One more (I swear!) Progesterone question for those who have used it

eburgmamaeburgmama member
in Pregnant after a Loss
Did anyone take it orally? It seems like most people are on suppositories so I am wondering why the midwife is having me take it orally. My level at 17 DPO was 8.8. I am on 100 mg 2-3x a day. Should I ask for a higher dose? Should I ask for suppositories? 

TIA! PGAL is SOOO Stressful!

    I just have no idea!! I am taking intramuscular injections now, but in previous pregnancies I did have it orally. 

    before with a regular pg --My OB offered me a choice of oral or vag. so i just picked tablets.

    Currently --in a few weeks (2nd Tri, i think) i will start to transition to vaginal suppositores as per my Dr but this baby is an IVF baby.

    My heart is as open as the sky.

    I feel like I worried you! I'm so sorry!! I would definitely trust your midwife. If you feel worried I'm sure she wouldn't mind answering your questions. :)

    I'm on oral. My doc prescribed them as soon as I got my bfp, but my progesterone was actually ok when we tested, just staying on it for now anyway.

    I am on oral progesterone!  Mine was a precaution to hopefully prevent my early pregnancy losses.  They didn't even test my levels they prescribed it to me and told me to take it the minute I got a BFP.

    Orally! Always. Depends on your indication.

    The intravaginal form is sometimes used for short cervix, etc.

    I took it orally 1x a day. But my levels were fine. If you want inserts why not ask? It does absorb better and it can't hurt. After all if it gives you peace why not? I say ask for what you want.

    With this pregnancy, I took it orally as well-200mg once a day. No one suspected progesterone was an issue in my previous losses. I felt like my RE prescribed it more as a peace of mind, like a may not be necessary, but can't hurt type of deal. He had me stop them at 10 weeks. 

    I did take suppositories with my previous loss, and that was the standard practice with the RE I was using at the time. 

    If you have any questions or concerns, I definitely would ask your Dr why oral over suppositories. It could just be what they do. I didn't question it since my levels seemed to be normal.
