My RE prescribed prometrium vaginally as well, and when I picked it up at the pharmacy and noticed it's the same as the oral capsules, I asked the pharmacists about it. She said it's totally normal to use it as a suppository. I also had no problems with it coming back out, as I took it right before bed, so it had all night to absorb (then some would come out as I got up in the morning (used a pantyliner)...sorry TMI).
Just to comment about the prometrium it is great however please don't get the wrong idea. If you are going to miscarry you will and prometrium won't always work. I'm on 100mg prometrium 2x's day, additional folic acid, prenatal, 80mg baby asprin. I'm currently going through my 8th m/c with no live births. My last blood work showed my progesterone level at 59 and my beta 430. I was 4wks 5 days.
I had 2 miscarriages in the past and with this one i went on prometrium and baby aspirin although nothing was ever diagnosed either. i did not experience any bleeding as a side effect of the prometrium though. have you had a scan yet?
I had an IUI a few weeks ago and then started taking prometrium for ten days. I finished up last Wednesday so it has been 5 days. How long until I should expect my period after my last prometrium?
I have never engaged in any sexual activities and do not understand how I got this disease. I took Prometrium in the past to regulate my menstruate cycle. I did some research on this drug and one of side effects for this drug is Herpes. Is it possible this medicine could cause a false positive or a positive blood results for Herpes Type 2?
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.
Has any one taken Prometrium for abnormal bleeding? and if so did this medicine really works??.Thanks for any advice, it's very much appreciated.
I have had a migraine every day starting at around noon and lasting until I go to bed. I took prometrium prior to pregnancy for period induction which i took for 10 days and i would get a "withdrawl" migraine for a day or two. Have any of you ladies experienced this? I'm really getting sick of taking tylenol every 4 hours but my head throbs so bad i can't see straight if i don't. I called my doc today and of course he's out of the office.
I know I take prometrium and will throughout the entire first trimester. I asked about just stopping meds, especially after a history of loss. It was sort of complicated, but the general gist of it was that by that time the placenta and normal body hormones are strong enough to sustain it. Its the first few weeks that we sometimes need a bit of help. You have a nice strong heartbeat, so that is a really great sign. Things are obviously progressing the way they should.
They only took my progesterone levels once after I started the Prometrium to make sure it was theraputic and it was in the 20's don't remember exactly. But they haven't taken it again. But I've had 4 ultrasounds where we have seen baby's heartbeat and everything is well.
She has miscarried several times and the progesterone is supposed to help prevent another one. Her dr is taking her off of it next week as she will be starting her 2nd tri. I'm not sure if you have had a history of miscarriages or maybe your dr is doing it as a preventative measure. Talk to your dr make sure you understand why they want you taking it.
