Question about suppositories...

deleted_user

Hi everyone! I have a question regarding the progesterone suppositories. It's kind of gross so please forgive me. I whiched over from the shots yesterday and this morning I did my first suppository. Anyhow, after I put it in it kind of started sliding back out?? I had to keep adjusting it and lay down so it didn't come out when I stood up. But then after sitting for about 25 minutes I got up and walked around andit was sliding out again, like oozing the disolved cream out. And it's been doing it a little here and there since I did it like 2 hours ago.

What the heck did I do wrong? Is there a trick I should know about? It's kind of gross. And I just don't want my level to drop because I'm doing it wrong....

Any thoughts??

The trick that works for me is to insert it while laying down, and stay laying down for about 30 minutes. There's nothing you can do about the "oozing" - it's messy and yucky, no matter what you try to do to prevent it! I just use a pantiliner that I change 2x/day. It "leaks" out all day, but my RE told me this was normal, and it hasn't affected my levels at all. Let me know if you have any other questions! Good luck!

Suppositories are going to be oozie:( I don't like the injections, but can handle that over constant ooz. Did you switch because of injection pain? Both suck, but are worth it.
Good luck!!

They switched me because they said my levels looked great so I can try the suppositories. The injections weren't bothing me just a pain in the neck having to have my DH do it at the same time every day. I just spoke to my RE and she said pretty much what all of you said but to try and sit for about 20 mins after putting it in. SHe said it shouldn't affect my levels if it oozes out. Thanks everyone!!

    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...
