Pregnancy Info HOME

Thanks Chantal...I have never done it this way before! I am really hopeful, but don't want to get my hopes too high in case it doesn't happen again. Did you do it this way too and have success? This will be my 4th month trying but the first one with the prometrium. I have a luteal phase deficiency...so this should help. Let me know if you too have done it this way and got lucky:)

Hi again Jonelle; (love that name) This will be my 2nd month trying it this way! I haven't been successful yet...but, this is my month! I am currently ovulating and will start my BULLETS tomorrow! The ovulation kit actually worked for me this month. I'll be due to start my period on March 7th so, I'll do a test then. I know I will have to continue the BULLETS!!! You are in the same shoes as me right now so, keep me posted on your progress this month!

Hey Chantal...I have always had positive ovulation kit results. I always have an Lh surge btween day 12 and 14...I had my surge on Tuesday...did the deed yesterday and have to start my prometrium tomorrow...which is day 17. I am due for my period on the 5th of March...so fingers crossed! I am really nervous that it won't work. Is this your first time trying or do you have other children? I kept using the prometrium until my 12th week in my first pregnancy and am 100% sure that they will have me do it again this time around. I truly believe that it is a miracle drug for all of crazy ladies whi need a little bit more help:) The other weird thing is that last time I only had to use it vaginally in the morning but this time they are making me do it twice daily. I don't know what to expect for side effects with the increased dosage. Do you get any side effects? Let me know and talk to you soon:)

Hi Jonelle; I actually don't get any side effects at all (except tender breasts). I use 2 tablets 3 times a day! yup! morning; noon and night. I don't have any children yet. My husband and I have been trying for aprox. 6 years. I've had 6 miscarriages in total. eeekk I just realized all the "6's" in this equation. I had a "septum" uterus (which means it was divided practically in half) the fetus would attach itself to the skin that was dividing and there was NO BLOOD flow to that area and I would miscarry. I had MAJOR surgery to reconstruct my uterus almost 3 years ago and since have had 2 more miscarriages. I was only prescribed prometrium for those 2 last miscarriages but, as I was explaining before; it was a little too late by the time I would get in to see the Doctor. You and I are just about on the exact dates...how funny! So, I hope we can keep in touch and now follow our progress this way. Soon we'll be talking about our MORNING sickness! Take Care

Hey Chantal...thanks for the response. All I can say is that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I sure do hope that this round works for you especially! I know how hard it is to get pregnant and sympathize with you deeply. I took my first prometrium this morning around 6:30 and so far so good! I am taking one in the am and one in the pm...200 mg tablets. So positive thoughts girl...and yes, we are on almost the identical schedule...therefore, I know what you were doing this week...HA HA HA! PLEASE stay in touch as you are a great relief to talk to...Fingers crossed:)

Ah Jonelle; my thoughts and prayers are with you as well! ha...ha...yes I also know what you were up to! *wink*
Big Hugs!

Here's one for all of you...I am on my 3rd day of prometrium...200mg twice a day. So I am at day 20...therefore about 5 dpo give or take. For the past 2 nights when I am sleeping I am feeling like I am going to start my period with those type of cramps. It lasts for about 5 minutes and then goes away and persists like that all night. I am exceptionally bloated and very tired. Have any of you had this experience on the prometrium? I am curous to know what is going on seeings how I am 7 days until I am due...let me know and best wishes to all!

Jonelle - you may be pregnant. Tiredness and crampiness (implantatin feelings) for me started at about 6 days post-ovulation.

Hey Chantal...just checking in to see how you are feeling! I am experiencing some cramping as though I am going to get my period but not due until next Sunday. I have been relaly tired lately yoo and was wondering if you feel this way. How many days have you been on your prometrium? This is my third day...hope you are feeling good...Talk to you soon!

Hi ladies. can someone please tell me how to get these pills prometrium? What do they look like? how long do I take them? I have been having alot of problems carrying a child to term. Are they expensive?

Hi Jonelle! Funny....cuz' this is the first time I actually experience some symtoms! Last night...(this may sound crazy...but, I felt as though I was going to have an orgasm but suddenly I cramped up REALLY REALLY bad. I was asleep and this woke me up very abruptly. I'm not tired but my breasts are still very tender. I have only been taking prometrium for 4 days now (2 -3x a day) I can't wait to TEST...I really hope things work out for us!!

Jonelle...one more symptom! BLOATING is an understatement. I don't fit into ANY of my pants. I still weigh 130lbs...but, my belly is really protruding. It all makes sense; it's making everything fluffy in there right?

Hey Chantal...you are too funny:) I am so glad that others are having symptoms. I have been SUPER bloated...I thought that I just put on weight, but I guess not. I too weigh about what you do...139...and I am so bummed because nothing looks good anymore. I am on my 6th day of the little yellow pill and also have breast tenderness and am more tired than usual. Now, you said that you have never had symptoms before? That is kind of encouraging then that maybe something is doing what it is supposed to in there! I also about 4 days ago experienced period like cramps at night when I would go to bed and then came and went. They only lasted about 3-4 nights like that and last night and the night before weren't there...could they have been implantation cramping? I don't know because I don't remember that with my first pregnancy. I am really keeping the fingers crossed for the both of us...let me know what else you are thinking...I am due Sunday, so 5 more days to go! Talk to you soon:)

Hi Jonelle; I keep looking at sites that describe the stages of fertilization (while I'm at work; hee..hee...) and I do believe the cramps could be due to implantation! I'm due next Wednesday! Someone said to me today: "Well it's good that you are able to get pregnant!"...I was ready to kick her in the throat! I just said: YOU have no idea. Sure I can get pregnant but I am never able to maintain the pregnancy. So really; IT's WORSE. She had in-vetro because she couldn't get pregnant and was successful in having a little one because her issue wasn't in carrying but instead ,conceiving. Sorry for venting; I'm a little irritated! I'm trying to stay positive!

Hey Chantal...ok, here's one for you: Like I said before, today is my 6th day on the prometrium. The past 5 days I have noticed that when I insert the prometrium (vaginally) that it is SUPER moist up there and that it is very wide and open...too much detail I know...but today it has totally changed, especially tonight. When I had my finger up there it was extremely tight and I only got my finger about half way up and it felt very swollen. So...here is the question...do you feel that way or have you noticced a change up there:) It is weird and In don't know if it is normal...but then again what is normal for us! Let me know what you are thinking...and feeling:) Talk to you soon!

Hi Jonelle! Girl what you are feeling is totally normal. It's WORKING! I feel the fluffyness and tightness 2 days after inserting them...but, I take them more frequently than you. I'm always worried that I'm not inserting them deep enough!? While I'm at work I insert in the morning and at lunch and I sit at my desk upright with my legs up on a chair; when I get home at night before bed I lay down in my bed or couch with a pillow propped underneath my bum to keep the bullets deep in there. I hope my sitting at work isn't jeopardizing anything? I must tell you also that my face is totally breaking out; big pimples I've never had before! hummmm....
4 more days for you and 6 for me!!! Yay!
