Hey girlfriend!

If Prometrium helps you, I would stay with it. It is a micronized, ie more natural formulation of progesterone. Provera is a synthetic form. Your mileage may vary, but I found that it did not always work like it was supposed to. Then before I could have more to try again, I was required to go back in to the doc's to fail a pregnancy test (very tiresome and psychologically unpleasant). I never tried Prometrium because I didn't want to see if it was a worse roller coaster ride, and went with BCPs or insulin sensitizers and/or lowcarb.

So whatever became of the prolactin levels? I haven't been emailing anyone too much lately but I bought "your" issue of Newsweek, LOL and am so proud of you that I could just BUST!!!!

Let us know how it goes!!!!!!
