Mine said in a big yellow sticker on the side of the bottle not to take while pregnant.  I immediately called the Dr.  He said that it was fine and that if he prescribed it, that it was fine.  I am now 18wks!  I was on 200mg until 13wks.  It made me pretty sick, but it was definately worth it!  Good luck and sticky sticky baby dust!!!!

I was told that there is a link between Prometrium and cleft pallet.  But, the Dr. said that the chance is very minute...The way i see it...a cleft pallet can be fixed...If it keeps my baby alive, then i'll take the chance.  I know other people who have taken prometrium throught their prengnacy and had beautiful and healthy babies.

I had 3 misscarriages, and when I was pregnant with my 4th pregnancy, my doctor prescribed me prometrium, and now I have a beautiful one year old daughter.  Most likely if I become pregnant again I will have to take prometrium again.  My bottle also said do not take while pregnant, and it scared the **** out of me, especially already going through 3 misscarriages!!!!  But yes, it is safe to take, and my daughter was a very healthy 7l.b. 2 o.z. baby!

If you take prometrium by mouth, it goes threw the blood system, then goes to the baby, which typically is not good. Most prometrium is prescribed vaginally, that way it goes straight to the uterus and helps support the baby. At 10-12 weeks the placenta takes over the hormones and no longer needs the support of prometrium. Hope that helps!

I am on prometrium also ..currently 5 weeks pregnant..i started it a few days after BD and boy do i need it..my first levels on 200mg were 5 and i was pregnant.  That was 2 weeks ago and I am now on 1000mg and progesterone is 25..i will continue it to 12 weeks! not worried about side effects..i think its the only thing that can keep this baby safe! Good Luck!
