1st Trimester

Endometrin Suppository - experiences??

Is anyone else taking this? I started it today and was wondering what the most common side effects were and if it's effective. My Progesterone level was 7.2 today (although i have a 28 day cycle and don't ovulate until day 18, which i think is why its so low at 4 weeks). i go back for another blood test on sunday and unfortunately i am not one of those people who can just not think about stuff...any positive stories would be wonderful!

Re: Endometrin Suppository - experiences??

  • I started taking it yesterday and so far haven't noticed any side effects.  I do have "leaking" but am wearing a pad to control it.  I have never taken it before.

    My progesterone came back 9.2 and the dr prescribed it because I have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis (hypothyroid with antibodies that attack my thyroid which controls progesterone levels).  I'm on thyroid med too and my levels are coming back to normal. 

    I have had two m/c, which they believe the Hashimoto's may have influenced, so they told me after the last one that I would take progesterone if/when I got pg again.

    Good luck to you!

  • I've been taking them twice a day since we triggered, just went down to once a day this week.

    So far, baby looks rockin'. Good luck to you!

  • I've been on twice a day for 6 weeks...I'm so over it but have 2 more weeks. Just recently I started getting very irritated down there and went in for a visit with my doc. She said that it was so dry from all the meds and they "cleaned me out"...it was a little crowed from so much use. Other than that, I think it causes constipation...but if it's good for the baby then I'm not complaining :9) good luck!
