???Prometrium Question???
by JuleBug, May 23, 2008 11:58AM
I'm new to this site, such a wealth of information.
We've been really trying on and off for 5 years now. I stopped having periods and don't ovulate on a regular basis. My OBGYN says she thinks I have POF but not sure because of underlined issues with my thyroid. Only time I do have a period is if I'm on birth control. Although I get the good ol cramps/PMS like clockwork but nothing happens. It seems I'm on the same cycle as my 2 sisters (they have no issues w/ infertility, in fact my older sister just found out she is pregnant - huge shocker) Anyway, OBGYN would just take blood and give me a dose of Clomid to take. My period would come for 1-2 months.. then nothing.
We decided to aggressively try so made an appointment with a RE... the best thing we've done. I've only been seeing her for 2 months so in the beginning stages of all this but she at least has a game plan. We are hopeful. She's been monitoring to see if I am even ovulating... she was happy to say there were 3 follies on left side and 2 little ones on right side. I'm taking prometrium 200mg 2x a day and hopefully something will happen. 1st blood work up, RE confirmed what OBGYN said that my thyroid was out of wack, taking Levothyroxine 25mg.
Well, back to my question about prometrium this is my 4th day taking it. I am so dizzy. 1st day I took it, I was dizzy but was outside doing yard work. 2nd/3rd day fine - didn't do much except computer work from home/office. Today, cleaning house and stuff... so dizzy had to sit down to take a breather?
Anyone else experience this or have any suggestions?
Thxs! : )

If my cycle comes, RE wants more blood work on the 3-4 day of my cycle then consult for estrace? Like I said new to all this - DH and I really don't know what to expect.
Would appreciate any feedback. : )
