My OB/GYN gave me Progesterone (prometrium 100mg per day) to take after ovulation. I have been doing this for several months now. I recently started seeing a RE and when I told him I start the prog either 1dpo or 2 dpo, he freaked out telling me that I should not start them until 4dpo because talking starting it any earlier than 4dpo would cause me not to ovulate properly. I always start prog after I get a +opk one day and a temp increase the next day (which I count as o day).

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.
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.
Glenda is right, progesterone should be fine if you are pregnant. Many of us take prometrium through first trimester or after ovulation. False positives are uncommon, but I can tell you that the blue dye tests seem to produce them more often then the pink dye. I would see your Dr. for a blood test. I wish you luck!!
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.
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.
HI everyone I am 3 weeks pregnant and my doctor said my progesterone levels are low and prescribed Prometrium for me to take vaginally until I am 10 weeks pregnant, I am worried because I read up on the drug and there seem to be some serious side effects. Can anyone share their experiences with me?
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.
I personally would be very hesitant to start prometrium on day 12 - I think that is too early and could make things worse.
He recommends going back on clomid (5 pills a day) and taking prometrium 200 mg 2 days after ovulation. My period is now between day 28 - 35, lasts only one day and is brownish-black.
My question to you is that the ovulation strips which have always detected OV did not detect it this month or last month, did I stop OV'ing? Should I still take the prometrium? Is it time to look for another RE? What should I do next??? My clock is ticking and it's keeping me up at night.
Thank you.
s most probably the progesterone that is causing the tender breasts. 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 had 8-9 follicles but only 3 or 4 were mature. After the iui I had pretty bad ovulation pain on Weds, to the point I could hardly walk. I figured that meant I ovulated (the scan showed I was probably in the process--dr said he could tell b/c there was the fluid that is released when the follicle ruptures). The pain subsided for a bit but I've had pain similar to ovulation pain off and on since (at a lesser intensity). Does anyone know what this could be due to?
