this worked great no side effects
Working / Worked
Used this to start AF after skipping 9 of last 15 months. Got next AF on own but had cramps unlike any that I'd ever had in the past.
Working / Worked
Doing Progesterone Shots. Husband does them, but I actually had to do one once because he wasn't home in time. Not that sore. Have 23gauge needle, which helps.
Working / Worked
Did what it was supposed to do in forcing a period. I took it before each of my three cycles of Clomid
Working / Worked
I think it is working -- I'm still trying to figure this one out, because 100 mg or 200 mg on 10 or 12 consecutive days with depression+bloating starting on about the 2nd or 3rd day is all very tricky and the verdict is still not in.
Working / Worked
Side effects are fatigue and hot flashes.

Currently on injections, but they said they may switch me over to suppositories.
I got a period a little over 2 weeks finishing the medication.

used to start my cycle.
I used prometrium in my later teens, and it work some, but my body got too used to it. I than developed more bloating, and painful cramps.
Working / Worked
I took Prometrium while seeing the endocrinologist, and seemed to bring my period on always. I am taking Provera now and it also brings on my period. I usually break through and get my period on day 7 or 8. The only side effects I feel are mood swings and of course bloating. The cramps are pretty severe as well.
