Prometrium dizziness

[starburst]

My RE prescribed prometrium progesterone (oral) for me this cycle because I got my period at 9 dpo last cycle.  Holy dizziness.  I took it about an hour ago and now I feel drunk.  This is crazy.  Tomorrow I better take it right before I go to bed.  Anyone experience this?  I heard you can insert the oral capsules vaginally and the side effects aren't as bad.  I'm seriously considering this.  I guess I should call the RE tomorrow.

I don't know if you can take oral pills vaginally, but I am on Endometrin vaginally twice a day and have had no issues. I hope you feel better!

I take the Endometrin vaginally twice a day as well and haven't had any problems with it.

My RE told me prometrium, taken orally, would be extremely effective as a sleep aid. So there's that.

I used to take it vaginally after my first two IUIs with my OB, then my RE switched me to a compounded progesterone vaginal suppository. She said she's not a fan of prometrium, but I think it's the individual doctor's choice, like clomid vs femara.

I just passed out for about an hour, which is unusual for me.  I hardly ever nap, unless I'm sick.  Lesson learned.  Take it immediately before going to bed.  Good thing I didn't take it before work!

Mine sits on my nightstand, so I take it right before bed. One cycle we did raise the dose to 100mg 3/day. I needed to use my "dosecast" app to remind me.

I also was told to take prometrium at night because it could make me drowsy. That on top of my melatonin gave me some good sleep. No dizziness though.
