My endocrinologist just put me on prometrium because I have gone 6 months without a period and then I just bled for 3 weeks. He wants to regulate my period.

I am on 200mg 1x a day for 10 days. I am on day 4 and I have the WORST back pain,WORST headache, nausea, hunger and I have had some spotting today. I thought that I wasn't supposed to have any bleeding until about 5 days after I finish the meds.

Has anyone been on this before? Is back pain normal? I don't like taking anything that is prescription so this makes me very nervous. I am also new to the PCOS stuff-- I have suspected for some time but my blood work and ultrasound confirmed everything.

Blessings,

Hey!! I tried Prometrium and had terrible side effects. But every one is different. It is suppose to be "natural" and even have the same chemical make up as the progesterone that normally is found in our bodies...

The doctor told me to take it for 12 days so that I can finally get my AF. The first 3 or 4 days were ok with slight nausea... then on days 5-8 it was TERRIBLE .

It made me really light headed and had me feeling... well, like if I were drunk. My speech starting to slur and I had kinda like "black outs". I didnt remember things I had said to my DH (again, like if I were drunk..that's the best thing I can compare it too... but drunk in a bad way NOT a fun way).

I took the meds with food and all, and of course with no alcohol. Then on day 8 I got a sharp pain on my calf and freaked out since I read that it can (but rarely) can cause blood clots (noted by pains in areas like ur calves).

I stopped taking it on Day 8 and got my period like 2 days later despite not finishing the 12 days as recommended by my RE .

I told my RE and he put me on Provera for my next cycle.


It's frustrating! I wish I could just be "normal"
