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?
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.
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.
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.
A little over a week ago I had a canceled IUI due to too many follicles and very high estrogen. Since then I've been taking 200mg Prometrium twice a day (to bring on my period I think). Also since then, I've had a lot of pain in my breasts. It seems to be getting a little bit better but I thought if it was related to the high estrogen it would be gone by now. It's still very much present. Did anyone ever experience this and is it normal? Thanks!
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.
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).
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!!
Dr said could be a chemical pregnancy or we could have just miscalculated the ovulation dates. She mentioned starting me on progesterone therapy if the levels are raising. Any advice or suggestions?
ve had three losses already. Anyway I will be on prometrium from ovulation time until pregnancy is confirmed. Once pregnancy is confirmed they will switch me to a weekly injectible progesterone supplements. We see an RE because I have endometriosis ans it's hard for me to get pregnant.
iam taking clomid 50mg from 3rd day to 7th day of my cycle and from 22nd day of my cycle to 28th day iam on prometrium...my doctor asked me do pegency test on 29th day and if it is negitive she want me to stop prometrium and wait for my periods...this is what ihave done for last 2 cycles and i doing the same thing for my 3rd cycle also.......iam taking this treatment without undergoing HSG test...will there be any problem and i feel that iam not ovulating cause iam taking my BBT...evry month....

My current pregnancy I started taking prometrium in 100mg capsules 3 times a day 3 days after ovulation. I was extremely tired the whole time on it. The only thing my dr said I could do was to take a b6 vitamin at the same time. It also helped with my morning sickness. But I would have her ask her dr before she starts taking anything to help.
