prometrium ttc

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!!!

I had a m/c about 5 months before that, so I believe the Prometrium helped me sustain the pregnancy. Prometrium is a progesteron supplement, the lack of progesterone can lead to m/c, so it is supposed to help with keeping the pregnancy. Like the others said, around the end of the first trimester the placenta takes over and you no longer need the supplments.

We've been TTC for 10 mths and I started with Clomid and Ovidrel in December. I had a Progesterone test on Day 21and my levels were low so my RE started me on Prometrium (3 doses of 100 mg). My cycle is typically 28-30 days. Today is day 33 and still no AF (I had a blood test yesterday and it was negative). Does Prometrium delay AF?

I thought about vitex, but did research and decided against it. I have regular cycles and ovulate, so I'm worried it would mess up my cycles. I am on progesterone...I've had 3 m/c and low progesterone with all, tho probably more of an egg issue I'd assume bc of my age.

m wondering though if provera is essentially the same as Prometrium? I know Prometrium is more of a natural progesterone and Provera is synthetic, but I have already done 10 days of prometrium and no period came. Ugh...so frustrating! I have not been diagnosed, but I have heard of Metformin. Of the symptoms of PCOS, the only one I have is the absense of a cycle. I will for sure ask about it...it's worth a shot!

I would appreciate any feedback. Very quickly, since I went off the pill in August 2007, I suffered a m/c in December. On 4/14 AF came on time (for the first time might I add) so I figured maybe my cycle will be regular. Well it was from 4/14-4/18 and pretty much consisted of heavy spotting and barely any cramping (unusual for me). Then on 4/26-5/1 - same thing!! So then I went to the OBGYN, after an u/s he believed that I wasn't ovulating. So he put me on Prometrium 200mg for 12 days.

I've had 3 miscarriages in the past and my boyfriend and I have den ttc for the last 6 months with no luck. My Obgyn diagnosed me with PCOS and then I did blood work on day 21 of my cycle and they said I didn't ovulate. She wants to start me on prometrium on day 21 of my next cycle. My periods are irregular and sometimes my cycles can be 40-50 days apart. Has anyone been on this medicAtion before? Does it help ovulate?

my doctor put me on prometrium. 1st month 10 days later i got my period. 2nd month 10 days later i only spotted for a day and no period. Did this happend to anyone? What could it be?

I am TTC and taking crinone gel on day 17 until I get my period. I have noticed that I start having some mild cramps around 5 or 6 days after starting the crinone suppositories. Has anyone else noticed this? It seems to be working b/c I am not having mid-cycle spotting anymore and my cycles have gone from 24 days to around 32 days.

I took prometrium until 12w and everything is going good. Good luck!

So he put me on Prometrium 200mg for 12 days. I started it on 5/2 and last night I began spotting. Then today heavy flow (mostly dark brown and kinda gooey) and cramps. I have 3 days left of the Prometrium (after today) and he had said I wouldn't start until 3-7 days after. The whole idea of me taking this is to regulate my cycle (it was either this or birth control for 2 months, but he said since I an TTC to try this first).

My doctor had found a small tumor on my pituitary gland that was causing hormone issues, prolactin HIGH, progesterone LOW, so he put me on Dostinex to lower the prolactin, and Prometrium to increase my progesterone. They said I had 3 good eggs release this cycle. They did a blood test on 6 dpo and prolactin was 9, and progesterone was 44... Is that a good sign or is the progesterone elevated from the prometrium ? We have been ttc for over 1 1/2 years, and I am not getting younger.

I took 100mg for one cycle (BFN) and the dr upped it to 200mg - on the third cycle - I got pregnant. I took it before I went to bed b/c of the side effects until I was in my 13th week. I'm now 30 weeks - I'd say, 'what could it hurt'?! I had two miscarriages and they ran a bunch of tests and found I have a blood clotting issue. So when we started TTC again I was told to take baby aspirin and prometrium.

Your progesterone numbers look great! so I doubt that you would need it.. most of the time low progesterone or luteal phase defect would show up on cd21 bloodwork, and have a short luteal phase.. i had spotting starting around 10dpo when my progesterone was low... you can buy progesterone cream otc, but not prometrium that i'm aware of! those are great numbers though! good luck!

Well, I have pcos too and my doctor put me on metformin 500mg three times a day and prometrium 200mg twice a day for 10 days each month. The metformin is good for me insulin levels and working with the prometrium my periods have come back after years of not having one. If your periods aren't coming and you're not ovulating it's so hard to have a baby. Ask your doc about putting you on metformin and prometrium or clomid. :) Good luck!

hello everyone im new here and i came to this site to see if i could get some help ive been ttc for 3 years now i just recently went to the doctor about 3 weeks ago and he put me on prometrium 400mg everyday for 10 days and then letrozole or femara 5mg cycle days 3 through 7 anyway im checkin for ovulation now and my test have not shown any surge of LH yet but its my first day to test what im wondering is is it normal to cramp what feels like in both my ovaries right before ovulation?

Hm, I didn't hear that one. I am 5 weeks and 2 days and the hubby and I have carried on as we always do (at least every 2-3 days) and no ill effects. Have you ever had testing done after the miscarraiges to see what was causing them. Sometimes they wait until the third one before they do.

I wonder if your levels start to decrease before taking the prometrium can a pregnancy still continue? meaning could the prometrium bring the levels up after they go down, or does it always result in MC?

I had luteal phase defect when TTC my first. I did not have it firmly diagnosed but my doctor confirmed at my first appt/ultrasound that I had correctly self-diagnosed (ha!). I had been chartign for 6 months and never had a temp increase after ovulation and my luteal phase was never longer than 8-9 days. I also had breakthrough bleeding/spotting for several days before AF, and AF was very heavy, long, and painful.

They told me to stop my Prometrium today and since it was my first time on it, I was wondering if anyone knows if AF will be heavier?

For the past 2 cycles of TTC, I have started spotting about 5-8 DPO. When it happened last month, I was sure it must be implantation bleeding, but after spotting for a few days, full blown AF showed up. Now this cycle, on 8 DPO the spotting has begun again. It's not enough to even get on my undies, just when I wipe. But when hubby and I BD'd last night, it did get on him a little too.

I've been ttc for just about a year now...my doctor put me on 200 Prometrium to start my period then Clomid 50 last month, no positive preg test so this month he did they same but uped my Clomid to 100. I did my OPK on days 10-today, which is day 15 with no LH surge. Can I still become pregnant without an LH surge? I thought for sure i ovulated, I got the little crap in my lower stomache and also had the extra mucus. is it possible or not?

I have been taking a vaginal dose of prometrium at night before bed now for about a week . My husband was not too shy to mention to me that on a romantic evening together while having an oral sex moment that I happened to taste different. Has anyone ever been told that this medication could make them taste like a copper penny? That would be the only thing that has changed in my daily routine, I just wanna make sure that there is nothing more serious going on with me.

I am 21 weeks and have had to take Prometrium orally ever since week 8 of my pregnancy for low levels of progesterone, also after having 3 miscarraiges within the last year. The diagnosis was a Luteal Phase Defect. I am currently still on the Prometrium although I only take 100 mgs everyother day as oppossed to the 200 mgs I was taking daily up until weeks 16.

Now, does this mean I am ABOUT to ovulate or I am ovulating NOW???? I took Prometrium this month to help regulate my cycle and help me ovulate and I think it worked!! I haven't had EWCM since before my m/c in December! Yeah!

Hi, i agree you should be on metformin.. i take prometrium for 10 days to induce af, it can also take up to 14 days after the last pill. i don't know if it has to do with pcos but every cycle i take prometrium it takes longer to start. last cycle i got to day 14 and nothing! my doc just started me on clomid again as if i had af. i think women with pcos respond different to hormones, i would wait until day 14 then call your doc.

Thanks! You guys are soo supportive. The appointment went very well. The doctor was encouraging and I learned a lot. Both of my m/c's were early. He also said that at 4 1/2 weeks they basically view it like a negative pregnancy tests if the pregnancy doesn't progress normally. It's not very alarming and basically just a chemical pregnancy. A whopping 75% of all fertilized eggs are abnormal with no chance of success, thus the high rate of m/c.
