I’ve just been prescribed Prometrium 200mg, to take twice daily because I’ve been spotting. Just wondering if anyone has used this medication and had any side effects or issues with it. I hate how they tell me spotting is normal in early pregnancy but also scare me with medication to prevent a MC.

I have taken for 14 weeks with both my pregnancies after miscarriage. It is slightly irritating to the vagina sometimes. I'd say was good each morning it helps. I also get really bad constipation. But once I stop taking it, that gets a little better. Not everyone takes it that long. Your dr will advise the length. I'm just high risk so they make me take it a long while.

Also didn't realize you said twice daily I only took it at night so my washing advice may need to be adjusted to more if your feeling it's needed. Also wear a panty liner.
Thank you so much for the reply! It’s crazy because the pharmacist told me to only use it at night, so I went back upstairs to ask the doctor and he pretty much rolled his eyes at the idea someone was countering his instructions. I’ll definitely go get some panty liners to be ready! Thanks again <3
