Common Questions and Answers about Prometrium risks

prometrium

290867 tn?1333569278 I had a m/c about 5 months before that, so I believe the Prometrium helped me sustain the pregnancy. Prometrium is a progesteron supplement, the lack of progesterone can lead to m/c, so it is supposed to help with keeping the pregnancy. Like the others said, around the end of the first trimester the placenta takes over and you no longer need the supplments.
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 I have always wondered if the suppositories affect the eggs and she thinks that prometrium caps are better. Any thoughts about this ladies? This is what she ported: "My RE uses prometrium gel caps instead of progesterone inserts or shots to help with implamentation and the eggs "sticking" They said since they switched, and have started using the prometrium, their success rates have skyrocked and success rates have went through the roof!!!!
Avatar f tn What are the risks of not going back to the doctor until atleast until 12-14weeks since the last and only time I went was when I was 2-4weeks and had low progesterone levels of 18 which lowest is 10. My Doc wanted to see them in the 30's at that time so i've been on prometrium and progesterone since and have 2 refills for the next 60days after that. What if I just kept taking this until bout then and then I will have insurance?
566175 tn?1278430472 Dr suggested that I cancel this months attempt to conceive, and start taking prometrium, today, to stop these follies from growing any further. It's my choice, and i hate to waste this cycle. The dr. says i should understand the risks: A. They are concerned that i might get OHSS (ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome) and they tell me this could be deadly if i proceed. B. Multiples are a big possibility We have borderline swimmer issues anyway so it probably wouldn't even matter.
1361945 tn?1300803299 I had mine drawn at 17dpo (found out I was pregnant on 14dpo) and it was 19.9 and my nurse said that its up to me if I take the prometrium or not. Does that number sound good? So I don't know what to do for sure, maybe just take it once a day unstead of twice a day. Any advice would be appreciated!
Avatar f tn I've been doing some research on prometrium . I was prescribed prometrium since the month of Feb. In Feb.,I ovulated with the help of clomid and prometrium. My progesterone levels were 34. In March my cycle never came and I contacted my Dr on Apr. 9 letting her know I never had my cycle. She schedule me to take some test to take . On 14 my cycle visited and was very weird . her instructions for the prometrium is to take on cycle day 16 and continue to take until a cycle comes.
Avatar f tn I just found out I was 2-3weeks pregnant on June 9th and my Doctor wanted to run some tests on my levels due to the fact that I just had my IUD removed May 9th in which I had for almost 2yrs. My estogen was fine, my hcg levels were 796 and my progesterone was 18.7. My doctor told me he would rather see it in the 30's so he put me on a prescription of prometrium which is a form of progesterone in a pill I take at night and also a vaginal insert of progesterone every morning and night.
611020 tn?1290571629 Does anyone know if you'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.?
490183 tn?1361213953 Yes, Prometrium does delay your AF. First time when i was on prometrium, i didn't get my AF until CD40.
760797 tn?1303264540 I have recently been prescribed prometrium200mg 2 times a day. I'm 10dpo and af is due tomorrow. My progesterone was 13 on a non-medicated cycle. She says she likes to see the progesterone level at 20 even before a pregnancy. What is the benefit or reason behind taking the progesterone/prometrium before one is even pregnant? I'm just not a fan of taking it as I've heard it may delay af if I'm not pg. Any ideas as to why my RE wants me to take it b/4 a BFP?
Avatar f tn 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..
Avatar f tn I am supposed to stop my prometrium when I'm 10w which is this thursday, but I have read that some people have miscarried because ur body is not making enough progesterone of its own. I been trying to get preggo for almost 4 yrs and to miscarried now would be devestating. I have also heard that if ur preggo with twins which I am its good to keep taking the prometrium to minimize the chances of premature labor.
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 mine the next day, as soon as I stopped prometrium I started spotting and the next day I got my AF.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar n tn The doctor prescribed prometrium for her. She is scared to death to take the medication because it has a strong warning on the label "DO NOT TAKE IF PREGNANT OR ANTICIPATE GETTING PREGNANT. Why would the doctor prescribe prometrium if the twin is OK at this time?
1404364 tn?1289431561 m wondering though if provera is essentially the same as Prometrium? I know Prometrium is more of a natural progesterone and Provera is synthetic, but I have already done 10 days of prometrium and no period came. Ugh...so frustrating! I have not been diagnosed, but I have heard of Metformin. Of the symptoms of PCOS, the only one I have is the absense of a cycle. I will for sure ask about it...it's worth a shot!
Avatar n tn I am on 200 mg prometrium /5 mg estradiol, and metformin as well as tirosint. The prometrium and estradiol is for hot flashes. The metformin for prediabetes, couldn't get my a1c down, and tirosint for thyroid disease. My question is this...the prometrium and estradiol are causing my blood sugars to stay high, as well as make me very tired, as well as making me gain weight. I walk briskly at least 1 hour to 1 1/2 hour daily. I watch what I eat, low sugars, etc.
637951 tn?1257270344 I took Prometrium for 10 days ending Saturday, and I was wondering how long until I should begin my period? I am so ready to be able to start TTC!!
Avatar n tn I've been taking prometrium vaginally twice daily for 13 days now (started the day after my IUI) and on day 10, I started noticing a headache, a dull gnawing sensation on both sides of my head. It is day 14 of prometrium now (CD32) and I am still feeling this. If I bend over to pick up something it hurts even more.
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 Ladies were any of you were/are on Prometrium. I was on it since week 6 till week 15. I am so concerned about it leaving any effects on fetus. Does anyone know anything about it?
Avatar n tn My ob/gyn has put me on Prometrium to help regulate my menstrual cycle. My husband and I are trying to concieve our second child. With my first child I was put on prometrium for the first trimester due to low progesterone levels. This month I thought there was a chance I was pregnant and he told me instead of taking it days 16-25 I should remain on it until I know for sure if I am pregnant. I still have not gotten my period, and I am 3 days late.
495138 tn?1221217880 any other ladies on Prometrium?? I am almost 5 weeks today I've had 2 miscarriages in the last 7 months and my docotr put me on Prometrium today 100mg suppositories 2 times a day. I really hope this baby stays with me I go for my first scan on June.
Avatar f tn My dr. just put me on Prometrium 200mg at bedtime with hope to get my period. Has anyone taken this for similar reason and what was your outcome? We are trying to get pregnant.
