I had various amounts of miscarriage's and just found out im 5weeks pregnant now.My doctor prescribed me Prometrium BID till im 12 weeks.I did plenty of research and read that Prometrium is safe to take during pregnancy it thickens your uterus to get it prepared for pregnancy and also avoid's miscarriages.I spoke to multiple doctors and they said Prometrium is a pill just to raise your progesterone level and if you were to have a miscarriage it would have to be with some time of other effect then to have low progesteron meaning a abnormal baby that your body would automatically reject..Hope this help..Good luck to you all..And god bless

I just recently got prescribed Prometrium 200 mg because I had a miscarriage about a year ago and me and my husband have been trying to conceive another one ever since. I was told to take it once daily at night. I have not had any side effects. I do feel that is makes me sleep but I like that because I sleep very good. Medicine does scare me but I trust my doctor. I have given all my heartache to God and I know He is in control. I hope the medicine helps everyone because I know how a miscarriage feels. It is a very hard thing mentally and physically to go thru, I had to have a DNC and all. I am hoping this medicine will help me to get pregnant and stay pregnant.

I got put on 200 mg of prometrium twice a day this week. I am eight weeks pregnant. I went to the doc because i had been spotting and then started bleeding. He did blood work and this level was 6.5, very low. He thought I had a miscarriage until an ultra sound showed an embryo with a heart beat of 136 per minute. I was shocked and very blessed.Good luck to everyone and I feel it is making my  pregnancy stronger. Thanks for sharing your experiences   It helps relax me

I am pregnant and my progesterone levels were low so the doctor prescibed prometrium to me. OMG!!!! This was not a good experience for me. It caused me to have mood swings, be really down and I was so sick everyday all day. I've been off of the meds for almost a week now and today is the first day that I feel normal again. The prometrium had me feeling terrible. I know that my baby will be fine!! God Bless all the mommy's and babies!
