Common Questions and Answers about Prometrium and cervical mucus

prometrium

Avatar n tn Ok so you found out you were not O'ing by the blood test? Did you have any signs of O'ing? Like eggwhite cervical mucus, cervical postition, positive OPK's, or ovulation pain or raised temps? I was wondering cuz I want to make sure I am O'ing. Do you know what signs there are to see if your progesterone is low besides the blood test?
1319297 tn?1274794630 s and am hypothyroid) And it was able to help my body get my progesterone level back to normal. I had tried progesterone cream, then Prometrium, and then progesterone suppositories, but nothing worked. I kept getting progesterone levels around 4 or 5 at 7DPO. But the month I added maca (& took Prometrium, too), at 7DPO it was 17.5! I highly recommend it! It's an adaptogen so it gives you the right amount of whatever you need to balance hormones and help the thyroid to function optimally.
538174 tn?1234725096 m 5 weeks pregnant and ive had a lot of discharge too, and i researched it on the internet and its caused by high levels of progesterone which supports early pregnancy until the umbilical cord is formed, so im taking this as s positive sign!
325477 tn?1250551309 BabyBlue is correct, clomid does not kill sperm, but it can create hostile cervical mucus...and the sperm needs fertile cervical mucus to survive. I just did one cycle of clomid last month, and decided not to take it again for that exact reason. I guess it affects cervical mucus in about 1/3 of users. However, if you do IUIs, it doesn't really matter, since the sperm will then be injected straight into your uterus, and thereby bypassing the cervix (and cervical mucus).
377493 tn?1356502149 s to help loosen and thin cervical mucus (since Robitussin is an expectorant usually used to clear sinus mucus, but it also works "down below"! :)) Taking Clomid can make "hostile cervical mucus" which is actually too thick for the sperm to penetrate the cervix, thus preventing conception. I feel like a walking drug store with all of the stuff I was (and am now) taking just to carry a baby to term.
377493 tn?1356502149 A girl I used to work with had fertility issues and I remember her saying "hostile mucus". She did IUI and got pregnant that way. :( I can't wait until the 26th so that we can get things movin!!
Avatar f tn I have been using OPKs and they have not shown a LH surge but I think I have noticed changes in my cervical mucus. Could I have ovulated and it just didn't show on the OPK? I was also cramping something fierce on day 16. Is this common on clomid? It seems like such a long time to start getting cramps this late having finished the pills on day 9. I also feel dull and sharp constant pains in my left side which feel an awful lot like an ovarian cyst.
Avatar n tn I saw some mucus tissue pass. The doctor has done several lab tests. all which are normal. He suggests clomid and prometrium pills. I am apprehensive about progesterone pills and birth defects. These pregnancys are by the same father. Do you have any suggestions? Does this form of treatment sound like the next step? My doctor is a obgyn.
Avatar n tn Progesterone makes the cervical mucuous thick and impenetrable to sperm, and changes the lining of the uterus to allow the fertilized egg to implant. I am concerned that starting progesterone on day 12 is too early, since most women ovulate on or about day 14-16. I am worried that, just when we want the cervical mucuous to be easiest for sperm to swim through, we will be making things more difficult. Also, if we start too soon your uterine lining will be out of sync.
Avatar f tn I understand what signs and symptoms to look for, I check my cervical mucus daily, and I take my basal body temperature at the same time every morning. According to what I've read, it is normal for a woman to go through a "dry" spell just after her period. As she gets closer to ovulation, her mucus should become "egg-white" in consistency. I also understand that all women are different and will therefore experience their cycles differently.
1122415 tn?1264822566 I was also on estradiol to help with my cervical mucus which Clomid tends to dry up. I was also on prometrium to make sure baby had a nice lining to implant into. Is your doctor going to monitor you with labwork and ultrasounds to ensure Clomid is working for you? You can test for preg the first day of a missed period. Clomid works great for some women and not at all for others. Do not be disappointed if it takes time.
1108951 tn?1258618690 t thin your uterine lining and dry out cervical mucus. also - there are far less side effects than on clomid. it's hard to tell when you will ovulate. its a good idea to start taking opks on cd 8. if i take femara cd 3 - 7 i usually ovulate around cd 12 or 13. if i take it cd 5 - 9 then its usually around cd 15 or 16. good luck!
8197902 tn?1408058802 I had my daughter at 25 weeks, she was 2 pounds even, and is turning 6 in a couple of weeks. I prayed and had faith, and everything was fine. I was on strict bed rest and had a Cervical Cerclage at 16 weeks. Back then they didn't have all of these progesterone pills and vaginal inserts like you have. All will work out.
1129232 tn?1360800358 then this morning i had a HUGE glob of stretchy cervical mucus tinged with blood. (sorry if TMI). I then did an OPK this afternoon and it was negative. I mean REALLY negative - just a hint of a 2nd line if that. Has anyone had this happen before? i haven't seen any more CM since that glob this morning. do you think this means ovulation? it seem so early and why would I have CM like that if I'm not ovulating for maybe 5 more days? i guess I'll just start bding (just in case) anyway.
Avatar f tn I did some exercising Saturday and I got the cervical mucus Sunday and have had it since. Why is my period late and why do I have a lot of cervical mucus? I even have had period symptoms. Please Help!
404837 tn?1290609027 Cervical mucus is described as "hostile" when it is too thick to allow sperm to penetrate the cervix, thereby preventing conception. Women who are taking Clomid to induce ovulation frequently experience hostile mucus.
974298 tn?1324833193 I have been taking EPO for the past 4 months and only the first month I notice an increase in egg white cervical mucus, but since nothing and I am taking the regular dose that I used the very first month.
Avatar n tn Thank you so much I did get it last time I was pregnant and my bbs were really really tender and swollen the last time June/2008 and they never went down after my m/c :) I will wait and see I will test on saturday making it a Cupid Day adn maybe he brought me a baset of love. I will be excited but scared to get excited just as I was 8-weeks when I had my m/c.. I do appreciate the feed back and will keep all updated. GOOD LUCK WITH ALL BFPS'!!
Avatar f tn What should my cervical mucus look like in the first weeks of pregnancy? My husband and I are ttc and I ovulated on June 29,30th and July 1st. I'm 8 dpo and I have swollen and sore breasts and I've been peeing much more frequently the past 2 days. My cervical mucus is a whiteish color and the consistency is creamy/stringy. I've never been pregnant before so not sure what to look for.
1875504 tn?1321793788 ok i asked questions the last few days, and i have another one. ive been experiencing little symptoms here and there like a "tugging" feeling or pressure in my uterus area. and then i had a white discharge yesterday. how long is the white discharge suppose to last to signify pregnancy? because i dont have it today. so does that mean id be getting my period soon?
Avatar f tn what does it mean when your cervical mucus is like a strechy clear thats sort of resembles like an egg white from an egg
365429 tn?1390253309 ) On this forum they call it EWCM which means egg white cervical mucus. Goodl luck, hope you find all the info you need.
