Progesterone suppositories:TMI

in Trouble TTC

So just started the suppositories last night.  I've never used it before.  Discharge question.  Can I use a tampon?  These crappy kotex pads, that I got with a coupon, suck.  Did anyone else use a tampon instead of panty liner?

TIA

    Honestly, I don't think the tampon is going to absorb the goo from the supp and therefore you are going to have it all just sitting up there...I would use a pad personally.  Progesterone supps are totally gross but honestly better out than keeping that all up in there.
    DX: Anovulation
    TX: IUI #1-4 = BFN + 1 c/p
    IUI #5: Clomid 100mg + Bravelle + Trigger + B2B IUIs + 800mg Progesterone = BFP!
    Beta #1 (14dpiui): 460 Beta #2 (16dpiui): 998 Beta #3 (23dpiui): 21,832 Beta #4 (29dpiui): 129,771

    Ugh.  I started the this week and they are just gross.  RE said no tampons as they need your body to absorb the medicine vs wicking it away with a tampon.  It has to be pads.

    Yep, no tampons whatsoever.

    Plus, it's not safe to wear a tampon when you do not have your period. The risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome goes way up.

    They are horrible. They leak at night and make a mess, but tampons are a no no!! Your body needs to asorb that so just stick with pads.

    Grossness confirmed as well.  Pantyliners worked some days, but an upgrade to a pad might be necessary.

     Yaah, this is gross.  Thanks for your help.  The supps Rx came with NO information and searching the internet was totally fruitless.  I knew I could count on the bumpies :)
