| 3 | increase progestrone while pregnant | Dry mouth, insomnia, breast soarness, bloating, cramps. | I was prescribed Prometrium to take as soon as I was pregnant and my progesterone level started to drop. I am very concerned with taking any type of drug while pregnant, especially when is says on the side of the bottle "do not take if pregnant". I don't want to miscarry, but then again I do not want to risk the health of the baby. Please e-mail me if you've taken this drug for the same reason and how the health of your baby is. | F | 37 | 7 days | 2/22/2007 | 3 | Alleviate Side Effects from Lupron | First 2 times I took it, I got VERY dizzy and sleepy; like I was drunk. After the first 2 times, I did not experience this at all anymore. I am currently on Lupron Depot to stop my periods to treat endometriosis. It gave me horrible menopausal side effects: migraines, terrible insomnia/sleep disturbances, hot flashes. The Prometrium was to help alleviate these. | (Dosage is 100 mg/day). Prometrium helped with the migraines and sleep disturbances but did not do anything for the hot-flashes and I have gained nearly 10 lbs. It is nearly all water, from what I can tell - it is definitely "bloating" - my doctor has prescribed a water pill and I feel a bit better, but haven't lost any weight. Also, my blood pressure has gone up substantially since being on Prometrium - but not sure whether this is Lupron or Prometrium. | F | 42 | 45 days | 2/18/2007 | 1 | No Period for 5 Months | Extreme irritation, depression, very tender breasts, bad cramps, dizziness, tired. After the pill nauseous. | It has been 2 weeks since the last day of my pills and I have no signs of my period. I took 200 mg for 10 days only because I haven’t had my period for 5 months. All my blood test came out normal, so why my Dr would put me on these terrible pills I don’t know. If nothing it wrong with me other than not menstruating I would rather let nature take its course. These pills made me so irritable (luckily my husband is a very understanding man), everybody that crossed my path pissed me off. I'm not sure what to do next. | F | 28 | 10 days | 2/16/2007 | 4 | Low progesterone during pregnancy | Significant abdominal cramping - more than used to with past pregnancies. Have not experienced any tiredness or dizziness. It has increased breast tenderness. | F | 29 | 1 weeks | 2/14/2007 | 4 | to start my period | Not much. About 40 minutes after taking it I would get dizzy. Towards the end of my 10 days I was having a few mild pains in my lower abdomen and had an achy lower back. | I've had irregular periods for years, then I missed three months in a row. Went to a doctor and she gave me prometrium. I took two 200mg at bedtime for ten days. 3 days after I finished my 10 days I started my period. I hope it starts, on time, on it's own next month. | F | 23 | 10 days | 2/13/2007 | 3 | infertility increase uterine lining | tired,bloating,breast tenderness,moody | feel very tired and bloated.taking 100 mg three times a day to increase lining in uterus to help increase chance of pregnancy.Unsure if it has worked or not, I'll see next week. | F | 35 | 14 days | 2/13/2007 | 2 | Abnormal Period | EXTREME weight gain (10 pounds in 6 days), bloated, and very very moody. | I had taken PRovera twice before and it was horrible. This seems to be easier mood swing wise, but as for bloating and all that- no good. | M | 22 | 12 days | 2/6/2007 | 4 | Preventing Miscarriage | Initially abdominal cramps (pretty bad) and after that came dizziness and a few days later very drunk "messed up" feeling...was told there would be no side effects but it feels awful. I am willing to finish the dosage though if it means having a full term pregnancy. | Taking 100 mg twice a day until 11 weeks of pregnancy. | F | 22 | 7 weeks | 2/5/2007 | 3 | Infertility/Low Progesterone | Breast Tenderness, Abdominal Cramps, Ovarian Cramps, Bloating, Fatigue, Slight Depression, Uncontrollable Crying, Dizzyness/Fainting | F | 28 | 30 times | 1/24/2007 | 3 | Pregnancy with low progesterone lvl | Abdominal aching,back pain,dizziness,drowsiness,headache. | Prescribed due to progesterone levels being low during pregnancy. I'm not real surprised by this diagnosis since I've rarely ever had a regular cycle. (Only one year when I had a roommate who ran like clockwork pulled me onto hers.)It has intensified all the pregnancy related things I've been feeling for the past 10 weeks. I'm hoping my levels go up around week 12 and I can discontinue this med. | F | 29 | 4 days | 1/22/2007 | 5 | Start my period | I took it at night before bed as directed. Had no side effects. | I stopped taking my birth control pill 3 months ago and never started my period again. The dr. prescribed me 100mg pills to be taken once a day for 10 days. On the ninth day I got my period and it lasted for 5 days and was normal for me. My period is due again in a few days- hope it comes naturally. | F | 28 | 9 days | 1/17/2007 | 3 | Support pregnancy,safety precaution | Sore, tender breasts, abdominal cramps, dizziness, fatigue, vaginal discharge, irritable | Had lap/hyst for removal of septum in uterus, prometrium to support luteal phase. Test results for progesterone in luteal phase were 9.9 out of 10. RE prescribed prometrium as a safety precaution and so I would find out earlier if I'm pregnant or not. | F | 29 | 3 months | 1/15/2007 | 5 | DVT coumadin induced bleeding | Sleepiness | I began taking this because I was bleeding for 30 days after I had been on coumadin due to DVT. I had been on coumadin for 2 1/2 years. This was what cause the bleeding to stop. I have been on ever since at 100 mg each night for just about five years now. | F | 43 | 4 years | 1/5/2007 | 1 | Because I was on Femring | My breasts became so swollen and sore. I gained 8 to 10 lbs. and my period went on forever. I am moody and almost passed out twice. I hate this hormone and would not have EVER taken it had I known how it would effect me. I feel so fat and terrible about myself. I am sure a lot of it is depression because of the med. | F | 49 | 6 months | 1/1/2007 | 3 | post IVF embryo transfer | cramping, bloating, nausea, mild fatigue, vaginal discharge, | 200mg capusule vaginally 3x day, also taking estrace 6mg daily and fragmin (blood thinner). Am pretty sure the cramping is due to the prometrium. (hopefully not to getting my period!) | F | 33 | 5 days | 12/8/2006 | 3 | To induce period | Acne around chin area, very sore breasts for about 3 days, some cramping. Sleepiness after taking the pill. | I got a light period while on prometrim after about 8 days, then it stopped. I finished my 14 days worth of pills 3 days ago and no period yet. Still waiting... | F | 29 | 14 days | 12/7/2006 | 2 | PCOS, maintain pregnancy | numbness in my face, dizziness, very light-headed feeling | I originally took this drug to regulate my period. I took the pill for 10 days and was told I would start my cycle in that time frame. I didn't get my period until 35 days AFTER I had finished the pills. The second time I took it was while I was pregnant, to try and help keep the pregnancy. I had an allergic reaction to it and eventually miscarried. | F | 25 | 11 days | 11/17/2006 | 4 | Post Embryo Transfer/IVF_ICSI | I have breast tenderness, and mild cramping. Feels like I just did 1000 crunches. Some joint pain although not troublesome and short in length. | I have been taking 200mg vaginally 3 times a day to help with the lining of the uterus. It has been 4 days since the transfer and I have had breast tenderness for the past 2 days and cramping throughout. Although some cramping may be from the procedure. Otherwise, I have not notices anything that I can directly associate with this medicine yet. | F | 34 | 4 days | 10/27/2006 | 3 | Induce Period/PCOS/infertility | Out of body feeling, drunk feeling, loss of appetite, lightheaded, dizzy and extremely sleepy, I have to take before going to bed or it makes me feel very strange. | I have only been taking it for 6 days now. I am supposed to take 7 pills and then hopefull start my period. After that Clomid- praying for just one baby!! | F | 31 | 7 days | 10/25/2006 | 5 | PCOS, Infertility | I have only been on the drug for just the first 10 days however after being off of it I have noticed extreme breast tenderness and slight abdominal cramping likely from getting ready to start menstral cycle. Otherwise have been completely satisfied with the drug. Take 1 pill orally at night seem to sleep better. | I am also on Glucophaghage XR 500mg 3x daily to try to balance insulin levels in system since being diagnosed with polycystic ovarian sydrome to try to help with ovulation. Please let e-mail me if you have been placed on a same drug combination for infertility. | F | 27 | 10 days | 10/12/2006 |
