My ob/gyn has put me on Prometrium to help regulate my menstrual cycle. My husband and I are trying to concieve our second child. With my first child I was put on prometrium for the first trimester due to low progesterone levels. This month I thought there was a chance I was pregnant and he told me instead of taking it days 16-25 I should remain on it until I know for sure if I am pregnant. I still have not gotten my period, and I am 3 days late.
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.
They said since they switched, and have started using the prometrium, their success rates have skyrocked and success rates have went through the roof!!!! I also take estrace 10mg a day and a baby asprin to help thicken the uterus.
i have almost the same pregnancy history as you I had to pregnancies (although one was premature) then a miscarriage at 12 weeks, and got pregnant again and my doctor put my on prometrium, but he kept me on till about 12 or 13 weeks to get past were I was when I miscarried. i don't know when it is safe to come off, but if your worried talk with your Dr about your concerns. I know it was easier for me coming off after the first trimester.
Congrats on your pregnancy! (and sorry for all your losses)
The problem is he only prescribed 10 days of prometrium so even if I wanted to I cannot continue taking it. This is very frustrating as I have mentioned my concerns many times to him. Also I am in Ottawa, Canada, and there is only one fertility clinic which it took about a year for me to get into, so I unfortunately don't have alot of options.
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.
Wow, finally someone in the same situation as I AM... 2 years ago during my previous marriage I had a Novasure ablation and a Tubaligation. I am now in a new relationship where we both want a child together. I have seen a DR. that is really positive and is willing to help us out. Since my ablation I have not had a period. I had spotting once about 2 months ago but, nothing since. So my RE put me on Provera 10mg just yesterday to take for 7days. I believe it is to help me start my period.
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.
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..
I am so nervous that I am having another miscarriage and was just curious if you have had any luck since then. Is it possible to spot and have a healthy pregnancy while you are on prometrium? Any feedback would help. Thanks!
The pattern was the same in all three case, lower progesterone levels. After the first miscarriage , I was asked to take baby aspirin and prometrium with the subsequent pregnancy. I anyway miscarried. I was referred to a reproductive endocrinologist. He checked for genetic disorders in both me and my husband. He did the clomid challenge test , checked for abnormalities in the uterine wall , checked thyroid level , blood sugar. Everything came back normal.
I was on prometrium with my last pregnancy, and although the pregnancy didn't work out, it had nothing to do with prometrium. There are so many women on here who took it during pregnancy to have all turn out just fine. Its a pretty common thing to give us "older" expecting moms. I already have a prescription for it as I am to start taking it again as soon as I get another positve pregnancy test. As far as I know its perfectly safe to take during pregnancy.
I am currently 6 weeks pregnant and my doctor prescribed prometrium 200mg and and I have been cutting open the pill and taking the medicine that way because I can not swallow pills, so I want to know if the medication is still working in my body?
