| 3 | To stop my period | Extreme exhaustion, irritability, possible weight gain | I am taking 200mg 2x/day. My period was still happening after 18 days. Since I am having an HSG my next cycle, it was imparative to stop the bleeding so that I would know when my next cycle started. The first couple of days I felt fine, but about 3 days into it, I started to feel extremely tired to the point that I can barely function at work and I'm falling asleep by 5pm. Since I have to take it twice a day, I have to take a dose in the morning and in the evening--I imagine the exhaustion wouldn't be so bad if I could only take it before bed. I would have rated it higher if not for the side effects--my bleeding stopped within two days. | F | 25 | 10 days

4 | to induce ovulation; TTC | a little bit of tiredness after taking, mild cramping, nothing very serious | I am currently on my second month of prometrium. I had failed to ovulate or have a period from Feb. to May (my periods have always been sporadic) so my doc suspected I was low in progesterone. I ovulated and had a period in June and I have ovulated in July so hopefully this will help us concieve. I take 200mg at night for days 1 thru 10 of each month and go to sleep soon after. I wanted to post to ease some minds that not everyone has horrible side effects ( I was a little nervous before I started taking it). Please let me know if anyone has had success concieving with only prometrium. | F | 28 | 2 months

| 5 | to increase progesterone in preg | COMFORTABLE! So relaxed! Hot and cold on and off, but that could just be the pregnancy. Overall, just want to sleep. It is a nice, relaxing feeling. | I appreciate what this drug has done so far. We were in fear of a 5th miscarriage, and next week I will start my second trimester. | F | 28 | 1 months

| 4 | peri-menopausal moodiness | I have been taking 100mg of prometrium at bedtime for last two weeks of my cycle since April 2009.I have noticed( and my family has noticed) a big improvement in my premenstrual moodiness. I sleep well at night and feel calm and focused in the day. | Not sure how long I will take but as my physician says during the perimenopausal phase, you try something, if it works...great.If not, try something new because your hormones are changing and nothing is constant during this time. | F | 46 | 4 months
| | 7/16/2009
| 3 | Irritability, PMS | Tired, but did not sleep well at night, and the major thing I noticed was increased appetite | I felt that I couldn't eat enough! I didn't notice any improvement in PMS either. | F | 32 | 20 days
| | 8/4/2009
| 2 | peri-menopausal-to balance hormones | Slight dizziness, irritability, weight gain, bloating, nipple tenderness, slight pin-point stomach cramp (upper right), slight lower back cramping. | Just started taking 100 mg of prometrium at bedtime (6 days). Was already on NuvaRing (1 year) and DHEA (20 days), with no adverse side effects. | F | 50 | 6 days
| | 8/5/2009
| 2 | Low progesterone levels, fatigue | After taking Prometrium for 5 days (100 mg), had a tightening pain in my chest, trouble breathing, etc. | Stopped taking it immediately, would rather deal with my issues that these frightening side effects. | F | 48 | 5 days
| | 8/8/2009
| 3 | To induce periods | worry/anxious,crying/deppressed,moody, Tippsy feeling, bloated, headaches | I Take 200 mg at night days 1-15. It relaxes me at night before I go to sleep, however, I don't sleep soundly. Depending on the season/diet etc..I will experience, leg cramps, acne, rashes, and sinus infection(more often than usual) | F | 35 | 5 years
| | 8/9/2009
| 2 | Difficult, Irregular Periods | Extraordinary leg pain, monster cramps, weepy, clingy, zero energy, increased appetite. | I was told to take it at night because it was supposed to make me sleepy, but I didn't notice that it did. It seemed to me that my insomnia was worse. I had increased appetite, but nothing I would eat seemed to satisfy my - it was never the "right" thing. I would cry at the drop of a hat and the next moment be so angry I wanted to throw something. I was under the impression that hormone therapy was supposed to make these issues BETTER not worse. Not impressed. I am taking it for 10 days beginning 10 days after the first day of my period. I have only been through one cycle of it, but if this time around is no better, I'll be asking for something different. | F | 39 | 10 days
| | 8/10/2009
| 3 | irregular, heavy bleeding | Severe weepiness/moodiness, constant pain in back and sharp pain under ribs on right side (more severe at night after taking my pill). My inability to fall asleep increased and tossing/turning increased. | It did straighten out my irregular bleeding and lessened the heaviness of the bleeding, but not sure if the trade off of wanting to do bodily harm to others is worth it. Will be looking for other treatment options. | F | 38 | 28 days
| | 8/11/2009
| 5 | Pmdd, heavy and painful periods | Breast swelling, headaches | I love this drug. It saved my life. They put me on head meds for two years trying to"fix " me. I kept telling them it was hormones, not head problems, that were causing the paranoia, stress, anxiety and phobias that were developing so that I could not leave my house for two weeks out of the month. I was such a mess and out of hope before I flew to maine (from the west coast) to see a doctor that specialized in female probs). I was suicidal from trying so many meds that just made everything worse. The prometrium changed my life. I can function normally and realize when the mood shift happens (ovulation) it's time to start taking two pills in the morning and two at night. Amazing. I can live with the sore breast (I had to invest in some serious bras though) and the head aches (suboxicipital tension). A little physical discomfort is well worth the internal relief. I've been taking it over a year and love it. | F | 39 | 1.5 years

| 5 | irregular periods | tender breasts, abdominal cramping and bloating | Well my side effects have been minimal in comparison to the benefits it has delivered. I have irregular periods (possibly 3 - 4 annually)and we are trying to conceive. I have a very stressful career and home can be hectic most of the time due to various schedules, children activites and volunteer activities to boot! My stress level has decreased tremendously! I wake up with more energy and ready to take on the day. I was prescribed 200mg once a day taken at bedtime for 10 days. My outlook on life is optimistic and my co-workers have commented on my energy and smile :). Not necessarily a draw back but it knocks me out cold within 20 minutes and I sleep soundly. Sore breasts and the first five days, cramps felt like contractions (days 7 - 10). Finished 10 days as prescribed yet 14 days later still no period. I was told my period should start within 14 days of the last dosage. So, I am back to the lab for more blood work. If it was not for the fact we are trying to have a baby, I could take this medication every day! | F | 39 | 10 days
| | 8/25/2009
| 4 | Sustain pregnancy | Drowsy after taking the dosage at night. Helps me fall asleep quickly but then after 3-4 hours I am spending sleepless nights.
I feel depressed and dizzy most of the time. I don't like the drug but it has saved my two pregnancy and I am hopeful it will work this time too. | I had 2 miscarriages due to lack of progesterone in my first trimester. My new high risk pregnancy doctor prescribed me prometrium 200 mgs for the entire first trimester. I had two viable pregnancies since. I am pregnant again and taking the prometrium again. However, I spotted recently due to a tear in my placenta so doctor has increased the dosage to 200mgs of prometrium twice a day. | F | 35 | 3 months

| 5 | progesterone hormone replacement | None- I feel great on it. I take 100 bid. | This is reportedly bioidentical progesterone. I take 100 mg bid, a continuous therapy regimen. My estrogen replacement is vivelle dot .050. Both are great and I feel terrific on them. I personally wanted to stay clear of the synthetic progestins and their side effects. | F | 50 | 3 years

| 4 | prevent miscarriage | Sore nipples. Cramps. Bit tired. Bloated. Whitish discharge. | Taking Prometrium X2 a day 200mg vaginally. I'm 42years old and wasn't very optimistic because of my age and statistics. I had 1 previous miscarriage a few years ago at 38. My uterine lining was just ok then. I wasn't taking Prometrium at the time. I had an IUI 17days ago and just confirmed that I'm indeed pregnant. I am choosing to stay on it until my 1st trimester is over. It's not a very comfortable to take but i really feel like it's helping. My nipples were sore but that is a side effect of Prometrium. I just found out I'm pregnant. A small clue of pregnancy was that my breast were showing signs of being fuller. No bleeding at implantation but a bit stronger cramps at the time. (used Chlomid n Gonal pre-IUI) I pray this is for real. There's hope, Hang in there! | F | 42 | 17 days
| | 9/16/2009
| 5 | irregular periods | I had some insomnia the first cycle. I'm on my 2nd cycle and haven't had the insomnia but last night I had the strangest feeling. I was off balance and the out-of-body experience others mentioned is probably the best description. It was the first time I had taken it and not gone straight to bed. It was probably an hour or so after taking the 200mg nightly dose that this occurred. I also had diarrhea just before these other symptoms and I had eaten something after taking the dose. | I'm on my 2nd cycle of 3 cycles. 12 pills every 30 days for 3 months. I've taken 2 pills in this 2nd cycle. | F | 42 | 1 months
| | 9/20/2009
| 3 | sustain pregnancy | dizziness, lightheadedness, extreme fatigue, no energy, moodiness | I didn't know what was wrong with me until I read this website and saw all of the same symptoms I had with the others that have taken Prometrium. I have been unable to do anything and barely function for the last week. My doctor confirmed that my symptoms are probably from being 8 wks pregnant and being on 200 mg/day. I have had low progesterone with a couple other pregnancies that resulted in miscarriages, so I'm going to keep on it for another 2-3 weeks, perhaps cut the dosage - hoping to feel better soon, but mainly want the pregnancy to continue. | F | 41 | 12 days

| 1 | maintain pregnancy (1st trimester) | VERY dizzy, headaches, coughing, blurred vision, weakness | I began taking this drug at 6 weeks during my last pregnancy which ended in miscarriage. I began taking it this time at 1 day past ovulation. | F | 33 | 5 days
| | 9/24/2009
| 2 | postmenopause | Was taking 200mg prometrium in combination with 2mg of estradiol daily. The good news: after 7 days, the intensity of hot flashes was greatly reduced. Bad news: after 14 days, started developing severe muscle pain on one side of my body and especially bad in the calf of my leg. Decided to quit. | | F | 52 | 16 days

| 5 | PMS, Postpartum Depression | Tiredness, some bloating | Be careful about what you read on the Internet. This medication has also saved me numerous times. I have low progesterone in my cycles from PCOS. Had severe postpartum depression with 2nd child, a bout of it over 2 years ago and now with 3rd. Couldn't sleep hardly at all, not even with sleep medications. The prometrium each month, while makes me tired, helps me to feel very calm and sleepy. I love it. I've tried compounded shots and oral prog. but none work as good as Prometrium for me - it is the only FDA approved natural progesterone. Everyone is different so I guess you just have to see for yourself. | F | 31 | 2 years

| 1 | Eliminate Period (cramps, PMS) | Extremely painful nipples, neck/shoulder pain, increased anxiety and irritability to the point of rage, gut pain and bloating, severe fatigue, inability to focus, but the worst: food cravings! | Doctors don't have a clear picture of all the effects Prometrium causes.
This should never be prescribed to middle aged women who have struggled with weight gain! I've been on this for 1 month and have gained 4 lbs; I was weight stable and losing before this prescription. The side effects are far worse than what the drug was prescribed for.
I'm going to start taking Omega 3 Fatty Acids (12,000 mg/day) since I understand it gets rid of severe cramps w/in 3 months. | F | 47 | 1 months

| 4 | symptoms of perimenopause | | I have terrible night sweats & occas. hot flashes but my biggest complaints were mental fogginess and irritability. After reading other comments on the site about Prometriun and dosages, I decided to start at 100mg. It reduced the frequency of my night sweats 60-70%, hot flashes 50%. Mental clarity improved 50%, but the biggest improvement was my mood. Irritability gone!! So I upped the dose to 200mg to see if I could get more relief from the other symptoms. After 1 month at 200mg there was no further improvement and my mood went to hell!! I dropped back to 100mg and mood greatly improved again. Best way I can describe it is, Prometrium gives me a much longer fuse and my husband is thankful. 100mg is the right dose for me. | F | 40 | 3 months
| | 10/23/2009
| 2 | Period Regulation | First day I was extremely tired all day. Moderate irritability throughout and since I finished taking it (aware of it and it has been pretty bad, but I don't snap at every little thing). I didn't notice an increase in appetite while I was on it, but I have definitely experienced an increase since I finished taking it (over 2 weeks ago). | I took Prometrium because I have never been regular and after I tried Depo and stopped using it, I was even more irregular with different colors and consistencies to boot!
The Prometrium was supposed to make me have a period 2 weeks after I finished it so that I would start being regular, but it failed at that and things have stayed pretty much the same.
One positive mark though: side-effects much milder than with Loestrin24. | F | 20 | 12 days

I have hypothyroid as well. Have been miserable for 7 years...period stopped and obgyn suggested prometrium and menest. AMAZING! That is all I can say. I have not felt this good in at least 7 years. I sleep like a rock and am functioning better in every way. | F | 49 | 60 days

| 5 | sustain a pregnancy | bloating, sleepy, increased thirst, cramping | Have had 7 miscarriages in the past Dr put me on Prometrium vaginally on last preg b/c level was 10 and I always miscarried during wk 5-10. Took nightly does ruin your underwear so use panty liners also affect your sex life for a short time till your done using it but I delivered a healthy boy finally! He's 11 mos now and I am 4 wks preg now and on Prometrium again. The listed side effects could be preg related I just pray they hear a heartbeat at my next appt as the drug could delay a miscarriage if one in fact already occured. I have full faith in this drug and hope I NEVER have to go down that dark road again of miscarriage.The only poss side effects in my son are he has red hair and noone in the family does and a bit of a drama queen!!!But is walking and using words already! | M | 30 | 12 weeks

| 1 | no periods | Dizzness, extreme fatigue, horrible upper back pain, confusion, memory loss, chill | I was told to take Prometrium since i was late on my periods. on day 5 i experienced a horrible back pain in the midle of the night. it was so bad I almost went to the ER. Same on day 6. I stopped the prometrium and prefer not having periods and be blaoted than putting my body through so much pain. I still feel a litle dizzy and confused...but i feel better. cant wait for that stuff to completly leave my system. | F | 36 | 6 days

| 2 | Induce a period | diarrhea, stomach pain, difficulty sleeping through the night, moodiness, dizzyness/off balance | I was prescribed Prometrium (200mg at night) when my gyn wanted me to try it for 12 days to induce a period since I hadn't had one in 4 months and only have had 3 in the past year. It all started when I stopped using the Nuvaring. I had very regular periods before I used birth control and while on it. We have been trying to conceive. I finished my last dose 2 weeks ago, and still no period, so I called my doctor and am waiting to see what she recommends to do. The only thing I noticed was a tiny bit of brown discharge and a few cramps 1 - 2 days after my last dose, but thats it. No bleeding. | F | 24 | 12 days

| 1 | induce periods | Today is my second day to take Prometrium. Yesterday I took it and felt extremely exhausted, but blamed it on my long hard day. Today I am fully rested and ate lunch then took my 200mg prescribed for once a day, and I feel dizzy, out of touch with reality and so exhausted I could go back to bed and sleep all day. I am having a hard time focusing on my household chores and feel groggy, and very weak. I will continue the medicine for a few days, as today is Saturday. If I still feel this way on Monday, I will call my dr and report my side effects. I also feel swelling in my hands and feet but weakness and exhaustion sum up the side effects. I feel as if I am wasted drunk, nothing is making much sense. I am not happy with the medicine so far.. but will give it until Monday. | | F | 25 | 2 days

The dr. changed to prometrium and now sleep seem to be my only goal. i have taken 200 mg daily for 35days straight. I really am thinking about getting off it. can anyone advise? | F | 50 | 35 days

| 5 | Preserve Pregnancy | None but slight tiredness first two days. | At 13 weeks pregnant I experienced bleeding and a day of hard cramping. Dr. had prescribed 200 mg prometrium once a night ( to prevent pre-term labor I had with my last pregnancy) which I hadn't yet taken for fear of side effects. I took first capsule at 13 weeks pregnant, and have now been on prometrium 3 weeks with no noticeable side effects other than relaxed, sleepy feeling after my first two evening doses. My uterus seems way more calm and strong than before taking, and my pregnancy is much more comfortable with much less pelvic pressure, prometrium has helped very much in my case. | F | 38 | 3 weeks

| 5 | absence of periods/pcos | dizziness, fatigue during the day, increased appetite, a little trouble focusing sometimes | I have pcos and want to get pregnant.

| 3 | Bleeding from Uterine Fibroid | Sleepy and sluggish. Hard to get motivated some days. | I'm taking 100 mg 1 time a day to stop bleeding from a submucosal fibroid. It worked like a charm at first - bleeding stopped immediately. But that only lasted for several weeks. I am going back to the doc next week. | M | 48 | 6 weeks

| 2 | to induce period/pregnancy | Extremely exhausted, dizzy, spaced out. | This followed 30 days of taking 1.25 mg Premarin twice/day. Prometrium two 200 mg. capsules daily. It would have been very helpful for the Dr. to tell me to take this before bed rather than morning, or for it to be listed on the bottle. I didn't want to switch times after I began taking it in the morning so just had to stick it out, typically crashing for 2 hrs. after taking it. | F | 26 | 10 days

| 4 | To sustain a pregnancy | Tired, vaginal dryness, increase in BBT and thirsty are the main side effects. I'm not experiencing any of the severe ones, thank goodness. | I had 2 miscarriages (one in Feb 09 and the second Nov 09). Both were unexplained and since my insurance won't pay for tests until there are 3 miscarriages, I wanted to try to avoid another m/c if I could possibly do so. Taking prometrium (400mg a night) was an option that could possibly help, so I am trying it this go-around. I'm taking it day 14-28 or so...take a hpt and if positive stay on it, if negative stop taking until day 14 again. I'm in the 2-week wait window, so I'm a little nervous (or A LOT nervous is more like it). I do think that given my age (38) and my thyroid condition (hypo-thyroid/hashimotos) I am definately lacking the progesterone I need to carry out a pregnancy. I feel it in my gut! I'm guessing I have enough to get pregnant because I have been able to get preg right away...which is great news for a 38 year old! Baby dust to me & DH! I'll try to report back when I get pregnant to see if it works. | F | 38 | 4 days

| 4 | heavy periods | fatigue, drunk feeling if taken during the day. Good sleep if taken at night. puffy eyes. | I've had success in decreasing my flow with prometrium. Some months are more successful than others for side effects and flow. I started on 100mg days 14-28 of my cycle, but this was not enough to ease the flow on the third cycle. Then took 400mg days 14-28 for two cycles. That was great, eased the flow very well. Now am down to 200mg with cycles coming closer together by 3 days each cycle. This month has more depression, lack of motivation, and my inability to remember to take medication regularly. Opps. Works better when I take it. | F | 41 | 8 days

I'm taking it with elestrin. I had a miscarriage two years ago just before going into menopause. Now I've been in full menopause with horrible symptoms.

| 3 | Low prog; trying to conceive | Crazy dreams and deep sleep at night, sore breasts, cramping (like I was about to start)I also noticed a increased appetite. Many of my symptoms were confusing b/c they are similar to my pregnancy symptoms. | I started taking Prometrim the day I was ovulating;they put me on 200 mg. once a day. I was prescribed it due to two miscarriages and a low progesterone level. I've had cramping that felt like I was going to start, but I never would start. I started when I was supposed to start, the 28th day of my cycle. When I got my period, I spotted for 2 days, had heavy flow for 2 days and now I've had 4 days of additional spotting. I've always had 4 day regular periods, so I'm assuming it's the Prometrium causing the problems. | F | 28 | 21 days

| 5 | induce a period | minimal side effects...some bloating | Wow...reading this page sure freaked me out about this drug, especially since I am drug-sensitive and tend to get side effects when I take most medications. I took 200mg of this at night. I didn't notice any sleepyness but since I went right to bed, it wouldn't have mattered. If anything, I'd say the progesterone has a nice, calming effect which aids in sleep. I had some bloating right away (good for my breasts, bad for my stomach, lol). I haven't finished my 10 days, so I don't know if this will make me get my period (I haven't had one for 5 months now--eeks!) Even if it doesn't, I haven't had bad side effects from this drug, and it's going to help me figure out another line of treatment if it doesn't end up working (inducing a period).
I realize some of the reviews on this page can be scary, but everyone is different and you never know--you could get lucky like me. :) | F | 27 | 10 days

| 5 | endometrial hyperplasia | a little dizziness and tiredness, just take before bed. | I love this drug. Before taking I had horrible heavy periods for at least 5 years and than was skipping my periods. My endometrial lining became thickened and my chances for uterine cancer were increased. I had major hot flashes and night sweats and my moods were horrible. All of these things are much improved as is my desire for intimacy.

Without it I would be at increased risk for uterine cancer. It works well-though sometimes I have a heavy "period" with it.

| 4 | Pain/heavy bleeding--menopausal | I was looking on this site to see if anyone was experiencing headaches as I thought this med might be giving me daily headaches when I wake up. Haven't seen anyone saying that. | I went to a GYN specialist as my pain and bleeding were so bad. I sometimes couldn't leave the house for fear of bleeding all over. Thought I was going to have to have lazer surgery to clean out inside. However, since being on prometrium these symptoms have gone away. I haven't had any of the other symptoms that people are talking about and now am post-menopausal. I still have at least one or two hot flashes in the middle of the night, but so much better than every hour and full blown sweats. Moodiness is better although i still have it. Doc says some symptoms will last for many years. I had peri-menopause symptoms for at least 10 years and then menopause and now the aftermath...THE PITS! | F | 54 | 2 years

| 5 | Hot flashes, menopausal symtoms | No side affects | Started taking 3 weeks ago for severe hot flashes. I was having hot flashes at least 3 times per hour that would induce sweat on my chest which was very uncomfortable. I might have 1 or 2 hot flashes per day now, but not even sure as they are so mild. It was felt that I was estrogen dominant which was causing the hot flashes, so I am not taking with any estrogen replacement. Was hoping this perhaps would help me with weight gain, but have not noticed any progress in this area as of yet. Anyone else? | F | 50 | 3 weeks

| 3 | induce period | I was prescribed prometrium to induce my period which has been non-existant for over 2 months. I read the other comments and decided to take the medication in the evening. So far, the only side effect I seem to have is that I wake up with a mild headache which seems to go away by mid-morning. The two nights I took the medication, I seemed to have strange dreams both nights. I'm not sure if this is related to the medication.

The drug made me crazy. I wish I had researched it, as I thought I was losing my mind. I was dizzy/sleepy initially, then extremely emotional and agitated. I would fall asleep quickly, but wake up agitated and irritated. At 12 weeks pregnant (and I spent a great amount of money to get pregnant) I walked into an abortion clinic and had an abortion. My baby was very much wanted, but between the meds, and my hormones, I lost it, and am trying to find a way to cope with what I did. 8 months later, I am trying again; on the same dosage, but with supports in place.

I felt the effects right away and while I usually suffered extreme headaches, brain fog, body aches and felt completely miserable for a week prior to my period, after taking the med I slept very well, felt very calm which was a huge relief since I usually get very depressed, my mood was better, i was more energetic (a good thing considering I could barely get out of bed for days prior to my period. I did get my period sooner taking this med and it was a little heavy the first day but I had my period for a shorter duration of time (2-3 days) I usually get crazy cravings for sweets and carbs and I found that the med suppressed my appetite for those things..I experienced no weight gain. I love it and will continue to take it.

I have been a sleepwalker all of my life, but I've had 2 episodes in 14 days. This side effect was not even mentioned by the dr, I had to read about it on the net.

| 5 | Peri Menopause | No side effects. | I asked my doc to let me try Prometrium because I experienced peri menopausal symptoms: water retention, sore breasts, weight gain, month long heavy discharge, and mood swings. I could feel the effects just one day after taking the pill: my breasts were no longer heavy and tender. My water retention went down significantly and no more discharge. My husband told me that my mood improved.
I took Prometrium at night and I could stay up for an hour afterward without feeling drowsy or extremely tired. I finished the 14-day prescription Thursday night and thought I would wait a week to discuss with my doctor about my Prometrium experience.
Not sure if it's psychological or not, I began to feel anxious and moody by Saturday morning, just 24 hours off Prometrium. This is now Sunday evening and I have been feeling depressed and I don't feel like doing anything, not event spending time with our 8-year-old son.
I know I will be at my doctor's office first thing Tuesday morning, after the long weekend, to talk to him about the possibility of getting refills. It could be psychological but I would like to feel like myself again.
