Question

Should Prometrium symptoms go away as you take it? I am on day 5 of taking it.

I started taking 200mg of Prometrium on 4dpo at 11:30pm and take it every night at the same time to try to help the implantation process if I do conceive. I am now 9dpo today so will be taking my 5th pill tonight but the pill on 8dpo didn't give me near as much dizziness and sleepiness as the other pills have.

Is it normal for the side effects to kinda fade away?
Does this mean I probably am not pregnant?

My progesterone level on 7dpo was 34.1

When I was taking prometrium suppositories (200mg), the symptoms would come and go (nausea, dizziness, hot flashes at night) throughout the time I was taking it (ovulation to AF). At 9dpo I would venture to say it's a bit too early to be experiencing pregnancy symptoms, so what you're feeling most likely is a result of the prometrium. Be aware also that prometrium can delay or stop AF from arriving (each cycle AF would not arrive for me until I stopped the prometrium for that cycle), so keep that in mind should AF not arrive for you on time. Best of luck and Baby Dust!

Thank you. I know none of it is pregnancy yet. I am normally the person preaching about progesterone but now that I am on it, I guess I have just been worrying more about everything. My trigger is finally out so at least now if I see a line on a test I will know it is a real BFP.

Yea I think if I get to 15dpo without a BFP then I will have a BETA bloodwork done then if it is negative I will stop the prometrium so I will get AF.
