prometrium birth defects

(Category B, which means that there is no known association with birth defects or other pregnancy-related complication and the drug is probably safe.) Pregnancy- category B.

Prometrium (human progesterone) sustains a pregnancy - my husband (a pharmacist) said in his professional opinion, he has never heard of prometrium causing any birth defects. I took progesterone for almost 13 weeks after conceiving my baby and he was just fine as many others have on this forum. I wouldn't worry about it and let me add a big congrats on your pregnancy!!

your doctor is correct. Prometrium COULD cause birth defects. I was told to take it from weeks 10 through 13. I miscarried at 15 weeks and 6w4d (I have no living children) so my fertility specialist & OBGyn. thought that as a precaution I should be on it to help my body transfer from producing it naturally to having the placenta take over. (They thought that is what may have caused my 1st miscarriage). Prometrium is one of the most misused and abused medications during pregnancy.

Definitely have given me hope!!! Any known birth defects???

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.

Enclosed in my box of progesterone is a warning to not take if pregnant because of possible birth defects. (to the genital area of both boys and girls). This concerns me because I've been taking progesterone and I'm told by my Dr to continue into my 2nd trimester. Anyone know anything about this??? I see my Dr tomorrow and I will ask and let you all know what he says....

Teratogen exposure in the 1st trimester can be linked to congenital birth defects.

How does birth defects happen is it in the family blood? Or what you eat or if you get hurt? I'm suppose to have my very first baby check up Aug 1 I'm 7weeks tomorrow and I just don't want nothing happening to my baby I'm scared to death I'm pretty sure it's to early to determine the baby has birth defects since I'm not to far along but I'll be 13 weeks when I see the doctor.

Ladies im really concerned and cant get excited because im scared ive caused birth defects to my baby. Before I knew I was taking chinese herbs and also had a typhoid inj as I was goin to bali. I stopped the herbs at 4 weeks but wudda been after implantation. I had the vax the day before ovulation but heard the vax stays in ur system for 14 days. Anyone else worried about medications they been taking or have any advice? I just cry and cant b happy.

Her surgerian told me whenever i was to get pregnant again i had to drink a higher dosis of folic acid to prevent birth defects, my ob prescribed me folic acid in pills which i have to take 4 of them every day im not taking no vitamins since he didnt prescribed none to me. I have to say im really concern about this pregnancy im so worried. Idk if any of you ladies had gone through something similar to this.

Yeah, milk is definitely not necessary for anyone to drink. If you're worried about calcium Google "foods high in calcium" and you'll see many other options. As the ladies said above, soda isn't necessarily going to cause birth defects, but high sugar intake is not nourishing for mom or baby. I looked it up once and 4gms of sugar is about 1 tsp so one can of Mountain Dew, with 46gms of sug has ELEVEN teaspoons of sugar in it. One can! It's crazy!

In addition, some forms of synthetic progesterone are known to cause birth defects and others may be toxic to the fetus. With Crinone 8%, women can be assured that they are receiving natural progesterone supplementation that is safe for them as well as their developing baby.

I mentioned that estradiol says it can cause birth defects and to not take it if you become pregnant. She said I was ok because my levels were low to begin with. Well, I found out today (after calling to check a second time) that she has "left" the fertility clinic. Now I'm worried. I don't know that I should be but DH has been flipping out about me taking the meds, and now I'm worried that she was wrong and I'm harming my baby somehow.

In other words, were the percentages of birth defects the same in those taking the drug and those not taking it? Does anyone know? I'm supposed to start it tonight but now I'm worried.

My first cghild was born with a birth defects does that mean the one im carrying gone to come out with the same??

I can see no connection between your taking Bendectin and your Daughter now having Breast Cancer since birth defects were at the time the main concern regarding the drug rather than far reaching complications. For your information in case you were not aware the drug has been approved by the FDA and is returning under a different name after being discontinued some 30 years ago.

Have any of you ladies ate mcdonalds during your pregnancy and your baby came out fine? I'm hearing about mcdonalds having ingredients in their food that can give your baby birth defects /: and I loveee mcdonalds especially their Mcdoubles Fries & egg Mcmuffins. Is this truee?

There is VERY little evidence that the hormones in the birth control pill will cause birth defects. The birth defect hype came from the drugs that were given to women who were ALREADY pregnant, to stop miscarriages. Don't stop taking the pill until a pregnancy is confirmed. It will not damage the zygote.

you would have to have an u/s and tests done through out the pregnancy to keep an eye on the baby. but there are higher odds of the baby having birth defects if its parents are blood related than if they were not blood related.

Is my baby going to have any birth defects if I am three weeks pregnant today but got my depo shot 2 weeks ago.???

I am on 200 mg prometrium /5 mg estradiol, and metformin as well as tirosint. The prometrium and estradiol is for hot flashes. The metformin for prediabetes, couldn't get my a1c down, and tirosint for thyroid disease. My question is this...the prometrium and estradiol are causing my blood sugars to stay high, as well as make me very tired, as well as making me gain weight. I walk briskly at least 1 hour to 1 1/2 hour daily. I watch what I eat, low sugars, etc.
