Prometrium question

| My RE's office just called. One week after IUI#1 (no meds) my progesterone is 7.2, which is low. They've called in a scrip for prometrium. Anyone have any experience with prometrium or with a progesterone supplement? Anything I should expect - side effects, etc? Advice appreciated! |

| I'm taking it vaginally twice a day after my iui........ the only side effects I have had have had has been a funky, thick discharge (sorry for the tmi) |

| Also taking vaginally twice a day after IUI. I really hate it. I get pregnancy type symptoms (headache, cramps) when on it so besides being uncomfortable, it plays with your mind. But everyone is different so hopefully your side effects will be minimal. I wear a panty liner since will leak out a bit. Also may delay your period. |

i hated prometrium. have taken it vaginally and orally. orally it made me tired, and i was scared i wasn't getting enough of the supplement. vaginally - i had a constant yeast infection EVERY time i used it. i think i must have been allergic. i am taking endometrin now, and it is much better - no infections, and it has an applicator...would recommend this way over the prometrium anyday....
oh and yes all progesterone always gives me preganancy symptoms... |

Gross discharge, pregnancy symptoms (bloating, cramping, sore breasts, headaches), ichy butt. But you'll get use to it.

I had the same symptoms plus really really tired to the point I had to close my office door and take a nap at my desk for 20 mins. |

| I had the same symptoms as above -- fatigue, moodiness, weight gain, etc. But it was much better the second cycle -- maybe my body developed a tolerance? They still leaked though... |

| Prometrium gave me a yeast infection too. Endometrian is way better and way less messy. |
