My daughter is 8 weeks pregnant and her doc said that her HCG level was increasing as it should but her  progesterone level was low and prescribed prometrium. This is her first pregnancy. Why would she be given prometrium?

Has anyone experienced light bleeding after starting the Promitrium?

I was just too been prescribed Promitrium and was a little confused why I need to take it vaginally instead of orally. Doctor didn't explain much (but I trusted her with all my heart) but did say taking it vaginally will go straight to the Uterus where it needs it most and immediate, to support the baby.

Does anyone know how to use it though? Do you just stick it in your vagina? How far in? The capsule looks so small...does it just dissolves itself? Very curious!!!

Thanks.

I took prochieve, which is a vaginal gel progesterone.  I took it until 13wks and I am now 23wks!  I would recommend progesterone supplements to anyone who needs it.  I was also REALLY worried about side effects, but all ultrasounds show a healthy baby with no defects.  I went through 1 m/c and insisted my dr. check my hormones during this pregnancy...which were low, so thank god.  I could of possibly had another m/c....and I personally dont know if I could have gone through that pain again...physically and emotionally!

I just got prescribed Prometrium today too and I am very scared to take it. I'm not sure if I am going to or not. It says in the information pamphlet that it is not to be taken during pregnancy and "Rare instances of fetal death and spontaneous abortion have been reported in pregnant women prescribed PROMETRIUM Capsules for unapproved indications including the prevention of such outcomes. Studies in humans cannot rule out the possibility of harm. Therefore, PROMETRIUM Capsules should be used during pregnancy only if indicated." You can look all of this up on the internet too.
