Has anyone here ever taken Prometrium?

I just came back from one of my many appts with the doctor.

She gave me a prescription for Prometrium and Metformin.

I've been reading some horror stories about the Prometrium online. Anyone here like to share theirs? Or, the more happy stories, preferably? :)

    I haven't heard horror stories about Prometrium....and didn't really have problems when I took it.  My symptoms were sore, enlarged boobs, tired, and a bit more hungry than normal.  But, it wasn't too bad and did its job of bringing on AF.

    Good luck!

    I had no horror stories. Mild side effects, but no horror

    It makes me really sleepy, so I take it right before bed.

    It can take up to 14 days after the last pill for you to start bleeding, so don't worry until that point.

    I had no side effects at all.  I think my period arrived 3-4 days after taking the last pill both times I was on it.

    I don't have any horror stories.  I had no problems.  I took it twice...the first time AF came before my suggested dosage ended.  The second time it took a week and a half after I stopped taking it for AF to arrive.

    no horror stories.  Just very tired.  Though after a couple of days that side effect wore off.  I was taking it twice a day and felt okay with it.

    Progesterone in general makes me pretty fatigued (at times) and tends to make my facial break outs more nuts than they ever were in high school.

    Even with PCOS... I normally only get one significant blemish at a time, usually the kind that deep set into your skin. On the progesterone... I get crazy red splotches that turn into your standard pimple, blackheads, the whole 9. It like goes from my temples, down my jaw, around my chin, skips around both cheeks, and back up to my other temple. Oddly, I very rarely get acne on my forehead. ::shrugs::

    So beware. I just got a BFN and stopped my Progesterone suppositories about 5 days ago. Five days ago my face was a nightmare. Today and yesterday, I haven't had to wear any make up and it's all cleared up rather nicely.

    A little delayed response here... and I took provera, but in general the same thing.  I didn't have any major issues when I took it other then fatigue.  Until about a week after I finished the pill.  I thought I was going to claw my skin off because I broke out in a rash.  In the weirdest places . my butt, lower legs and face.  But that was an allergic reaction.  Oh and it took 14 days before AF showed up.  So don't freak out about those horror stories.  Just remember there are horror stories about each step of this sucky process if you read enough.  Hang in there!

    My first three times I took it I did not get AF.  Then last month I took it and Meformin and I got AF before I was done taking the Prometrium.  I also was drinking Pom juice while taking it.   I am so tired when I take the Prometrium.  I could sleep all day and night!  The Metformin made me really sick though.  I now take all three pills a night and I do just fine.  GL you get used to them both.  It will be worth the s/e in the end!!
