Question:

I must have prometrium 200mg to induce my periods d/t irregularity. I have no other problems such as hyperplasia, PCOS, etc. My doctor has ordered 12 tablets of the prometrium and on day 3-7 of my cycle i am to take clomid 100mg. cycle day 1 for me was on my 6th tablet of the prometrium which means I would start the clomid on cycle day 3 which would be my 8th tablet of the prometrium. I will have 4 more tablets of prometrium to take. should i continue to take the prometium until the bottle is finished (6 more days) and take the clomid at the same time? are the two meds going to counteract each other?
