prometrium uterine lining

Have been trying to complete FET but have cancelled twice due to uetrine lining being only 5.4 mm. Now trying a third time and uterine lining is only 4.2 mm. I am on the max dosage of estrogen, drinking red raspberry leaf tea, takin vitex and a baby aspirin every day, vitamin B complex, vitamin C and of course my prenatal vitamins. Started acupuncture last week and going for more treatments this week. Any advice, suggestions etc.. are welcome.

Either way, I would prescribe Prometrium for 10-14 days to slow down the flow of blood and stabilize the uterine lining. I would probably then watch to see if you would begin regular ovulatory cycles, which shouldn't be excessively heavy. If not, cyclic progesterone might be one option for treatment. Good luck!

I was just perscribed Prometrium for this cycle as well. Like you, I hope to have a positive result. I was prescribed Prometrium to help thicken/sustain my uterine lining as it was <7. Hope this is your month. Keep us posted.

Definitely get your hormones checked out. The hormones are what cause your uterine lining to grow and shed. So if they're a little off, it could cause that problem. Hormonal problems could also cause your weight to be high and make it near impossible for you to lose weight.

the dr started me on birth control pills to try to regulate my period then i received a call stating my uterine lining is a little thicker than usual. Can this be contributing to me being unable to conceive? I just want to know if anyone can relate. I really need some encouragment. HELP!

with the exception of the laporoscopy I have had all those tests, a ton of lab work, mock trial transfer, uterine lining biopsy, and then some. I've since lost count. I've also got the migraines, bloating, and back pain...but I'm pregnant so that's probably why. When I was taking injectibles i'd get migraines and bloating. Not quite sure what you're issue actually is, however.

Also, if we start too soon your uterine lining will be out of sync. Since there is no evidence that luteal phase defect causes miscarriages, I do not often add prometrium. When I do, I recommend that you test your urine daily with urine ovulation prediction starting on day 10 or 11, have intercourse the day the urine turns positive and the day after, and then start prometrium 3 days after the urine turns positive; this way you know that you are starting the prometrium at the correct time.

First of all, this is not uncommon to have periods that last this long. Many women experience them during perimenopause. The biggest concern on the first hand is the anemia and you've already checked that out and are fine. When bleeding doesn't stop, they will often prescribe Progesterone to stop the bleeding. It does stop the bleeding for the most part. This is usually standard treatment to stop lengthy bleeding as a "bandaid" solution.

I have LPD (luteal phase defect) and start taking my prometrium (progesterone) suppository starting 3dpo to build up my uterine lining making it possible for implantation.... (have had 5 early m/c's so far). 2 hours after I inserted my first prometrium suppository this morning I found an abundance of eggwhite cm tinged with brown/pink. Is this too early for implantation? Is this a sign of something possibly wrong?? Thanks for any info!

The only thing i worry about is my lining. the normal lining needs to be around 1cm. my lining is only .4cm. doctor still debate if she should do IUI this cycle or not. The reason: last cycle she did it just for 50/80 chance due to my lining. This cycle she doesn't want me to waste the money. Tomorrow i will go see her again to have sonogram to see how thick is my lining. If to the point she feels comfortable to do it, she will do IUI on Sat. Wish me luck.

Well those are good numbers, uterine lining of 10mm :) I also have some breast tenderness, but it's most likely from the prometrium and estrogen that I'm taking. You might have everything going against you, but that doesn't mean anything. You might get pregnant, while a 28yr won't. You can never really know.

What is a good way to thicken the uterine lining. My lining my last two cycles have been 7mm then 5mm. I was on clomid both times, and my RE has switched me to Letrozole. I'm going on vacation this month so won't start a cycle till October. I heard baby aspirin will help, but not sure if this is safe.

Hello girls :) I had my follicle ultrasound today. I think my uterine lining was an 8. Is this too thin? I was on clomid for the last 2 cycles and I'm worried about my uterine lining getting too thin.

She said that the thickness of the uterine lining is all unnecessary hype. She pointed out that with an ectopic pregnancy the egg implants in the fallopian tubes and there's no lining there at all. I thought this was interesting, but don't know how valid it really is. Good Luck!

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. That is why you are always to have a beta hCG blood draw on the 32-33 day of your cycle to see if pregnancy has taken place.

It serves to keep your uterine lining from thinning out and thus miscarrying in the event your little one is perfectly healthy. In 2-3 weeks your doctor should give you a sonogram to confirm the little one is growing and has a heartbeat. In those cases I would breathe a huge sigh of relief and enjoy your pregnancy!

Hi. Dh & I are in our 3rd year ttc. We both checked out okay, but so far, no luck. My only issue is that I have a t-shaped uterus & so my RE won't put me on meds that could increase the chance of multiples. It's too much of a risk. Anyway, this past cycle I had an u/s on cd12. My RE measured my uterine lining & I can't remember how thick it was, but she commented that it was thin, but that I had a few more days for it to thicken.

well i just went into early labor on sept. 23,2009 and unfortanatley my boys only survived for a week...but to get to the point...if you dont feel right taking them dont and ask your doctor for an alternative. Well my doctor said that other than it being common to go into early labor is common but he said i have a weak cervix so he recommands me getting a cerclage they stich ur cervix on the 3rd month that prevents going into early labor. and he says it always works.

If your progesterone gets too low, you can and will miscarry. Progesterone is necessary in keeping the uterine lining thick, and to keep your body from thinking it's time to menstruate. I had progesterone levels that kept dropping with my last pregnancy. Once I started bleeding they finally gave me progesterone supplements. But it was too late. My progesterone sky-rocketed into the hundreds whereas my HCG was already dropping (after it had previously been rising beautifully).

So yes, your wife could indeed be ovulating, but with low progesterone (which can cause a thin uterine lining), she is unlikely to sustain a pregnancy. The only true way to know if she is ovulationg is by having the combination of an ultra sound and blood work done. This is just based on my experience, but the ladies on this forum are great and am sure they can give your more insight.

The thickened endometrium is where the problem is. You probably have a build up in the uterine lining (endometrium) from irregular ovulation/menstruation. Irregular periods tend to be heavier, clottier and more painful. If my patient had these results, I would give her a 14 day course of Prometrium (natural progesterone) to clean the lining out and get rid of the excess tissue. (If she was over 35, I would suggest an endometrial biopsy first).

A bird builds a nest much like your body builds the uterine lining for the fertilized egg. If there is any excess in your "nest" your body will get rid of it. In your case, the form of bleeding. Brown blood is okay. If it becomes bright red and clotty, then you should contact your doc.

For the past 2 cycles of TTC, I have started spotting about 5-8 DPO. When it happened last month, I was sure it must be implantation bleeding, but after spotting for a few days, full blown AF showed up. Now this cycle, on 8 DPO the spotting has begun again. It's not enough to even get on my undies, just when I wipe. But when hubby and I BD'd last night, it did get on him a little too.

Is it okay to take the prometrium only every second day with regards to the risk of uterine cancer?

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.

Hi-I have been on progesterone suppositories for the last 3 months. My RE has me take them morning and night in the 2 weeks after my IUI. My lining was 7 to start-usually goes up to around 9 but I am also on prometrium. Have you been doing IUI? Were you on clomid? I guess clomid natually thins the uterine lining so my RE switched me to femara. My Walgreens didn't have the suppositories but I did get them from Target. They are not much fun but you kind of get used to them. Good luck!

So after you did IUI, you are not prescribe to help your lining with Prometrium or something like that?? Mine are also almost clear a little yellow but the pill that i insert is yellow so I know that since I started to take that pill vaginally, I started to have discarge. But because I started the pill next day after IUI, i don't know whether it is because of the pill or IUI..

I did 4 cycles of clomid and although I produced lots of great follicles it did not work for me because it thinned my uterine lining. This is a common side effect of clomid. Your doc may do a mid-cycle u/s to monitor your lining. If not, if you notice that you periods are shorter that can indicate that it is affecting your lining (mine were only 1-2 days). If that is an issue there are other drugs they can switch you to. Good luck!
