Pregnant after a Loss

adminstering vaginal progesterone

I'm staring tonight and i'll ask the pharmacist to educate me, but it seems very odd and foreign to me.  How do you do it effectively?  Do you ever worry that you went in too far?  Any tips?

  • My OB said to wash hands really well and only insert up to the first knuckle.
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • Wash your hands and put it in :P Don't fist yourself trying to get it up there, but just an inch or so (or to the first knuckle like PP mentioned) is enough.

    Also, I suggest wearing a panty liner. I had a lot more discharge when I was taking vaginal progesterone.

  • I have been taking them for about a week. I was told to soak mine before inserting and try not to insert to far. I did and I had a bit of brown speckles, I wouldn't even call it spotting. I was told not to worry about it.

  • I have been using it for two weeks, and I got no instructions.  But I would definitely say yes on the hand washing and the panty liner.  It's just gross otherwise.

  • My suggestion is pretty TMI but I had to do progestrone for all of my pregnancies and the best way I could do it was use a yeast infection plastic applicator. You put the pill in the tube then put it inside and push the pill up it helped to not have to be applying it with my fingers which was awkward for me (I have super long nails). Hope that helps. The applicator really made it easy and I would do it at night so it was messy overnight not during the day. 

    Hope that helps!
