prometrium after cancelled IVF cycle

[kp1212]

Hi all,
I recently went through my first IVF trial, but the cycle was cancelled on day 8 due to limited response to the medications. :-(  The doc now has me on 5 days of prometrium, I think to facilitate a period and start the whole process over.  Anyone know about prometrium being used to facilitate a period?  How many days later should it start?  Any side effects?
Thanks for the help.

Hello! so sorry to hear about the cancellation of the cycle!! i'lll keep you in my thoughts! :)       I don't know much about IVF, but i took progesterone/prometrium for the first time this month and AF came 3 days later.. i asked a simliar question last week ,looks like most people got it around day 3 after stopping, but some got it before that!   Side effects for me were sleepiness!! a lot of women get sore bb's too, but I normally get that, so i actually had less of that on the progesterone!  good luck, keep us updated!
