Could this page be updated with some info about Endometrin? It seems to have some different side effects (spotting/bleeding), and I was definitely a little freaked when I saw it was a chalky pill similar to a very large Tylenol.

I was put on Endometrium suppositories after my IVF cycle. After a week and a half, my husband and I tried to have sex and I felt a horrible burning sensation. We had a chemical pregnancy, and afterwards we stopped the suppositories. Now it has been several weeks after I stopped the progesterone and yet when we tried to have sex again I still felt some burning. Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas what to do?

I stopped taking it, and now haven't gotten a period. Anyone know how long its supposed to take to get a period? When should I worry?

I’ve been taking it vaginally for about 11 days now. My breasts have been extremely tender, ever since right before ovulation (I’m 12 dpo). Is this a result of the prometrium? Or something else? (Hoping for BFP in 3 days!)

I’m taking prometrium (orally) 2x/day because my mid-luteal phase progesterone was borderline (9.6). The night pill is fine, since I just go to bed, but the morning pill makes me so dizzy that I can’t get any work done. I’m hesitant to switch to insertion, because I don’t want to deal with the mess and hell it’s hard enough to feel sexy during IF even w/out this. Any suggestions?

I used prometrium vaginally (200mg before bed) for the first time this last cycle and just a warning that some women can actually get their period despite being on the progesterone. Let me tell you that it’s unexpected when you were anticipating having to do hpts to figure out when to stop the pills.

We are on our 3rd round of clomid with the trigger shot of HcG and IUI. Today was the IUI and I am to start the prometrium vaginally once at night and once in the morning until I take the test on the 26th to see if the IUI worked.

So my question is - was the REI OB right to perscribe this to me?? From what I read on web md it is a med that helps get your period or control it. How does this help with me getting pregnant?? I know the REI OB said something about lessening the chances of a miscarriage (I miscarried Oct 07 at 20 weeks) And it says not to take this med when pregnant?

I'm confused.
Thanks,
E

Could Prometrium mask any m/s symptoms? I have a history of early m/c(s). I am currently 6 weeks pregnant and have had fairly consistent cramping for the last 4 days, but have not spotted. I wasn’t sure if anyone knew if Prometrium would prevent spotting.

That was a quick reply! I stopped taking them last night, convinced I was not pg. I had all sorts of symptoms last week, then nothing. Can my bbt reflect ‘leftover’ traces of progesterone though?

Anon–I don’t know if you’ll come back to check, but email me if you have other questions.

I would call your doctor and ask that they draw a beta hCG test to check for a pregnancy. If you are pregnant, you’ll keep taking the suppositories. If not, you’ll stop them and your period will come after a few days. The suppositories can keep your period from coming.
