I had to take Prometrium because my cycles were getting all screwed up and I wasn't ovulating. The month I took it, I conceived the next cycle and had a successful pregnancy. I had a m/c about 5 months before that, so I believe the Prometrium helped me sustain the pregnancy. Prometrium is a progesteron supplement, the lack of progesterone can lead to m/c, so it is supposed to help with keeping the pregnancy. Like the others said, around the end of the first trimester the placenta takes over and you no longer need the supplments. I on the other hand, only took the prometrium BEFORE my cycle and the doctor said since I took it before that there was no need for me to continue on it - and everything was fine for me.
It helps try to maintain the pregnancy until the placenta takes over around 9 or 10 weeks.
My friend has had several miscarriages and sees an re and a high risk ob...she was put on prometrium to help with progesterone levels to promote a healthy pregnancy...therefore, I don't think it causes miscarriages and I would say it is safe while ttc although I am making assumptions based on my friend's situation....best to ask your doc or pharmacist.
i am not sure i was not told of any risks with this perscription i was just told not to take no more than doctor prescribed... sry i am not much help
yes I misspelled it sorry, What are the risks involved with taking this and TTC?
as joy rennee said if its prometrium i have takin it as a progesterone supplement and my ob gave it to me to help me keep my pregnancy bc i go into preterm labor and etc i have been pregnant 3 times and only one baby... i was on prometrium until 13 wks was then weened off of it and put a cerclage in and had a healthy 9lb 8oz baby and she was two weeks early lol
Do you mean Prometrium? If so, that is just a progesterone supplement. If you didn't misspell than I am not familiar with that particular drug.
