prometrium

440684 tn?1204742363 So she started me on Prometrium that I insert vaginally every night. Has anyone else had to use this and what are the effects? Did it stop your shortening of the cervix? It doesnt effect the baby at all, right??
1262373 tn?1281543782 so you are saying that if I get pregnant while on the prometrium my risk of miscarriage is not going to be higher and the meds won't force a period right?
Avatar f tn I did not get periods for 2 months but I was getting some kind of bleeding every now and then. My gynac suggested me to take prometrium for 10 days after seeing a follicle. Its been 7 days now that i have stopped prometrium but still no periods. I have take HPT too in the past week and both the tests are negative. I am confused if I am pregnant or not Could some one suggest me here any solution. Also, when should we take the HPT once we stop prometrium.
Avatar f tn Prometrium, a progesterone supplement, is sometimes prescribed during the first trimester of pregnancy in women who have had a history of miscarriages caused by low progesterone levels. The addition of prometruim during pregnancy helps ensure that the women will carry the fetus to full-term. It works by helping ensure that a placenta is fully formed thus providing the necessary lifeline for the developing fetus.
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.
175665 tn?1306459024 Is anyone here on Prometrium now or used it in the past? I have had 6 miscarriages in the past, most recent one was twins Christmas Day. I just got a BFP Saturday night and went and had my 1st Beta drawn this morning as well as my progesterone level. Well we are expecting horrible weather, ice and up to 20 inches of snow, so my OB's office decided to close at 2:30 this afternoon and for will be closed tomorrow, possible the rest of the week.
Avatar m tn I would say still take it because it sounds like it is adding back estrogen into the body am i right? or what is the use of the prometrium? Sounds like you may be pregnant still especially if it isn't heavy bleeding.
1370609 tn?1306380021 Anyone here had a natural pregnancy without IVF and had to use Progesterone Endometrin 2 times a day and had a sucessful long term pregnancy?
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 When and if you are ready to try again or talk to your doctor ask him if prometrium treatment might help. My doctor has me on prometrium (progesterone) every night vaginally for the first trimester. I have made it to 8 weeks so far with a viable pregnancy. Just a thought. I hope some of this or all of this helped. If not I truly am sorry, take care.
Avatar f tn Prometrium (human progesterone) sustains a pregnancy - my husband (a pharmacist) said in his professional opinion, he has never heard of prometrium causing any birth defects. I took progesterone for almost 13 weeks after conceiving my baby and he was just fine as many others have on this forum. I wouldn't worry about it and let me add a big congrats on your pregnancy!!
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.
Avatar n tn Also the only other forms of progesterone that I am aware of is a vaginal suppository which not all insurance companies cover and by injection. And trust me choking down a pill is MUCH better than getting a shot in your bum everyday for 12 weeks. Having a black and blue tush for several months is not fun but sometimes you just have to grin and bear it to do what is best for baby.
1328947 tn?1295011446 What are my chances of having a healthy pregnancy? has anyone had this happen to them? i dont really get sick, im just sleepy and bloated all the time? someone please give me some advice!
211043 tn?1337050701 I did have that side effect as well from the prometrium (one of the good side effects actually!!!) but of course it could still be pregnancy too!!! so hopefully it is not the progesterone in your case! :) good luck and keep us updated!
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn Advantages of Crinone 8% Crinone 8% provides effective progesterone support for implantation and pregnancy. In addition, Crinone 8% offers benefits when compared with other forms of progesterone.
Avatar f tn I DO know that as far as progesterone, you need enough of it to sustain a pregnancy. Especially in early pregnancy..something about until the placenta can fully form and take over providing the progesterone for the baby. Anyways, wished I could've been of more help. Good luck to you!! Take Care!!
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?
422823 tn?1229736847 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.
1741246 tn?1311324281 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. Any ideas?
Avatar f tn Rare cases of congenital anomalities including cleft palate, cleft lip, ventricular septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, and congenital heart defects have been reported in the infants of woman using Prometrium for unapproved indications including the preventions of such outcomes. Studies in humans cannot rule out the possibility of harm. Therefore, Prometrium capsules should be used during pregnancy only if indicated.
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.
