PROMETRIUM  (PROGESTERONE):  Progesterone is a type of female hormone (progestin). This medication is similar to the progesterone that your body naturally makes and is given to replace the hormone when your body is not making enough of it. In women who are not pregnant and not going through menopause, this medication is used to restore normal menstrual periods that have stopped for several months (amenorrhea). Progesterone is also used as part of combination hormone replacement therapy with estrogens to reduce menopause symptoms (e.g., hot flashes). Progesterone is added to estrogen replacement therapy to reduce the risk of cancer of the uterus. This medication is not for use in children. Progesterone must not be used to test for pregnancy.   FDA Approval Date: 1999-10-15 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 1  insomnia Put on this by my naturopath so I assumed it was safe. Foolish me! Slept terrible and woke up with a raging headache, nauseated and just feeling very strange. Decided that since I don't tolerate meds well, it isn't worth feeling awful 24/7 just to try to sleep better. Threw it away and will never try HRT again--will go back to using my natural progesterone cream that doesn't have any side-effects. F 56 1 days

 5  PMDD Water Retention AMAZING!! Had horrible PMDD. It's completely gone. Not only is the PMDD gone but all the anxiety I was experiencing the rest of the month that I thought was normal is gone as well. I feel like a completely new person. I could be the poster child! My doctor put me on a low dose water pill which has alleviated the water retention. Also, my appetite has gone down tremendously. Its a win win for me! F 48 2 months

 5  Sustain pregnancy Have had 2 m/c and a hard time getting pregnant. This medication makes me feel so calm and mellow I'd keep taking it, besides if it lets me carry my baby to term I don't mind. It does make me super tired but I work from home so I'm lucky I don't have to even dress up and can stay in yoga pants all day! It does scare me to read about birth defects though F 31 2 months

 2  Jump Start a Cycle - no cycle 7 yrs I have not noticed any side effects. I have not gotten a period. My doctor recently upped my dose to 300mg per day, rather than 200. and increasing my estradial to double - thinking my lining wasnt thickening and nothing to shed. I really need to start getting periods, to start ovulating, to get pregnant. Anyone else have this situation? i am 35. no period since 2005. F 35 60 days

 4  Perimenapausal symptoms hot flashes Gas pains in chest near heart daily. Acid reflux just started. Of course Thanksgiving could have contributed to that too. Migraine headaches located behind right eye. But have history of both acid reflux & migraines. I have not had a period for a few years. I had been on Femhrt 1/5 for about a year to treat hot flashes and waking up every few hours. It seemed to help a bit with flashes and sleeping but husband and I noticed I was becoming very short fused. New Gyn put me on estradiol 1 mg under tongue in AM and Prometrium 100 mg at bedtime. Felt better almost immediately. My only worries are the gas pains and continued migraines. F 48 25 days

 4  To jump start my period Some nights when I took it I got drowsy, however it only last for about 2 hours. During the last few nights I got bloated. I was prescribed 400mg of prometrium, the pharmacy didn't have 400mg so I was given 200mg and just doubled up. I took it for 10 nights, its best you take it at night because it causes drowsiness. I started bleeding 2 nights after stopping the medicine. I'm pretty sure my doctor will prescribe it again next month, we're trying to make my cycles regular again after they just suddenly decided to skip 3 months. I will have no problems taking this medicine again. It did exactly what it was suppose to do! F 25 10 days

 5  Taking this with Divigel Estrogen A strange skin sensitivity on my hip area that went away in about a week. That's all. No other side effects. I look forward to taking this at night, as it gives me a sense of calm - not sleepy - but rather more like I had a glass of wine. Just calm. I do not experience any sleepyness or grogginess in morning. I have to take this because it offsets the effects of Estrogen gel. F 49 1 months

 3  Stop frequent menstruation Gained 17 lbs in a month, severe depression, major bloat, Knocked me out within 30 minutes of taking it. Stronger than other sleeping pills. I had almost constant periods for about 5 months and was feeling very fatigued from the loss of blood. Prometrium stopped the bleeding and kept me from having a period from May until October. The only problem is I gained so much weight while on it and I was horribly depressed. I ran into an ex boyfriend recently and he asked me how I was and if I still had to take "that hormone." He told me he had never seen me that sad or bloated and was happy to see me these days being so happy. F 31 21 days
