My husband and I are trying to get pregnant ... I'm on Metformin, Femara, vitamins and now Prometrium.  We tried on all the right days and my not-so-patient self took 3 pregnancy tests before my period should have started.  In two the control box didn't show anything so I assume they didn't work.  In the third I accidentally bought the non-early test and it was negative.  My period started very light two days ago.  Now nothing.  I'm nervous to take another test because I keep getting my hopes up.  Is spotting regular for pregnancy and/or prometrium?  Does Prometrium and/or Femara make anyone have really long cycles?  My last cycle was the first on Femara (no Prometrium) and it was 56 days.  Normally I'm around 28-32.  Does this sound normal...?

I have also had 2 miscarriages, my last one was October 1st, 2008.  I was also prescribed prometrium to get pregnant and was supposed to take up to 12 weeks 200mg/day orally but didnt take it because I didnt think it was safe.  But I just found out I was pregnant again almost 4 weeks along and had lab done on Monday and my docotor called me and said my progesterone levels are really good, now I wish I would have taken it last time.  Hopefully it works with this pregnancy, I have been trying for over 3 years to have a baby.  Good luck to you all

I have 3 healthy kids followed by 2 mc within a few months of each other. We are pregnant again, about 6 weeks and the Dr. just started me on 200mg prometrium orally once a day. I had my first levels done today and should know the results tomorrow. We pray this time things go okay. I am like most of you, don't think we can handle another miscarriage.

I am 32 and on my second pregnancy. I was told I would never be able to have children so when I found out I was pregnant in Feb of this year I was very excited and scared. I had an ultra sound at about 6 weeks and the baby's heart beat was at 100 and they said that was low. I had another u/s 2 weeks later and there was no heart beat. I am now 6 week and had a u/s and the baby's heartbeat is at 127 so its better. I met with my Dr. today and she put me on 100mg of Prometrium. I hope it works for me. Its comforting to read of other people going through the same things.

I was spotting quite a bit around 5 weeks, and even 6 weeks, maybe a tad longer.  I was very concerned.  When I went to the doc, they told me my progesterone levels were low and prescribed 200 mg. prometrium, oral, twice a day.  I was having TERRIBLE side effects, dizzy, sleeping constantly, and terrible nausea that never went away.  I went back and they put me on the same drug, but 50 mg. twice a day, vaginal suppository.  The side effects drastically reduced, but I still in general don't feel good.  I am 9 wks now though, so only a few more to go.  The spotting went away with the hormone.  Good luck.

Hopefully everything is well with you.  I have had many miscarriages and ended up going through invitro  and was on prometrium and did also spot, everything worked out well and I now have a 3 year old son.  So hang in there, I hope everything works out.
