How to bring an early period?

How long after I take prometrium to bring my period, should I begin ttc??

  • I have not had my period since May 28, 2007. And had my blood drawn on August 9th (Thursday) to confirm that I am not pregnant. My results will not be back until Wednesday August 15. But my doctor prescribed 200mg of Prometrium(progesterone) for 10 days to bring on my period. And she suggested that I begin taking it tomorrow, August 12th which is Sunday. If it comes back that I was pregnant would this harm my baby? And would I still get a period if I was indeed pregnant? If I am not pregnant, how soon after I take prometrium (progesterone)to bring on my period, Can we begin ttc??

  • Answer:

    Hey- prometrium is a natural progesterone (just like your body produces!) so it will not harm your baby if you are indeed pregnant. A lot of women actually take prometrium during early pregnancy if their progesterone levels are low. If you are pregnant...you shouldn't get your period...as progesterone helps build the lining of the uterus. If you aren't pregnant the lining will be shed within five days of going off prometrium. I took it back in March after not getting my period since December. I took it for seven days and got my period about four days after going off. I ended up having a normal cycle the following two months and conceived the second month as well. Hopefully your body will figure things out like mine did and you'll ovulate your next cycle! I really watched cervical mucas (looking for the fertile stretchy stuff...) and also bought a Basil Body Thermometer from Wal-mart and started charting my temperatures. Your temperature will spike after ovulation. This took the guess work out of wondering if I ovulated or not. Here's a few websites that might help: http://www.praying4ababy.com/BBTcharting.html http://www.fertilityfriend.com/HelpCenter/FFBook/ff_fertility_signs.html -The book "Taking Charge of your Fertility" by Tony Weschler is also a great book that was super helpful. Also...these websites offer free trials for you to enter BBT temperatures....and it detects when and if you are most fertile and if you ovulate. www.fertilityfriend.com (Good site) http://www.tcoyf.com/ (Even better!) -I hope this helps!! =) (Oh- and you "should" ovulate around 14 days after your period begins. This number fluctuates quite a bit from person to person (it could certainly occur later)...so checking cervical mucas and BBT will help a lot. Start trying around eleven days after your period comes (sperm can live up to five days) ...at least every other day until after ovulation. (No more than once a day=)

I'm not sure if Prometrium is the same as Provera but that's what my obgyn prescribed this month because last month's cycle was very irregular. For the first time my period went for 3 weeks. So my doc prescribed Provera to help regulate my cycle. I had to take the pills for 10 days. After 10 days..my period started on the 5th day (so 15 days from taking the 1st pill). After 6-7 days your period should stop and then you should start having sex from 10-18 days as my doc told me.... If you are already pregnant, it shouldn't affect the baby. Also, the blood test results should come the next day. My doc took a blood test to make sure I wasn't pregnant and called the very next day for the test results. Maybe just call the doc's office and ask about the results....
