 of my cycle and I am typically a 28 day cycle, like clockwork). I talked to the doctor today who told me to stop the prometrium and I should expect my period in 2-3 days.

I have had 3 past m/c, but 3 healthy children since the last one. I found out Thurs. I was pregnant. I called my ob. He started me on Prometrium 200 mg vaginally per day. I started that Friday night. Sat. afternoon I had some brown spotting. Was checked at ER and everything ok. hcg was 17-they said was very early.They also checked my progesterone level. Sat. night late had heavier red bleeding like period. Went back to ER they said was m/c most likely.

Your progesterone numbers look great! so I doubt that you would need it.. most of the time low progesterone or luteal phase defect would show up on cd21 bloodwork, and have a short luteal phase.. i had spotting starting around 10dpo when my progesterone was low... you can buy progesterone cream otc, but not prometrium that i'm aware of! those are great numbers though! good luck!

Prometrium is the same progesterone as that which the ovary makes - so it is 'natural'. It is probably safe to take throughout the first trimester. There are some researchers who believe that there might be a very small increase in the risk of a birth defect in boy babies called hypospadias - with hypospadias the urethral opening is on the underside of the penis rather than at the tip or end.
