Progesterone "I was on Prometrium from day 1 up until week 19, then I was placed on the Makena shot, which is also progesterone, until I was 36 weeks. I fully believe this is why I have my daughter today. She is almost two and has had no side effects from me taking this medication in pregnancy. I have MTHFR factor and low progesterone. This is why I needed to be on this medication."

Progesterone "Early pregnancy loss was a huge issue. I have been on Prometrium since the day after ovulation. I am 18 weeks pregnant. Doctors wanted me to stop at 14 weeks, I had extra and continued. I ran out for two days and started having contractions. My doctor decided it was best to stay on Prometrium due to evidence of risked preterm labor."

"I began having preterm labor contractions at 20 weeks. After being discharged from the hospital, the contractions continued. I researched and saw that progesterone had helped some women maintain pregnancies, so I suggested this to my doctor and began taking it once a day. (Annoyed that I had to suggest it instead of my doctor, but that’s the medical establishment). I continued to have contractions for the next months and went to the hospital several more times, but since I wasn’t dilating or losing blood or fluids, I wasn’t in active labor. I did have my daughter at 32 weeks, but I credit progesterone for helping us make it that far. Despite being premature, she is healthy and catching up quickly! I would strongly recommend it for preterm labor contractions!"

Progesterone "Mild side effects such as fatigue and hunger, horrible headaches if not taken at all. Seems to work, however, for the price paid for the medication, seems like they could include an applicator like the ones they give with gels and OTC yeast meds, etc. It's not fun or very easy trying to shove pills in your VAGAY with your fingers every single time you must use this medication."

"After each injection, I would be exhausted the next day. I would have severe depression, which seemed to get worse with each injection. I'm only 25 weeks and have to continue taking it until I'm 34 weeks. We'll see if it helps me go full term."

"I'm taking this medication to prevent premature delivery. With every injection, I have gotten a debilitating migraine, not to mention soul-crushing depression. With no other options, I have to stay on the medication until I reach 32 weeks."
