prometrium

637951 tn?1257270344 When I took prometrium 3 years ago, it took about 12 or 14 days to get my period. I only had one cycle since I got pregnant with my son on the second round. Good luck!!!
1404364 tn?1289431561 ve only been on either BC pills or progesterone (Prometrium) to start in the past. Anyone have any experience with this?
Avatar f tn typically for me it takes 3 days.. some people start immediately though.. have you taken a preg test recently?
Avatar m tn Right, so I was taking progesterone to keep my period from coming so that things would have a chance to do their magic. In fact, I was told my period couldn'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)?
1262373 tn?1281543782 I am on prometruim on days 14-28, my understanding is that it helps thicken the lining of your uterus and makes you have a period. If I actually get pregnant during a cycle obviously I won't know it until cycle day 28 or so - My question is will taking the prometruim make my cycle start even if I conceive therefore causing an abortion?? Does the prometruim function like birth control causing your cycle to start or will my period only start if I don't ovulate or conceive?
Avatar f tn Prometrium doesn't delay your period. It's supposed to make it start. Mine didn't start until 2 weeks after I took the last pill, which I think is normal.
398459 tn?1262186144 -( The doc now has me on 5 days of prometrium, I think to facilitate a period and start the whole process over. Anyone know about prometrium being used to facilitate a period? How many days later should it start? Any side effects? Thanks for the help.
Avatar f tn I talked to the doctor today who told me to stop the prometrium and I should expect my period in 2-3 days. I had my hopes up that perhaps I was pregnant because I know some women who have not gotten a positive on a home pregnancy test until a week after the expected period. I think I had my hopes up too much when the period was late when in fact it may have been the progesterone that was delaying my period. Has anyone had experience on progesterone like this?
623920 tn?1276478891 I believe you can take prometrium to do the same. I am wondering if i am not pregnant if my af will start while i am on the prometrium. I am not sure if the test they are doing is quantitative. Maybe they are just interpreting the numbers and telling if i am pregnant or not.
Avatar n tn On Tuesday I was told my Saturday Progesterone levels were 17-very good. OB said to keep taking Prometrium and to take it twice daily due to bleeding. He said U/S would not show anything yet. Tuesday afternoon my bleeding stopped and did not start again until Wednesday morning. It is now Wednesday evening and my bleeding has stopped again. I was wondering if taking the Prometrium at night and in the morning could be triggering bleeding? This is not like any miscarriage I have ever had.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn last shot on may 1st,2009 and my ob/gyn dr told me to start clomid on june 1st. now the question is, when can i start trying to concieve at this point... i know that the week after taking clomid is the expected time to try, but knowing that i havent had a period yet, is that possible. or when is it gonna be possible? after my first period maybe? im confused.
Avatar n tn 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. I've gotten my hopes up so many times before that I'm reluctant to take a preg. test.....
Avatar n tn m wondering when can i trying to concieve and when will i most likely have a period. My periods are very irregular my last period started jan 26- feb 2, 2010, and i haven't had one since n i've been on prometruim for about three weeks now.
775949 tn?1252645220 m on the last day of my 2 weeks of taking Prometrium to get my period back after Lupron. This morning while I was at a hair appointment, I started to get really dizzy and nauseous, and I felt really weak and faint. Then like 2 minutes later I ended up getting sick in the bathroom and lying on the bathroom floor in the salon with horrible lower stomach pain feeling like I was dying. She had to take the foils out of my hair and wash it out and my husband ended up having to come get me.
937427 tn?1247023856 you take clomid usually cd5-9 or cd3-7, so you have to have a period to know when to take it. you can use prometrium or provera they both induce af. the side effects of prometrium are horrible, i have never taken provera but i have heard good things. you might want to start tracking your bbt to see if you are ovulating.
Avatar f tn My doc wants me to start Clomid, but I have to have a period this month to begin it. She (my dr) told me that the prometrium is to make me start my period. I had side effects from the Prometium that are just like bring preggo.. breast tenderness, cramping, dizzyness, tired feeling, etc. Anyway, I was wondering what your dr said about the prometrium helping you get preggo? I was just wondering what other uses they use prometrium for besides starting periods..
1262373 tn?1281543782 t ovulating or having cycles. Every 35 days I would start a new round to force my body to have a period in hopes that it would kick start my system into ovulating - it worked after the 3rd cycle I got pregnant!!
Avatar f tn Doc has prescribed me the prometrium 200 mg for 5 days to stop.Then he is asking me to take clomid100 for this cycle3. Has any one taken Prometrium for abnormal bleeding? and if so did this medicine really works??.Thanks for any advice, it's very much appreciated.
Avatar n tn It would be worthwhile to test both of you if only one of you was tested 2) I doubt that the single strand MTHFR finding is significant, but agree that extra folic acid cannot hurt and might help 3) I would hesitate to start prometrium on day 12 of your cycle. Prometrium is given to treat luteal phase defect, but there really is no evidence that we are able to diagnose luteal phase defect, or that luteal phase defect causes recurrent pregnancy loss.
Avatar f tn I'm so sorry about the BFN, Miranda - it's all so frustrating and confusing especially when you know the conditions are right for conception. My doctor just prescribed some kind of progestin (I think it was Prometrium) to jump-start my period so I'm not sure too why it's used both ways. My husband's a pharmacist so when he's up and functional, I'll ask him and see what he says.
372900 tn?1315512302 My doctor put me on Prometrium pills for 10 days to start my period because I was late but didn't ovulate last month. Once my period starts I'm supposed to call the office so they can call in a prescription for Clomid. My question is I'm on day 7 and still no period. I was spotting yesterday but that's it. Should I call the doctor or wait until day 10 to see if it starts? (Day 10 is Saturday.) Has anyone else had to take medicine to start their periods?
Avatar n tn My Dr has prescribed Prometrium 200mgs to be taken for the 1st 5 days of my next period. Everything I have read about this is that it is usually prescribed for 10 days before your period, so I am confused. Also, he mentioned that Prometrium will help protect me from endometrial cancer and possibly breast cancer. I read that it may increase the risk of breast cancer so I am totally confused. Can someone help and offer advice? I am going for a 2nd opinion in December with another Ob/Gyn.
Avatar f tn My dr. just put me on Prometrium 200mg at bedtime with hope to get my period. Has anyone taken this for similar reason and what was your outcome? We are trying to get pregnant.
Avatar f tn The doctor put me on Prometrium 200mg for 10 days to bring my period back. I finished my 10 days pack 3 days ago and still no period.Is this normal? What could possibly cause not to start bleed.
Avatar f tn Then when I added maca and continued the Prometrium, my progesterone level went up to completely normal level!
Avatar f tn If you were my patient, the first thing I would do is to (after checking the pregnancy test which I ALWAYS do ) treat you with 5 days of Prometrium. This medication should start your period and "clean out" your uterus. Then, I would start you on Metformin and Femara. For some reason that we don't entirely understand, Metformin reduces the insulin insensitivity that is a part of the PCOS. The Femara would help you to ovulate regularly and speed up the time to conception.
