Don't take it unless few very very unknown specialist say you need it. I miscarried two days ago and I was taking prometrium. My doctor put me on it just because I am over 40 which doesn't justify it. we had naturally conceived and I didn't have any history of miscarriage or early birth.
She put me on progesterone without measuring my progesterone level and that might have been the reason for my miscarriage. That is a very serious medication so be careful.

I'm 7w and my doctor just prescribed 100mg of Prometrium on Friday. I have to insert it vaginally 2x a day. We did find a heart beat on Friday as well. I knew that my progesterone levels were low with my last two m/c but this doctor was the first to listen to me and actually test it...I have another appointment today I guess for her to just look and maybe test my progesterone levels....I feel it's safe to take and better than not taking anything at all and risking another m/c.

I also thought I would never have a successful pregnancy until I found a great OB that had thought enough to check my hormone levels. I had to take prometrium orally during the first 12 weeks of both my pregnancies with my sons and carried with no problems. I am 34 now and thought my baby days were over until I recently found out I am pregnant again. This time I am taking prometrium vaginally and hope it works because this is my 9th pregnancy and I have only managed two pregnancies so far. Easy irritability and vivid dreams (among other things) just comes with the territory of pregnancy without prometrium but I also have issues with bloating while on prometrium and agree that it is a minor irritation I can handle.

Well, all I know is I have been pregnant 3 times in seven months and thought having two miscarriages meant I could never maintain a pregnancy.  I am taking Prometrium every night and who knows what is responsible but I am nine weeks and the US showed a beating heart of 160/min!  So...I'll take it.  Who knows whether it is the Prometrium or not but what if it is? It's worth taking in my book.  It's really too bad that I feel like I can never get totally excited because i am always thinking miscarriage might happen :(.  I feel for everyone.  I do have to say though that wow am I easily irritated and upset.  I sleep like a rock which I never do, and have amazing vivid dreams.  I am also quite bloated.  I believe all of these things are side effects, but they aren't so bad.  Maybe the "bloating" is my body changing..who knows.  Very stressful to not know what's happening in your own body.  Wish me luck.
