Pregnancy Info HOME

Good afternoon ladies! Well...I hope that everyone is doing wonderful and getting ready to enjoy the weekend! Here is some thoughts on the latest with prometrium. You all know that I am going to do this cycle with NO prometrium...reason is, I got pregnant with my son without it and the side effects are making me feel like crap lately. I don't know if any of you have noticed this, but I have gained like almost 10 pounds in the last 6 cycles that I have been on it...YEAH...CRAZY! I am not eating any more than normal, if anything less because I feel like crap. I just finished my period 2 days ago and am on day 7 now and getting ready to start the "deed" today, and have already dropped 4-5 pounds. This is exactly what happens...once you stop it and get your period you lose crazy weight but as soon as you start it up again on day 16-17 you blow right back up! So, no more for me...I am hoping that the specialist I see next friday agrees and lets me try with nothing. Secondly I was doing some extensive research with my husband a few of his doctor colleagues and we discovered that there has been a higher incidence of a condition called hypospadias in infant boys whose mother took the prometrium in the first 14 weeks of pregnancy...Look up the condidtion for the full description, but all I can tell you is that really struck a nerve at home because just last month my 2 1/2 year old Daniel was diagnosed with medial stenosis which is similar to the above disorder and my husband and I look at each other and went HHHMMMMM! I am wondering if it had anything to do with the prometrium the first time around....he has to have it surgically corrected on the 17th of this month so please pray for him as I am a basket case!!! More on that later:) So...that is where I am at right now...bally280 and avollmer, thanks for the advice! Keep me posted! Chantal....maybe you and I are doing something wrong!!! Let me know what you are up to with the prometrium and we can chat about our options...talk soon everyone!
