| 4 | to regulate my period | leg pain, fatigue, bloated, chest pain, night sweats, sensitivity to heat | This is my second time taking this drug. Both times at 100 mg. First time after I finished my 10 pills... I got my period almost 2 weeks later. It is expected that you get your period within 1 week's time. Then the following month, I got my period pretty much almost on time... only 2 days late. But then the following month, I skipped my period. So then I took another 10 pills... this time getting my period within 4 days. Both periods directly after taking this drug have been extremely painful. So painful that Tylenol didn't work. My doctor recommended that I take Motrin instead... works much better on the pain. I hope my cycles will be on time from now on. | F | 27 | 3 weeks | 10/5/2005 | 4 | Irregular bleeding between periods | The only side effect I have had is weight gain. I feel bloated all the time. | It stopped my breakthrough bleeding. | F | 34 | 21 days | 10/4/2005 | 4 | excessive bleeding | it made me very tired, but I took it at bedtime, so that was fine. | I was told that I was in premenopause beforehand and I took it for 4 months. I also removed all body products containing parabens and I believe this is what caused me to have an excessive amount of estrogen and a lack of complimentary progestrone. Since stopping the prometrium I havent gotten my period for 3 months. Could it have put me into menopause? | F | 52 | 4 months | 9/1/2005 | 1 | oral progesterones are not effectiv | Progesterone works best when applied topically in the form or a USP progesterone cream. When applied in the suggested amount, which is about 1/4 tsp/day, it's the same amount the body makes. There are no bad side affects and the positive benefits are phenomonal--eases endometriosis, cramping, regulates periods, counter-balances estrogen and can help with fertility issues. | F | 51 | | 8/27/2005 | 4 | Absence of periods | No side effects | I have been on it for 3 months now taking 200 mg for 10 days every month and I got my period about after the 6th day of taking it. Also last month I ovualted which I was hopeful for!! Im very satisfied. | F | 27 | 3 months | 8/5/2005 | 1 | To start period | Extreme irritability !! Constant bleeding, calf pain, insomnia, bloating, weight gain. | Took 200mg x 10 days usually start period last day or up to 4 days later but then I spot and bleed until the next month then my period lasts about 2 weeks straight. I'm due to take med now but still bleeding. | F | 34 | 6 months | 8/1/2005 | 2 | induce menstrual cycle- have PCOS | Extreme dizziness, nausea and moodiness. Took before bed. | I did not have withdrawal bleeding because I ovulated while taking the medication. I was told it would not cause ovulation. | F | 31 | 7 days | 7/23/2005 | 4 | regulate cycles | I take the pill at night & get very dizzy so I go to sleep within an hour of taking the pill just to make the dizziness go away. When I wake up I still feel alittle dizzy. I'm very moody now. | A couple of days after I take the pill I get my cycle. It does its job pretty good. | F | 22 | 3 months | 7/20/2005 | 2 | Regulate periods | Non-stop dizziness, forgetfulness, crying/moody with no warning, weight gain. | I thought that I would find relief from 5 months of non-stop bleeding, but since being on this drug (pill form), I have had 10 days of no period in the 1.5 months I've been on it. | F | 44 | 40 days | 7/19/2005 | 3 | help with implantation | Sleepy, nauseas, terrible diahera, fatigue, light headed, sore breasts, acne, burning in vagina. | I took the pill vaginal 200 mg 2 times a day morning and night. May have OHSS from fertility meds. | F | 32 | 10 days | 7/12/2005 | 1 | Infertility | Feeling psychotic. Highly anxious, irritable, depressed, uncontrollable weeping. Also I'm experiencing lightheadedness. | Please contact your doctor if you are having the same symptoms. | F | 31 | 2 days | 7/1/2005 | 4 | irregular periods | sleepy and dizzy after taking-was asleep in an hour. take at bedtime only! also worked as a diuretic for me. so far so good | did regulate cycle for several months and does help with premenstrual insomnia | F | 49 | 12 days | 6/9/2005 | 2 | induce period | low blood suger, craved sweet things, cramps, tiredness, very very emotional... | dosage only at 100 mg one pill before bed for 12 days. no period yet. and have taken it 10 days. i won't continue because i am tired of side effects and still have no results. i had rather not have a period! | F | 28 | 12 days | 5/25/2005 | 2 | Induce Period | Fast asleep within 30 minutes of taking the capsules. Had to take 400 mg for 10 days -- at night. | No extreme side effects -- like I had read about. No period either though. And have received much conflicting info on how long it takes for withdrawal bleeding to begin. | F | 34 | 10 days | 5/22/2005 | 3 | infertility | extremely tired - not myself - moody and emotional - feel like I am in a fog | unsure of its results yet - taking it vaginally rather than orally per instruction of dr. | F | 27 | 6 days | 5/4/2005 | 1 | 400mg for 10 days to induce period | My blood sugar level seems to be out of control and I am not a diabetic (although I may be a bit hypo-glycemic). I take 200mg in the am with breakfast and 200mg in the pm before bed. I am extremely dizzy and feel slightly disoriented just after I eat my lunch. I find it hard to concentrate. | I crave anything sweet. Find myself substituting meals with cookies and cake. Also after lunch, if I don't have something extremely sweet, I feel like I will faint. I have a hard time making it past the 8th day. And I don't have an impressive period at all. | F | 53 | 10 days | 4/5/2005 | 1 | To induce periods | Dizziness | Took it for 10 days after waiting for periods for 11 week after D and C. nothing happened at all. | M | 28 | 10 days | 3/29/2005 | 3 | prevent miscarriage | DIZZY! room was spinning this morning when i woke up but subsided a lot | F | 42 | 7 days | 3/9/2005 | 5 | induce period | i took it at night, did not notice any side effects, could be because i have pcos and that on it's own has a million side effects. | i took it for 7 days and exactly 5 days after i finished the med i got my period which was normal. ive also taken provera before too, that one made me very moody. | F | 28 | 7 days | 3/7/2005 | 4 | amenorrhea | little bit of dizziness, some pain in lower pelvic region,not too bad, some depression | I would recommend this medication due to the fact that is so close to Progesterone naturally made in my own body.
