Progesterone above 20 is great! Your levels will fluctuate throughout the day so it is possible that the "drop" was just that your progesterone was low at that particular time of the blood draw.
There's no harm in taking the supplements (I'd do oral supplements, aka Prometrium, as opposed to suppositories since your prog. is above 20) if it helps to ease your mind. You'll have to stop taking them by week 10-12.
Well, prometrium is different than the suppositories (at least, I took Prometrium orally). I don't know if taking progesterone orally vs. suppository would make a difference in regards to yoru cycles... I would have to think not, but who knows.
Until you are able to give your doctor a call, I would call the pharmacy and ask them the side effects question, as well as your question about delaying your cycle.
I also found that I ovulated earlier the next cycle, like my body wanted to stay on track. The side effects were hard on me.
Tjimenez10- Enodometrin is much better, just started taking it back in May instead of Prometrium. A much better product for me with a lot less side effects. It did delay my cycle recently and once I got a negative BETA, I stopped taking it and 24 hours later my period started. I am now on cd 4 and will ovulate sometime after cd 10 is my guess!
Has anyones RE ever discussed possible side effects to the fetus when using progesteron supplementation? I just read the insert for the gel Crinone and it mentions possible cleft palate and abdominal wall malfunctions. My RE didn't seem to know anything about this.
What it didn't give in the insert was whether the difference between those taking Crinone and those not taking it was significant.
s a day though. It brought my progesterone up a lot and the only side effects I had was the headaches. My ended in m/c but not because of the prometrium it was because everything stopped developing probably bad egg. Good luck and I have read lots of women on here that are taking it w/out any problems.
I am also new to this and finished my first round of clomid last week. I thought I was doing okay with the side effects and they seemed to be pretty tolerable. Last night I found myself getting really frustrated with my son and then I wanted to just cry. I think the moods are starting to kick in from it. Driving to work thismorning I couldn't deal with other people on the road and was really impatient. I don't like feeling like this and it is super frustrating.
Lil Lady is correct. Progesterone is a hormone supplement, so you have to have a dr's prescription to get it. Why were you thinking about starting it? Did a doctor recommend it?
I was super dizzy and could not drive on them but it was different when I was pregnant, I never had those side effects. I am not sure how you felt with them being pregnant. I am takling 200mg 2 times a day maybe they need to up yours! What mg are you taking?? That is not a good level at all. From what I was told by my RE he said it should be over 30 when you are pregnant. I would tell the dr to give you a higher dose or shots if it does not come up! Take no chances with that!!!
put me on 10 days of Prometrium. I had few side effects, fatigue, dizziness and some nausea. After the 10 days on the pill I am supposed to get my period and on day 3 of normal mentration return to the clinic for lab work to diagnose polycystic ovaries. It's been 7 days and no period yet. My breasts hurt and I'm nausous now that I'm NOT taking Prometrium. Wondering if these are normal post medication symptoms or if I might actually be pregnant.
Which I understand is a form of progesterone. After seeing a fertility doctor I learn that there are many side effects to the fetus. I just recently went through a clomid cycle with success. I am 4 weeks 3 days pregnant. Today the doctor called and wants me to begin taking Crinone because again my lining is thin. I am very nervous that it is going to effect my baby in a negative way. Do the positive effects of Crinone out weigh the negative. I don't know what to do.
Hang in there! With all of the meds and the side effects it's hard not to look into every ache, pain, and moment... Try to relax and think positive.. if it gets too bad you may want to call the RE and see what they have to say. SSBD!
