Prometrium prevent miscarriage

Common Questions and Answers about Prometrium prevent miscarriage

prometrium

Avatar f tn asked me to take prometrium 200mg vaginally only after I have a positive pregnancy test. Is there any chance I could prevent miscarriage by taking prometrium starting day14, because i'm planning to become pregnant this time. Is it safe to take before becoming pregnant? My dr. told me to wait until day35, confirm pregnancy and to take prometrium. But the last two miscarriages was within 5 weeks. I could not call it as chemical pregnancy, because we saw the sac in u/s.
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.?
1262373 tn?1281543782 I conceived on prometrium 400 mg. Unfortunately it ended in mc, but I did get pregnant...the fetus was a male (I had a d&c and they tested to see what was wrong--everything was "normal")---but progesterone has nothing to do w/ conceiving a particular sex. Like pol79princess said, it's just to help prevent potential miscarriage... Good luck!
Avatar f tn Prometrium, a progesterone supplement, is sometimes prescribed during the first trimester of pregnancy in women who have had a history of miscarriages caused by low progesterone levels. The addition of prometruim during pregnancy helps ensure that the women will carry the fetus to full-term. It works by helping ensure that a placenta is fully formed thus providing the necessary lifeline for the developing fetus.
Avatar n tn I took prometrium until I was 12 weeks pregnant and thank God, it saved my pregnancy. Right now I am 18 weeks and 2 days pregnant and I am telling you Prometrium works. Check out my posts. God Bless you.
Avatar f tn I was on prometrium first 12 weeks due to high risk for miscarriage and I am now 29 weeks and feel great.
1262373 tn?1281543782 so you are saying that if I get pregnant while on the prometrium my risk of miscarriage is not going to be higher and the meds won't force a period right?
Avatar f tn t stop a miscarriage from happening if its due to chromosomal abnormalities. It will prevent a miscarriage that would have occurred due to low progesterone levels. I had to take it while pregnant with my daughter, an everything turned out fine. It sounds like you have an issue with progesterone which the prometrium will fix.
175665 tn?1306459024 ll be able to get far enough along using the Prometrium to see what is going to happen and possibly prevent a miscarriage in the event your little bean is healthy as can be! Prometrium makes me feel really dizzy. You're not supposed to drive after taking it. It can increase vaginal discharge (which it has for me), cause sore breasts, nausea, vomiting, etc. I take one 200mg pill at night. Some doctors prescribe that you take 2 a day (which is what I did my last pregnancy).
Avatar f tn What are they doing to prevent another miscarriage? Are you on Prometrium (or another progesterone supplement)? Or taking baby aspirin? There are some preventative measures to take to prevent miscarriage if it is recurrent and they know why you keep miscarrying (depending on what is going on). They need to check your HCG levels. They should double every 48-72 hours. They also need to check your progesterone.
Avatar f tn Because I had a miscarriage last year. They put me on prometrium. As soon as I found out I was pregnant. I went to get my HCG and progesteron checked. it was HCG 130 and progesterone 45.8 which is good. But they put me on it just in case. I started seeing a new doctor now and she she is sending me to a specialist for the medicine to see if I really need to keep taking the medication, because it could be harmful to a developing fetus. My appointment is Friday.
Avatar f tn T HAVE A MISCARRIAGE BUT I DELIVERED THE BABY AT FIVE MONTHS , I WAS PRESCRIBED PROMETRIUM WHEN I WAS FOUR MONTHS PREGNANT I WAS SCARED TO TAKE IT TOO. ESPECIALLY AFTER I READ ALL THE POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS I WAS LIKE OMG I REALLY DONT WANT TO TAKE THIS BUT EVERYTHING SEEMS FINE I HAVENT HAD NE SIDE EFFECTS WHAT SO EVER ACNE, WORRYING, STRESS, VOMITING, NAUSEA ETC.
Avatar f tn Many people take that med in pregnancy and if your dr tells you to take it i would absolutely take it. Most women who have low progesterone in pregnancy and do not take this med go on to miscarry or have a still birth. I have never known anyone to have problems with their baby due to taking this med. If you have low progesterone you will be at high risk for miscarriage or still birth without this medication even in the second trimester.
Avatar f tn Hi everyone. I had my first pregnancy and miscarriage on November 20. 2009, I was 2months along in my pregnancy. Is there a cure or any medications to prevent or lessen your chances of having another miscarriage? I just had one but my heart is sadden to hear people go through this 2, 3 and 4 times.
Avatar f tn 5, and my hcg more than doubled. My OB prescribed Prometrium 200mg, saying he wanted the progesterone level >20. My concern is his refusal to check my progesterone level after taking the Prometrium. He says the results would not matter, as he would not prescribe any additional progesterone, saying the body "can only absorb so much." I have a friend whose OB tested her progesterone, and prescribed 200mg Prometrium for a level of 8.
Avatar f tn d like it to be at 5 or 6 weeks so I gotta take prometrium for 12 weeks. Hopefully this will help baby nurish and prevent miscarriage.
Avatar f tn It is not a miracle cure for spotting. It will not prevent a miscarriage that might occur for much more common reasons, like a chromasome abnormality or blighted ovum, for example. Many doctor prescribe progesterone because it probably won't hurt anything, and it might help. But it will not prevent a miscarriage that could occur for most reasons. Spotting during early pregnancy is very common. Most times it goes away on its own and is not a problem, except for the worry it causes.
99627 tn?1301270952 I think your progesterone levels are increasing with pregnancy since your placenta keeps producing it. I think that high progesterone is not a problem, only low progesterone is. Ask your ob if you are concerned. Congrats again on your bfp!
Avatar f tn Do not take Prometrium if you are pregnant or have had an incomplete miscarriage. Avoid it if you have ever had a blood-clotting disorder or a stroke. Do not take Prometrium if you have a history of breast or genital cancer, heart attack, unexplained vaginal bleeding, or severe liver disease.
Avatar n tn Hi , I'm responding as you asked . I guess sometimes you can't prevent a miscarriage .but other times you can have them cause your hormones are too low and that's where the prometrium (progesterone) comes in . I guess it's not always a good thing to take it and shouldn't be taken for very long . I have heard of alot of women taking it though . My doc after my miscarriage told me that next time I'm pregnant to call right away and we can start bloodwork .
Avatar f tn I just recently had my 3rd miscarriage....A couple days before I had my hcg count and progesterone count redrawn and the progesterone went from 41 down to 16....would that be a cause for concern? My doc said it wasnt a cause for worry. I dont agree. I was on 200 mg of Prometrium for this deficiency anyways so I dont think it should have dropped.
Avatar n tn Did you end up having a miscarriage? I am on Prometrium because I have had 3 previous miscarriages. I am only 4 1/2 weeks along and started spotting last night. I am still lightly spotting brown today. I am so nervous that I am having another miscarriage and was just curious if you have had any luck since then. Is it possible to spot and have a healthy pregnancy while you are on prometrium? Any feedback would help. Thanks!
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 got pregnant in June and was told to take prometrium from week 10-13, although there is absolutely no data supporting the fact that prometrium (progesteron supplements) help maintain pregnancy or prevent a miscarriage. So, don't completely rely on the prometrium. I am 26 years old and even though my OB wanted me to wait to see if I had a 3rd miscarriage, I kind of looked at this as carnal torture!!! So, I went ahead and made an appt. with an RE.
Avatar m tn The tests include chromosome testing of you and your partner, an X-ray or saline ultrasound evaluation of your uterus, and some other blood tests for certain antibodies that may prevent adequate implantation. Try not to get too discouraged, overall the chances of getting pregnant successfully even after two miscarriages is probably more than 70%. The only thing I worry about a little bit is your age. Sorry for the miscarriages. I hope things work out!
