PROMETRIUM SUPPOSITORY

I have a question for you ladies-
How far into my vagina do I need to get the Prometrium suppository? As you know from previous posts, I had a terrible time from ER and I am still in a great deal of pain. I am having trouble bending over enough to get it in very far. I am getting it in as far as I can. I know this is really TMI, but I don't know who else to ask without calling my doctor. When they call to give me an update on my babies today, I am going to ask if I can remember. BTW....yesterday I had 8 fertilized eggs. ET is going to be tomorrow.

As far up as you can go should be fine, but def. ask your doctor about that and the pain you're experiencing. Good luck

I agree-ask about the pain. But as far as bending over, have you tried standing up, putting one foot on the toilet and squatting a bit? It does help open the vagina without having to bend... Hope that helps!

I just laid down and reached down. I was told it only needs to go in about an inch. Hope this helps.

Are you using crinone? Or the tablet type thing? I have done both. I did them for 12 weeks with my son, and all the time now post-ov during TTC. I always lay in bed, frog my legs-if that makes sense, and sorta tilt my pelvis. It isn't umcomfortable, and it's a little more relaxing I think. I know this is WAY TMI, but I hope it helps. It's a good thing you don't know me, so I didn't give you a visual!!! :)

Thank you to everyone for the advice. My doctor is aware of my pain. I went to the emergency room the night of my ER. I think part of my pain is because I am 2 hours away from my doctor's office. So, after the ER, I drove home. I think the pain is from tensing up every time my husband hit the smallest bump in the road. If I ever have to do a fresh cycle again (I pray this one works and I don't) I am going to get a hotel room and just go there after the procedure until the next morning.
I am also sore because they got 21 eggs, my doctor says that is a lot to retrieve and that only will make someone sore.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
