Prometrium is progesterone, and therefore if you are taking prometrium, a progesterone test will read positive. Were you taking the prometrium in your vagina or by mouth? Progesterone levels of 34 (if you are in the US) are a little high to come just from prometrium alone so I would have thought you had ovulated also. In Canada and Europle, the units used are different and a progesterone of 34 could be due entirely to the prometrium if you are writing from those countries.
I get a progesterone shot once a week and take prometrium every day twice a day. It's so worth it! Hang in there.
Prometrium is to help raise the progesterone to aid in implantation of the baby. It is taken the day after Ovulation and till the period occurs. Now as it raises the progesterone it can delay your period if you are not pregnant as during the luteal phase (after ovulation) your progesterone will decrease and estrogen levels will rise talling your body to shed the uterine lining causeing yoru period to occur. When you take suppliments the progesterone stays up and may not fall till stopped.
I believe in it.
Has anyone's doctor said they're progesterone level was low & was put on Prometrium????
t come as long as I was taking the progesterone supplements. Only it did come. So I figured the progesterone clearly wasn't working and stopped taking it. But now I don't know whether my body's got things under control without the progesterone (which would be super, duper, crazy awesome)? Or if I just seriously messed things up...?
Nov 08 I was pregnant and my progesterone was very low, I started to bleed so that is why we checked the progesterone levels. They put me on prometrium and my P4 levels went up into the 30's however the outcome of that pregnancy wasn't very good. There have been lots of women with low progesterone levels put on supplements and have carried to term though. Prometrium won't keep you from m/c but will delay it sometimes.
I always get tender breasts after ovulation when progesterone goes up. Prometrium is a synthetic progesterone, so that can cause breast tenderness in and of itself...and then, if you ovulated, the follicles you had will produce progesterone, as well...so the levels are most probably much higher for you this cycle than normal. It should subside at the end of the cycle.
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..
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 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.
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.
Prometrium is the same progesterone as that which the ovary makes - so it is 'natural'. It is probably safe to take throughout the first trimester. There are some researchers who believe that there might be a very small increase in the risk of a birth defect in boy babies called hypospadias - with hypospadias the urethral opening is on the underside of the penis rather than at the tip or end.
I started progesterone (but not prometrium) a few cycles ago 'cause my luteal phase was too short. The progesterone lengthened my luteal phase from 9 days to 13-14 when AF starts, and then I stop the progesterone. I'm not sure if prometrium and the progesterone I'm taking work differently ?? I'm not sure why you would be bleeding so much, but again I'm not familiar with the progesterone you're taking. I would ask your doctor what he/she thinks. Good luck to you !
