Results of latest sono - not good (now Prometrium question)

[Guest guest]

I finished my 10 day dose of 200 mg Prometrium. I was fine with no side effects

UNTIL

the 10th and final day of the prescription. I developed the usual throbbing

neck muscles

and headache and I had been bleeding very heavily. But the day after I stopped

the

Prometrium, I started bleeding like there was no tomorrow. Fast and furious -

worse than

I had ever seen before. I went through a super duper tampon every 20 minutes.

Now I

have had heavy, fast bleeding before, but not like THIS. The doctor said I

would shed the

14mm lining but I didn't expect this. I called her today to ask if I could do

anything to

slow the bleed and she gave me more Prometrium. I decided against a D & C because

I

wanted to try this with Prometrium and was pleasantly surprised that I had no

side effects

of pain (until the last day of the dose that is).

Today I went to work and with all this bleeding, I spent the whole day in the

bathroom

and now my legs and arms are VERY heavy and I got tired just walking up 5 steps.

My leg

muscles felt like I had run 20 miles. I got very nervous about this because I

was afraid I

was bleeding to death and didn't know it! But now I'm afraid to take more 200mg

Prometrium. Will the Prometrium help slow down this bleed?
