prometrium

Avatar f tn the pregnancy if it is a healthy, normal pregnancy to start with. Nature will take its course if the fetus is not viable and prometrium will not interfere with this process.
Avatar f tn My progesterone dropped during my 4th week of pregnancy and the doctor prescribed prometrium. I am currently experiencing brief but horrible cramping accompanied with some minor bleeding. I've read the prescription information pamphlet over and over, and that is apparently a side effect. But with my history...I just need to know if anyone else experienced the same while taking Prometrium but still was able to have a healthy baby.
1262373 tn?1281543782 Yes, Prometrium would not force a period.
Avatar n tn Does anyone know anything about prometrium, the placenta, luteal phase defect, heart palpitations during pregnancy, and fetal risk associated with Progesterone supplementation during pregnancy? I need all the info I can get.
Avatar f tn 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..
Avatar f tn I was on prometrium with my last pregnancy, and although the pregnancy didn't work out, it had nothing to do with prometrium. There are so many women on here who took it during pregnancy to have all turn out just fine. Its a pretty common thing to give us "older" expecting moms. I already have a prescription for it as I am to start taking it again as soon as I get another positve pregnancy test. As far as I know its perfectly safe to take during pregnancy.
Avatar n tn I am currently 6 weeks pregnant and my doctor prescribed prometrium 200mg and and I have been cutting open the pill and taking the medicine that way because I can not swallow pills, so I want to know if the medication is still working in my body?
Avatar n tn t cause m/c actually it prevents it. Many women take prometrium to support pregnancy. Many women have low level of progesterone so they start prometrium.It is safe to take. I started having some brown spotts the day when i had to do the first beta and my RE started me on prometrium and the spotting stopped. If you're having a m/c is not because of prometrium.Check your levels to see if is a good pregnancy.
182352 tn?1231183410 Yes lot of women with progesterone take prometrium during pregnancy! I myself took progesterone injections but its about the same thing. Ive read lots of posts where people were taking glucophage also and it seems to be helpful.
Avatar f tn I was in prometrium 200mg once a day with my 3rd pregnancy..and still i m/c at 17&1/2 weeks, when they u/s me, the baby don't show movement and no heart beat.. I should only take the prometrium for first 12 weeks, but my OB told me to continued the left pills, they last till my 15&1/2weeks and on that same day we heard my baby's heart's beating.. what do you think is the reason why my pregnancy stopped at above said weeks. is it bec.
1221453 tn?1281092342 nt have to take it with this pregnancy, but i had to take it with my last pregnancy. I think that they kept me on it for 12 weeks and then I went off. i did fine coming off of it no side effect and no problems with the baby, he was born happy and healthy. i was a little nervous coming off of it, but your body shuold be able to take over caring for the baby without help now and your chances of a miscarriage at this point are pretty low!
Avatar f tn (Category B, which means that there is no known association with birth defects or other pregnancy-related complication and the drug is probably safe.) Pregnancy- category B.
Avatar f tn I have had one miscarriage at 4 months and I fear I am probably having another one with my second pregnancy I have been prescribed Prometrium and I am just wondering if it has done any good to any one etc. Thank you.
290867 tn?1333569278 My friend has had several miscarriages and sees an re and a high risk ob...she was put on prometrium to help with progesterone levels to promote a healthy pregnancy...therefore, I don't think it causes miscarriages and I would say it is safe while ttc although I am making assumptions based on my friend's situation....best to ask your doc or pharmacist.
175665 tn?1306459024 I am taking Prometrium and took it my last pregnancy. If your Progesterone is low you will miscarry. Likewise if there is a genetic issue with the little embryo that would cause miscarry Prometrium won't "save" the pregnancy. But at least you'll be able to get far enough along using the Prometrium to see what is going to happen and possibly prevent a miscarriage in the event your little bean is healthy as can be! Prometrium makes me feel really dizzy.
Avatar n tn My ob/gyn has put me on Prometrium to help regulate my menstrual cycle. My husband and I are trying to concieve our second child. With my first child I was put on prometrium for the first trimester due to low progesterone levels. This month I thought there was a chance I was pregnant and he told me instead of taking it days 16-25 I should remain on it until I know for sure if I am pregnant. I still have not gotten my period, and I am 3 days late.
Avatar f tn 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. I stopped taking the prometrium th week before I called her.
Avatar n tn My daughter just had an ultra sound and it showed that she was pregnant with twins. One of the twins was not viable after six weeks. The other twin is still going strong at 8 weeks. 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?
623920 tn?1276478891 I am taking prometrium to help support the pregnancy (if i am). I usually take provera to start my cycle because i am irregular. 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 ve heard that when you are pregnant, your blood vessels dilate and I wonder if my headache is related to prometrium or possible pregnancy. When I first started prometrium, I was exhausted, but I got over that in 2 days. Since then, I've had no side effects except for these headaches. Has anyone experienced this before?
1741246 tn?1311324281 My only symptoms of the endo are extreme lower back pain and cramps when I ovulate. Ten days ago I had a frozen embryo transfer, and am on my two week wait until my blood pregnancy test. (3 sleeps left) The last two nights asleep, I have been awakened by the same kind of ovulation pains & cramps. I am certain that there is no way I could be ovulating right now, and am wondering if maybe it might be my endometriosis that is acting up because of the estrogen and prometrium I am taking.
Avatar f tn My obgyn prescribed me with prometrium because there was a possibilty that a hormone in my body was low. The same day he prescribed the meds, he ordered some labs and put me on bed rest and had me schedule a follow up in a week. I got the medicine filled at the pharmacy but wasn't exactly comfortable with taking them because my doctor informed me that prometrium is not fda approved. I decided not to take the medication.
611020 tn?1290571629 I have been on prometrium every pregnancy (this one included) except my first one. I miscarried 4 times while taking it, and had the bleeding as expected. It won't stop symptoms, I know that from personal experience. Good luck to you!!
934644 tn?1245336749 No I have not had sex in over a week and haven't actually got to see my doctor yet. I'm so worried cause this is how my miscarriage started. I called the doctor answering service and they want me to up my prometrium to 300 MG, but my 200 MG tablets are liquid filled and won't split. I think I took 400 MG with my last healthy pregnancy. Someone on here suggested I ask for 400 also. I guess tonight I'll just have to take 2 tablets.
Avatar f tn That is why you are always to have a beta hCG blood draw on the 32-33 day of your cycle to see if pregnancy has taken place. When your progesterone is low then you can spot with pregnancy and if you atop it then you will almost idefinetly mc! Also if you miss a dose or do not take it right on time during your luteal phase. Little spotting during the luteal ophase is a good sign that implantation might have taken place if it takes place over just a day and then turnss brown.
Avatar f tn You should check with your dr. I was on Prometrium (progesterone) from 2dpo and through my 1st trimester, so that shouldn't be a problem. A neg blood test could be mistaken, IF it was done too early. Best wishes.
