| 3 | To Induce a period | Sleepy, depression, constant worry, lots of crying, hot flashes and some cramps | I did a set of pills a month ago and no period, I am hoping this second time around they work- i have all the side effects just no period- has anyone else had to do a few cycles before starting a period? | F | 25 | 20 days | 4/22/2009 | 5 | irregular bleeding, hormone imbal | I had some dizziness and some extreme hunger for carbs, the bad carbs like cakes donuts, ice ccream. and being tired this lasted a week. | I deal with the hunger for carbs with fruit. I have stared to lose weight, whereas i couldn't lose it after my pregnancy. The side efect only lasted a week. i have been blood free now for about 3 months...hoping to get pregnant soon. | F | 32 | 90 days | 4/18/2009 | 3 | Stop prolonged menstrual bleeding | Dizziness - to the point of not being able to walk straight, fatigue, sound sleep (I don't even hear my children at night) | I was on 200mg Prometrium to stop my flow. My period has lasted 18 days! After being on the 200 mg, my flow slowed to spotting, but came back heavier after 5 days, so I was put on 400 mg, and it seems to be stopping the bleeding and cramping. I am very tired on it though, and thankfully my husband is home during the night to take care of the children, because I don't hear them when they wake since I have been on this stuff. | F | 39 | 7 days | 4/7/2009 | 2 | Heavy Bleeding Prementopause | Bloated, Cramping, Fatigue, Dizzness, BAD CONSTIPATION to the point I am calling my doctor to get off the drug after having taken it for 7 months | I take the drug to help prevent Uterian Cancer and to help my periods come more regular and not so heavy when they do come. This drug has not helped either. In 7 months I have had 4 periods one of which was very heavy with clots. I take the drug once a month for 12 days. However I find I have the side effects all month long not just the days I take the pills. Looking to get off the drug. | F | 55 | 7 months | 3/24/2009 | 3 | Induce period | Dizziness, Hot Flashes, Cramping, Gas, Sleepiness, and breast tenderness first few days of taking it. I also feel totally energized in the mornings and want to actually get out and do stuff.(maybe its because I'm getting a full nights sleep for once) This stuff should be prescribed to insomniacs!! | I am on my tenth night of a ten day cycle of prometrium to induce my period ( I havent had one for a little over 3 months) I'm scared it isnt going to work because I haven't even spotted since I started it. I have been cramping like my body was trying to start but nothings happened so far. This is the second time I have not had my periods after being diagnosed with PCOS a few years back. When I have my period its normal for like a long time and always on time.. and then all of a sudden I will just quit haveing my period for like months on end. This is the first time for me taking prometrium though. Before when I went without a period I took glucophage for a few months and then I started my period again. So I am wondering if I should go back on the glucophage? Hopefully I will start soon and hopefully get back to normal for a while. | F | 34 | 10 days | 3/20/2009 | 3 | ENDOMETRIAL HYPERPLASIA | dizziness, fatigue, anxiety, hot flashes,skin changes, sleeping too much, no motivation to do anything | I take this the first 12 days of each month. I am so happy to go off of it after the 12 days. I don't like how it makes me fee, but I don't want a hysterectomy so hopefully it will work. | F | 54 | 2 months | 3/12/2009 | 5 | surgical menopause | sleepiness- my doc told me to take it at night for the hot flashes - plus the mechanism of action somehow binds to the valium receptors in your brain (hence the reason to take it at nite) if you're taking it in the morning, try to switch. | feel good. i take it daily for HRT. it is supposed to be the closest to human progesterone- my doc told me if she had to take a progesterone this would be it. I also use evamist estrogen | F | 42 | 10 days | 3/7/2009 | 3 | peri-menopause constantly bleeding | I take this in addition to the Vivelle dot patch. I experience slight cramping, dizziness and sleepiness after about 30-60 minutes. Very emotional and foggy-headed all day to the point that I can no longer do my job. Recently I feel like I am going crazy, that my head is going to explode if I don't get an hour or more to be completely alone. | this pill works well to stop the bleeding. | F | 52 | 2 months | 3/3/2009 | 3 | Help pregnancy through In-Vitro | I take 2 200mg pills orally at night for 10 days. I started on day 3 of my cycle per Doc. The first morning, I could barely get out of bed and experienced a headache like a migraine all day - went to bed early and slept it off - the next 9 days have shown no headaches or sleepyness during the day. I sleep really well at night. Side effect is that I have been spotting every other day - I never really ended my period. | My usual periods are 4-6 days. Taking Prometrium has made period continue until day 14. Doc says that this will help flush my lining so my next ovulation and IVF will be a success. My natural periods occur every 45-48 days but Clomid has helped get them to 28-30 days. We are on our 9th try at IVF so hopefully this will work. | F | 31 | 14 days | 2/21/2009 | 3 | Post Hysterectomy | I just started taking 100mg per night. I have been on Premarin for several years, however the Dr. feels I will benefit from having progesterone to balance out my HRT. Today is the first day and I feel very spaced out and emotional. Do you know if these side effect go away once my body adjusts? | F | 50 | 1 days | 2/16/2009 | 4 | Perimenopause Symptoms - Insomnia | After first month, I started my period 3 days early, second month - 4 days early. I am no longer on a usual 28-day cycle (and was consistently before taking). | I take them nightly, not on a cycle - it took almost 45 days for them to help me sleep, but now that my body has adapted, they make me tired within 30 minutes of taking them. I've noticed now, after 75 days of taking them, I am waking up very tired, too. I think I am going to ask my doctor to cycle me through them, rather than keep them as a nightly medication. | F | 47 | 80 days | 2/13/2009 | 2 | miscarriages | WEIGHT GAIN, moodiness, depression | I have had many miscarriages and my doctor prescribed 200 mlg per day after i ovulated. I have been continuing my regular workouts and have been gaining weight. I started now running 5 miles a day and im still gaining weight. ive gained 20 lbs since using it 3 months ago. As far as it working for a full term pregnancy, I dont know if ill be able to continue the treatment long enough to see if I dont get pregnant soon. | F | 30 | 3 months | 2/9/2009 | 4 | sustain pregnancy/low progesterone | Gives me drunk feeling, extreme fatigue starting an hour after I take it, lasting about an hour. Makes it difficult to work! Have a pooch that appeared out of nowhere---I suspect it's the med. as my diet and exercise have not changed much. | Taking 200mg twice a day. Started taking it 17 DPO after progesterone level was measured at 7.8 on 14 DPO. Had to apply pressure to Dr. to test progesterone and to write me a prescription. Am now 6 weeks--hope it works! 1 previous m/c. | F | 34 | 13 days | 2/3/2009 | 3 | pre menopause | INSOMNIA,cramping, headache,shakiness all over,heart racing | I have been taking for four days and have not slept for 4 days. I have so much energy. The first night I found this web sight and I decided to rub on my skin the next 2 nights did not change still could not sleep. Called my Dr. today he said to take it vaginally so I did and I am wide a wake. I like that it has given me energy but I need sleep.So I think tomorrow I am going to take during the day.I also have been taking tylenol PM at night, does not help | F | 41 | 4 days | 1/27/2009 | 5 | peri menopausal difficulties | Breasts were extremely painful for the first few days. | Also reduced anxiety. Reduced night sweats, mood swings and hot flashes. Have taken for 2 years. | F | 49 | | 1/23/2009 | 4 | To help achieve pregnancy | Experiencing all symptoms described here - insomnia, fatigue, irritability, jittery feeling, tender / swollen breasts, dizziness. Makes me feel just like I did when I was pregnant. | One thing that does help is to insert the medication vaginally. My fertility doctor said it was just as effective, and using the medication this way does eliminate the dizziness and light-headed feelings. And it still really thickens the lining. | F | 42 | 2 months | 1/22/2009 | 4 | induce period | very tired,if i wake up in the night it is hard to function,mild cramping and headache, hard to wake up in the morning | I take it at night before bed,so I have not experienced a lot of the symptoms I have heard about. I have only been on it for four days, I hope it works! I'm going on four months with no period, that makes it a little hard to have a baby:) The tiredness is the worst thing so far. | F | 26 | 10 days | 1/21/2009 | 4 | 40 days late, to start menses | Hunger- especially for carbs; mood swings- my poor children; I feel mean and really don't care. | My bad attitute is a problem because I'm home with my children all day and by the end of the day- BAD! I'm saying things like - Your sister hit you?! Deal with it... to my 4 year old. What a nasty grump! | F | 31 | 10 days | 1/15/2009 | 3 | Pcos..infertility | pain in throat dizziness,weeping unnecessarily,emotional,craving for carbs | I was on Birth control pills for 9 months and now I want to get pregnant but i do not have my period after stopping it..So doctor gave me prometrium and said that after I get the period i can take clomid....I wish this suceseds and i get pregnant..If anyone di the samething ...please email me that it would be a sucess...I would appreciate it | M | 25 | 10 days | 1/13/2009 | 3 | not had a period in a long time | 200 mg twice a day so i take one at night and one in the morning; light headededness (I think one of the other people is correct that this occurs when combined with caffeine and possibly if you haven't drank enough water yet). The dizziness only occurred in the morning; it set in about 45 min - 1 hr after I took the pill and only occurred if I was up walking around; it lasted only about an hour; feel a bit bloated, but i have IBS anyway; possibly a little weight gain too; no period yet and i'm on day 6 of 10. | F | 29 | 10 days | 1/12/2009 |
