Last month, my physician prescribed Prometrium in addition to the Vivelle Dot. I had my ovaries removed almost a year ago and had been on just Premarin but was feeling horrible. With the Prometrium and patch, I felt much better while on them. The cycle for 12 days came to an end, and five days later, I hit rock bottom. Why cyclic in surgical induced menopause? Also, my insurance co. is now denying Prometrium and wants medroxyprogesterone used instead. Any answers?

I'm not certain why they do cyclic dosing in surgical induced menopause ... only your doctor will be able to give you the right answer.
Please also try the forum ... someone there may be able to give you some answers.
