I had a hysterectomy with bilateral oophorectomy and appendectomy due to severe endometriosis which had infiltrated my ovaries and was all over my other organs as well (plus a lot of endometriosis was also removed that had adhered to my bowels, bladder, and appendix) . To help me avoid radical menopause sypmtoms, my doctor immediately started me on a .5 mg. Vivelle-dot estrogen patch after surgery, and I felt fine. Two weeks later, he added a 100 mg.
I have endometriosis and fibroyoid cyst, I've had surgury twice only due to being in pain. The first time they found severe endo with adhesions attached to my uterus and intestines, the second was only mild since it had only been 5 years since my last surgery for the endo. The surgery will give your dr the answers to help find out more concerning your uterus and remove any adhesions and cyst if they look like they can be causing some problems with you conceiving.
I took prometrium as well, and in my case it was taken orally. There are still a few side effects - made me a bit sleepy is one that comes to mind, but at least no irritation. In terms of effectiveness my RE says its no different. That might be a good alternative for you to ask your Dr. about. But as Christine says, I wouldn't reduce them or stop them without consultation. The good news is most Dr.'s will have you stop prometrium around 13 weeks.
Has anyone had a successful pregnancy having severe endo and homozygous for MTHFR C677T? I had a miscarriage (first pregnancy) at week 10 last month. I was on baby asprin and Folgard 2.2 pre-pregnancy. I started on Lovenox at week 4 of prenancy and Prometrium weeks 6-10. I've had 2 Laperoscopies for the endo. Been seeing a fertility doc for 2 years - trying to get pregers for 5 years. I'm worried I will have more M/C. Just need to know pregers is possible.
So we did and it is now around the middle kind of close to the end of july and no period or baby i went to my gyno And he put me on a pill to start my period Its called prometrium 200 mg they are the oral pills he told me to take two a day vaginally before bedtime for five days, he said the sapositories (exscuse my spelling) are more messy. Well ive been takin these pills for two days now and nothing has happend.
I was diagnosed with endometriosis during a laparoscopy to remove a uterine polyp and endometriomas thought to be causing infertility. My RE believes that I've had it for about 10 years or so (I'm 36, with no previous symptoms). We've been trying for almost 2 yrs, and I've done 3-IUI's--the last one on injections, with no success. Am I wasting my time and money on these treatments? Is there anyone out there who has has a successful pregnancy with endo?
So, I had my last ultrasound in May...do you think I should go back and get another one soon? How do they test for endometriosis? Have you also taken Metformin? My dr. gave me prometrium to induce my periods..
When I lay down to sleep I get a somewhat severe cramps, but I think it ends up being gas...is this normal? I am also wondering if anyone of you have endometriosis. My doctor told me years ago that I don't have that, but my symptoms tell me that I do. I recently looked up consecutive miscarriages and a cause was endometriosis. I know I sound a little paranoid here, but I am just worried about another miscarriage and what could possibly be going on with my body.
t offer you any advice, but I can lend support in the way of being in the same spot as you. I have also dealt with my issues (PCOS and endometriosis) since I was 17. I have been on lots of hormone medications since then, but the last 2 years have probably been the worst 2. I just came off of yet another birth control pill because I ended up in the hospital for excessive bleeding. It scared me so bad and I got to thinking, what would happen if I did end up pregnant?
I've been doing some research on prometrium . I was prescribed prometrium since the month of Feb. In Feb.,I ovulated with the help of clomid and prometrium. My progesterone levels were 34. In March my cycle never came and I contacted my Dr on Apr. 9 letting her know I never had my cycle. She schedule me to take some test to take . On 14 my cycle visited and was very weird . her instructions for the prometrium is to take on cycle day 16 and continue to take until a cycle comes.
My husband and I have been trying to conceive since September, 2008 with no baby yet. The doctors know that I have endometriosis and have tested me for P.C.O.S. but all the test results have come back that I DON'T have PCOS which is definately a blessing. However, I had a laparoscopic surgery in December of 2008 to take out any endometrial cells and ever since then, my periods have been completely irregular to non-existant.
Just seems to have went from dealing with endometriosis and PCS to all these hormone issues. Should I go back on the Prometrium and testosterone cream? At the time of my last lab work, my estrogen level dropped from 70 to 30. I'm just confused.
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 supposed to stop my prometrium when I'm 10w which is this thursday, but I have read that some people have miscarried because ur body is not making enough progesterone of its own. I been trying to get preggo for almost 4 yrs and to miscarried now would be devestating. I have also heard that if ur preggo with twins which I am its good to keep taking the prometrium to minimize the chances of premature labor.
I got mine the next day, as soon as I stopped prometrium I started spotting and the next day I got my AF.
I have had 3 past m/c, but 3 healthy children since the last one. I found out Thurs. I was pregnant. I called my ob. He started me on Prometrium 200 mg vaginally per day. I started that Friday night. Sat. afternoon I had some brown spotting. Was checked at ER and everything ok. hcg was 17-they said was very early.They also checked my progesterone level. Sat. night late had heavier red bleeding like period. Went back to ER they said was m/c most likely.
The doctor prescribed prometrium for her. She is scared to death to take the medication because it has a strong warning on the label "DO NOT TAKE IF PREGNANT OR ANTICIPATE GETTING PREGNANT. Why would the doctor prescribe prometrium if the twin is OK at this time?
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.
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.
Also, is anyone taking Prometrium orally? What dose are you taking and what time of day do you take it? Are you worried about any side effects it may have on the baby?
