I cannot stand this. I stopped the Prometrium 100 mg only after 2 days. How long does it take to get out of your system? I did not take it last night and only took it for 2 days. I am teary, mood swings that are scarying me. I took my Divigel this morning and am feeling horrific. Any adivse????

Hey there,

I am sorry that you are not feeling great, still!
It's hard to imagine that the P would still be in your system especially after having taken it only 2 days. I believe that it hangs around in your system for 12 hours only.
Did you feel any different after using the Divigel? I wonder if it's the E. It can certainly do that to you.
You posted at 12:45 today. How are you feeling now?

Somewhat calmed down but anxious of what the morning will bring. Are you saying that the estrogen will cause the mood swings? I have done OK on the Divigel....still have moments but not as bad. I did notice on the way home from work, that even though I have been bleeding for 20+ days that I got some cramps and bleeding more so tonight. I wonder if the 2 days of P caused that plus threw everything out of whack. I have been getting nausea followed by heat flashes all day also and with it comes the anxiety and horrific mood swings. It is scary. I am calling the doc in the am about my lab results and tell her what happened. I just am worried about my limited alternatiives and what the next step will be. <<<<<sigh>>>>

Speaking to your doctor is a good idea. And, don't get discouraged. I know that's easier said than done right now but there are a lot of options for you.
With the help of your doctor, some time and patience you'll get it right. Everyone's situation is unique, this I know (and not much else.....8-) and you may need to try a few different types of hormones.
Maybe it would be a good idea to not take anything until you consult with your doc and go from there.
Let us know how it goes with your results and what your doctor recommends as a solution to your problem.
Take it easy tonight.
