+++KellyRN or others with spotting/bleeding on Prometrium+++

RobinR91 · January 2012

Hi All,

As I move closer to my beta on Monday, I'm trying to stay positive but last night around 11 I had the TINIEST bit of spotting...tiniest. The optimistic side of me is trying to convince myself that it could be late implantation bleeding, but the realistic side of me knows that at 14dpiui its most likely AF trying to show up but I keep suppressing with Prometrium.

Kelly, from lurking I remember you had bleeding while on this fantastic crap, didn't you? What did your Dr tell you to do? Of course this happens to me on Saturday, when my dr/nurses aren't there. If AF comes full force...keep taking the prometrium until my blood test? Or stop it once AF comes.

To make things MORE complicated, I have a WTF scheduled with my RE on Friday. I was really hoping that would be CD2,3,or4 (which it would be if I stopped taking prometrium after my beta on Monday) and I wouldn't have to miss a treatment cycle.

If AF comes, do I stop taking the pills? Keep it up until Monday?

TIA

I am dpiui 12 on progesterone as well. I bleed for an hour dpiui 9. My re said they weren't worried about it and to keep taking the progesterone and test on my scheduled day. This morning I had blood on my applicator (sorry tmi). It worries me but my mom bleed when she was pregnant with both me and my brother so it does happen. Side note i have really irregular periods and bleed a lot, they think it is my cervix bleeding not a period. That might be what is happening here too. Hope this help!

Thanks so much for your quick reply! This does make me feel better...its so funny that ANYTHING out of the ordinary I freak out about during this whole fertility treatment part of my life. I also had the TINIEST bit of pink on the applicator...we will see! I'm glad your DR wasn't worried. Good luck to you! Thanks again.

I had bleeding 11dpIUI, almost like a full period and it stopped after about 2 days. I think my period tried to start, but the doses of Prometrium held it off from starting fully. I was to continue my Prometrium until my blood test verified at 14dpIUI that I was indeed not pregnant.

One of my books, A Few Bad Eggs, is so-written by a fertility doctor or nurse (I can't remember which one), and she specifically stated to never stop progesterone just because you think your period has come. To always verify with a test. I would think by 14dpIUI, a blood test would come back accurate.

Taking this cycle off, and then back at it next cycle, unless my second opinion appt goes differently than I expect.
