Infertility

Estrodiol and Crinone (BFP mentioned)

Anyone on these two suppositories? I'm supposed to take them in the am and I can't seem to do both without getting globs of green every time I use the bathroom/wipe!  I had my first Beta yesterday and my hormone levels were good, but it's very hard to imagine that my body is absorbing any of that medicine! Is there a trick that I'm missing?!

Re: Estrodiol and Crinone (BFP mentioned)

  • im on the same meds twice a day, except im taking estradiol orally. only thing ive found helps a bit is to try and and time your dose when you know you'll be able to lay down for at least 30 minutes, for me i usually lay there an hour. make sure u empty your bladder before putting them in too lol. ive had a few days where as soon as i lay down im like oh crap i need to pee!

  • I have done both vaginal estradiol and crinone at the same time.  I usually would put the estradiol in first and then the crinone.  I did it in the morning before my hour long drive and in the evening I would sit down for at least a half hour after.  And I definitely had some very colorful discharge every time.  But it seemed to work fine.  I did it in prep for my FET and had started with just oral estradiol but needed more and when the vaginal was added it made a big difference...so it definitely was working.  And there was one time that one of the pills didn't seem to get in there all the way and it was obviously that it didn't get in there cause there was an actual partially dissolved pill....otherwise it was always just colored chunks of leftover crinone.
