Hello,
What was recommended to you is often prescribed by ob/gyn's. However, there is NO reliable, convincing evidence that using progesterone in this way decreases the risk of miscarriage. That said there are no significant side effects or conerning fetal impact.
Best regards,

I had two miscarriages before this pregnancy. I was on prometrium during my 2nd one and my current one until 10 weeks. My doc said it didn't mean it wouldn't prevent a miscarriage. She said it wouldn't necessarily help but it couldn't hurt. It did cause me to cramp and spot until I went off of it. All the spotting stopped as soon as I discontinued taking it.
thanks. It was a relief to know abt other's experience on prometrium.
I have had some mild cramping, quite constant, since before I found out I was pregnant and I am 6 weeks weeks pregnant now - on prometrium. Maybe prometrium can have this effect with pregnancy?
I was in prometrium 200mg once a day with my 3rd pregnancy..and still i m/c at 17&1/2 weeks.. and i stopped taking the prometrium at my 15&1/2weeks( i should only take them for 12 weeks, but my dr told me to continued the left pills..) still don't know the reason why,, if it's bec. i stopped taking the progesterone supplement or there is some thing else..
