| 4 | maintain pregnancy | some dizziness and breast tendernous | I was Diagnosed with PCOS about a month ago because I have cystic ovaries. My male hormones are at a normal level and I am not diabetic. So I am wondering if I really have this?! I am pregnant now and the gestational age is almost 8 weeks. But last week I had an ultrasound and the sac measured only 4.5 weeks. I hope that this is because I ovulated late. In any case, they checked my hormone levels and it seems that they are rising but not doubling as they should be so they gave me a script for Prometrium (100MG two time/day). I see the Dr. tomorrow. My biggest concern is that taking this supplement will harm the baby, particularly if it is a boy. If anyone knows anything about this please email me at [email protected] | F | 28 | 4 days | 3/24/2008 | 2 | to induce period | dizziness,nausea,headache,cramps,backache,loss of balance,memory loss | This is the second time I've taken Prometrium to start my period.I have endometriosis and cervical cysts and my doctor said this would help regulate my hormones when they messed up.The first time I took it was about 5 months ago and I didn't have any side effects.So far I've taken it for 8 days this time.My period hasn't started but I've had some of the worst cramps of my life.I take 400mg at night and within 30 minutes of taking it it feels like I've been drinking.It's also been causing my to not remember anything that happens after it's taken.I have 2 days left and if it doesn't work I have to go back to my doctor.But I will NEVER take this stuff again.I'd rather just let my body work itself out. | F | 26 | 8 days | 3/20/2008 | 5 | to carry fetus (pregnancy) | I am a long time user of progesterone, I have been pregnant and carried 3 children and miscarried 3, and am pregnant again, I am 5 weeks along and for the first time taking prometrium orally, all other times were vaginally, I was relieved to see these other people with some of the same side effects as me, I feel bloated, gas, soooo sleepy almost drunk or high feeling, very fatigued and unmotivated, and I have aching in my back, I take 200mg 2x's daily, I cannot recall having these effects from this medication when I took it vaginally? However I also have never been so emotional with all the other pregnancys I mean gees some days I am so overjoyed and some days scared to death, I guess that might be common when expecting your fourth, however I feel ready to get off the prometrium roller coaster, I love the fact that it helps but these side effects SUCK!!!! Good Luck to all the prego mommas using this, like I said if it wasnt for my use of this in the past I would have any of my babies.: | F | 27 | 3 weeks | 3/19/2008 | 3 | heavy bleeding | acne, weight gain, bloated, moody, emotional, headaches | I have been on this medication for almost two months now and I am told to stay on it until I have an ablation (in two weeks). I hate being on it. I hate the way it makes me feel. However, it has kept the bleeding to a minimum. I'm very concerned about going off of it suddenly and what the withdrawals might be. | F | 43 | 2 months | 3/19/2008 | 4 | Low progesterone levels during preg | extreme nausea and fatigue | I had to take prometrium twice daily during my first pregnancy due to low progesterone levels. Although the side effects were terrible the out come seem to be great, I had a healthy 8 lb 9 oz boy! I am now pregnant once again and having to start the medicine all over, the side effects are still the same I just hope and pray the out some is just as great as the last time! | F | 26 | 14 weeks | 3/18/2008 | 4 | premenstrual syndrome | Fatigue: I take it at night one 100mg caplet, orally. Some fatigue but really not many side effects at all. | Prometrium at the 100 mg dose has significantly improved my severe PMS. Take on days 11-25. I still have some mood changes during the premenstrual phase, but much better. 200mg was too much and I was moody and aggressive, so went back to the 100 mg. My periods start now without a week of spotting prior to, the flow is lighter and only last for 3-4 days instead of 7-10 days. My progesterone levels were low. I do not use any estrogen. I highly recommend prometrium for severe PMS. | F | 45 | | 3/16/2008 | 3 | avoid miscarriage | Tiredness, fatigue, emotional, nauseous, bloated, un-motivated. | I started taking prometrium 200 mg 2X a day vaginally to avoid having another miscarriage. I am currently 10 weeks pregnant. Some of my symtoms could be normal pregnancy symptoms but I feel they are magnified due to the Prometrium. Worth it for a healthy baby though. I will go off at 14 weeks. | F | 28 | 2 months | 3/10/2008 | 3 | menopause with primarim | 200 mg. X 2 day. 14 days, extreme "drunk", dizzy, moody and anxious, bloating, gas | Not sure I like this stuff, not much better than the menopausal symptoms! | F | 49 | 5 months | 3/10/2008 | 1 | PCOS and Irregular periods | Dizziness and felt like I was high | Doctor perscribed 200mg and I was to take 2 capsules at bedtime. Ladies, I am here to tell you on March 7,2008 I took it for the very first time and 30 m inutes later I was dizzy and couldn't walk and felt like I was high. I was so spaced out. I contacted the on call doc at the office and he said to stop takin it. I got so flippin scared because I am a truck driver and it was crazy and scary feeling like that out here. | F | 26 | 1 days | 3/8/2008 | 5 | Balancing my depleted hormones | Absolutely none. I feel fabulous due to my "hormone revitalization". I am also on estriol cream, testosterone touche, pregnenolone and DHEA, Cortef for low adrenals and of course Armour thyroid. I haven't felt this good since my hysterectomy and thyroidectomy 15 years ago. | F | 55 | 7 months | 3/7/2008 | 3 | to start menstrual cycle | Very calm, almost like a relaxer, in a daze feeling | So far I've been taking this medicine for 3 days and I can tell a difference in myself. I feel more calm but very emotionally in the sense I can cry at the drop of a hat. No menses yet but do get cramping and some back pain. Hopefully this is all the side effects I get. I've been reading horror stories on here and its a bit freaking me out. Although I haven't had a menstrual cycle in 6 1/2 mos and I was told by Dr. that not having period could cause Cancer so I would rather have some annoying side effects then cancer. Good luck to you all.. | F | 28 | 3 days | 3/7/2008 | 2 | imbalance of hormones | palpitations, nausea, cough, suicidal thoughts and disconford on my left arm. I am taking Armor thyroid for almost 9 days and started prometrium 6 days ago I am calling my doctor will not take anymore i am really concern of side effects. | F | 52 | 6 days | 3/6/2008 | 4 | To induce period/PCOS | EXTREME fatigue, hunger (especially for sugar), felt "drunk" and very uncoordinated | I think that natural is better than synthetic, so I support the use of Prometrium. However, it does make it hard to function on a daily basis while taking this drug. | F | 26 | 7 days | 3/2/2008 | 3 | Prolonged heavy bleeding | So far, mild headaches and some stomach issues. | Went almost 7 months without a period then started bleeding really heavily. Dealt with it for 6 days before going to GYN. She prescribed 100mg daily of this drug, taken at night. Bleeding is less severe, but has not stopped yet. | F | 49 | 4 days | 3/2/2008 | 2 | excessive bleeding | mood changes, tired, weight gain | F | 39 | 3 months | 2/27/2008 | 1 | PCOS/Infertility | Tired, dizzy, thirsty, drunk feeling | I took it about a month ago to try an induce my cycle. All it did was make me feel awful. I was dizzy, extremely moody (which is very uncommon for me), and extremely tired. I didn't ever start my period....I am taking it again to try and induce a cycle. We'll see if it works this time. I don't have my hopes up. | F | 28 | 5 days | 2/26/2008 | 1 | FET | i am taking 200 mg 3X's a day. I feel drunk, dizzy, exhausted, unmotivated, and have double vision. However, after telling my nurse my side effects, she said to take it vaginally and side effects might change. I have not done that. | I am only taking this because my doctor said it will help pre and post transfer. | F | 32 | 11 days | 2/16/2008 | 3 | prevent miscariage | very jittery and anxious, prone to severe anxiety I think Prometrium intensifies it even though I am on Zoloft. My breasts are extremely sore as well. | F | 44 | 14 days | 2/15/2008 | 2 | heavy periods | Blotting, weight gain, dizziness, sleepiness and a feeling of unwellness, Tremors!!! | It did help with the heavy periods, while I was taking it. I gained about 30lb. I stopped taking it after 6 months as I did not feel well any more started losing weight like crazy, got tremors, racing heart, sweats, sleepless nights. Ended up getting digianosed with Graves Disease. I think that Prometrium caused this because it upset the balance of hormones in my body. So I don't recommend this drug. | F | 33 | 6 months | 2/13/2008 | 3 | PCOS/Infertility | bloating, cramps, sick-full-feeling, very gassy!! | This is my third time on it in a month and a half. I don't notice it really until I eat/drink something. Almost immediately after, I am breathing through the crampy sick feeling that can last from 10 minutes to one hour. | F | 31 | 12 days | 2/12/2008 |
