Progesterone suppositories question...

SweetPea19

OK so this is the first month I have had to take progesterone suppositories...but I notice the night time dose is fine, because I do it right when I lay down to go to bed. But the morning time one, a lot seems to come out there after. I usually put it in, and lay for about an hour...but even STILL so much comes out.

Does this mean I'm not getting the progesterone I need, and should I tell the doctor?

Hi there! Welcome to the world of progesterone suppositories!!! I was on them during all my cycles and currently (as i am now pregnant). I too, noticed a lot would come out just after inserting my dose. I talked to my RE about it and she said it's expected however not to worry b/c most of it is absorbed into the blood stream. Just be sure to wear a pad or panty liner. I know it can be messy and uncomfortable but well worth it! Good luck to you!

Totally normal. They are so messy. I actually asked for the progestrone cream (crinone), more expensive but way less messy! It also comes with an applicator so I wasn't always sticking my fingers up there to make sure it was in all the way, etc... tmi, I know but I hated the suppositories so much!

Here is your laugh for the day. My RE clinic makes us do them rectally, in the bum twice a day. It is awful, as if the other stuff is not bad enough. Not sure why entirely but that is what they do. When DH and I found out about it we laughed like little kids. They sure are gross but all for a great cause. Sending all my positive vibes your way for a BFP!! Good luck.

    A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...

    I have my maxed amount of epidural shots of my cervical DDD....(and no one cares about my lumbar DDD)..... I've done physical therapy, muscle relaxers, Amitriptyline, Nortryptiline, desipramine.....narcotics... So I decided to go to a spine specialist and they have me on Gabapentin. Its been two weeks and it did nothing for my lumbar ever... but it did seem to help my cervical and arm/hand pain...
