If you've taken prometrium, please come in...

Hi girls-

I was just prescribed prometrium (vaginally) and have a few questions:

1) does taking prometrium affect the length of your LP?

2) does taking prometrium affect your BBT?

I want to be aware of the above two issues, so that if there are any changes to my chart this cycle I don't think "OMG, I'm KU," if really it's just a change caused by the extra progesterone.

3) did you experience any side effects?

4) any other comments or advise?

TIA!!

    Hi girls-

    I was just prescribed prometrium (vaginally) and have a few questions:

    1) does taking prometrium affect the length of your LP? Can't really say. The times I took it were to end an annovulatory cycle

    2) does taking prometrium affect your BBT? Yes, it's progesterone, so don't be surprised if it causes a temp spike and then dumb FF gives you CHs.

    3) did you experience any side effects? The first time I took it I would take the pills in the morning. BAD IDEA. The most prominant s/e was mood swings and PMS x100 My period afterwards was really heavy, but it wasn't like that the other couple of times I've taken it. Feel free to look at my charts

    4) any other comments or advise? Take the pill(s) at night. It will help with any s/e

    1) does taking prometrium affect the length of your LP? Don't know. I was given to help start AF.

    2) does taking prometrium affect your BBT? Don't know this either.

    3) did you experience any side effects? Yes. I felt nauseated and super crabby the whole time I was on it. I felt awful.

    4) any other comments or advise? Take at night! Do not take in the morning! My pharmacist told me to take it at night because it made me super tired and upset my stomach.

    TIA!!
