Common Questions and Answers about Prometrium side effects during pregnancy

prometrium

Avatar f tn I took the vaginal prometrium from ovulation until my 10th week of pregnancy. I didn't really have any side effects from it. I had to take it twice a day, so I wore a pantyliner after the morning one to cut down on the mess. Other than that, it was a piece of cake. I'm now 16 weeks pregnant. Good luck!
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 HELP! This is my second pregnancy. My first daughter was born premature at 32w 6 days. My membranes ruptured (no cause was determined) and my daughter is now 4 and in great health. My doctor prescribed PROMETRIUM, 2 capsules to be taken intra-vaginaly, every day from week 18 to 32. I know Prometrium is primarily prescribed to women having trouble convceiving or having repeated mc.
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 n tn put me on 10 days of Prometrium. I had few side effects, fatigue, dizziness and some nausea. After the 10 days on the pill I am supposed to get my period and on day 3 of normal mentration return to the clinic for lab work to diagnose polycystic ovaries. It's been 7 days and no period yet. My breasts hurt and I'm nausous now that I'm NOT taking Prometrium. Wondering if these are normal post medication symptoms or if I might actually be pregnant.
Avatar f tn I'm on 200 mg of Progesterone 3 x a day. I'm not having the most glorious time with it...some um....irritating...side effects. It's to help your lining stay nice and thick to keep the baby from being m/c due to shedding of the lining. I've had 2 early m/c which is why they gave it to me. They told me I could go off it at 12 weeks.
Avatar f tn im 11 weeks pregnant and im sick about 3 times a day every one i talk to says sickness is a really good sign of a healthy pregnancy but i cant stand it fingers crossed it goes at 12 weeks like my last pregnancy good luck 2 you xxx
Avatar f tn I used it with 2 of my pregnancies and the oral kind with one pregnancy. I didnt have any side effects from any of them. And they are messy, I did mine at night before bed so it didnt leak out and you get the full benefits. Good luck to you.
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 ve heard that when you are pregnant, your blood vessels dilate and I wonder if my headache is related to prometrium or possible pregnancy. When I first started prometrium, I was exhausted, but I got over that in 2 days. Since then, I've had no side effects except for these headaches. Has anyone experienced this before?
Avatar f tn Studies in humans cannot rule out the possibility of harm. Therefore, Prometrium capsules should be used during pregnancy only if indicated.
147929 tn?1294851722 what do you think?? Progesterone side effects or could this be it? I was on progesterone w/DD but we got pg the first month trying (after 4 mc) so I don't have a reference point of progesterone w/o pregnancy.
1272624 tn?1395434357 HI Mel, Cramping is normal, are you taking Prometrium? I always had lots of side effects, felt preg, so I switched to Endometrin which has less side effects. My side effects with Prometrium was bloating, cramping, sore breast, etc. I think you should take two, one every 12 hours, because with only taking one, my AF does arrive, but taking two, it stays away like it is supposed to. Then you have a beta and if beta negative, you go off of progesterone and af arrives in 1-2 days.
Avatar f tn I also found that I ovulated earlier the next cycle, like my body wanted to stay on track. The side effects were hard on me. Tjimenez10- Enodometrin is much better, just started taking it back in May instead of Prometrium. A much better product for me with a lot less side effects. It did delay my cycle recently and once I got a negative BETA, I stopped taking it and 24 hours later my period started. I am now on cd 4 and will ovulate sometime after cd 10 is my guess!
Avatar f tn I'm taking prometrium (200mg) once a day at bedtime post ovulation. I should be 9 or 10 DPO. I've been taking it 9 days. I know that taking this can cause pregnancy symptoms, but my question is: does it build up and intensify as you take it day after day. Ex: my breasts are larger but the tenderness has been very mild, then disappeared, until last night. They were very sore on the sides mostly last night, but then this mornng they are tender all over.
374457 tn?1229629656 thanks everyone....i was a little nervous about taking anything...i was really hoping i could get pregnant again the old fashion way....but i guess any help is good. brown eye...congrats on your pregnancy...
Avatar n tn m getting close to the third. It was a horrible waiting game b/c the side effects of prometrium were just about the same as early pregnancy and PMS! Good luck.
325477 tn?1250551309 I haven't used prometrium yet, but am scheduled to after my IUI next week. How many mg's are yall on? I think i'm scheduled to take 200mg vag suppository at bedtime, sounds like most people are on more than that, should i ask to do it twice a day>??? Did yall have any side effects from it? Thakns and GOOD LUCK!
Avatar f tn I am a bit unsure about the provera due to some side effects? How did you find the prometrium I think its similar.
Avatar f tn low progesterone and wants me to take 200 mg of prometrium by mouth at night. I am VERY sensitive to meds and pick out all side effects...I am concerned that i will feel dizzy and that will make me panic-I know i need to take the med for the preg but, if I am dizzy I will be a complete mess-anyone out there NOT get dizzy because that is all I read about it on the internet!!!!!!!
Avatar f tn Nope. I'm guessing my lining was measured before all of the Clomid, etc and they felt like everything would go ok. Although the doc was a little 'shocked' that I told her I felt hardly any side effects with Clomid. She asked "are you sure you got a positive OPK?" and indeed I did. It was nothing for 4 days and then when it was supposed to happen, the OPK turned bright colors equally. So here's hoping.
645220 tn?1233764146 The day I started taking the progesterone I began having heartburn, headaches,nausea, bloating and bone pain.
175665 tn?1306459024 Any side effects? I am waiting on my test results and hopefully they will be open Wednesday so I can get the order and go in for my 2nd Beta as well.
399438 tn?1201614376 Hi Sorry you've been through it too. I had two miscarriages last year and im doing a test next week, good news I hope! I wasn't recommended anything? Everyone told me there is nothing to prevent it. Thanks for bringing this up, i think ill enquire about prometrium with my doc. Maybe you should talk to yours again and ask why everyone isn't told about this. if its so safe? Please read my question 'worries about missgariges', do you know anything?
