  Although I am on Crinon now (which is also a vaginal insertion, just a gel) I have done prometrium in the past which is just like a pill that you just insert.  Your pharmacy may give you an applicator (like a tampon), otherwise it's pretty easy just to use your finger(s) to insert it.

  With DS I was on the prometrium for ~12 weeks.  With the Crinone I was told I would be on it until about 7 weeks.

  Whats the difference between the prometrium and crinone? It sounds like crinone would be easier to use, and for a shorter time? I'm so nervous now!

  I'm also on vaginal progesterone.  I think I'm supposed to be on it through the end of the first trimester.  It's annoying, but I feel reassured that it will be one less thing that could possibly go wrong.

  ETA: They aren't hard to put in.  Just make sure you put it in far enough - I push mine in as far as my fingers will reach; it makes for less discharge later.
  

  I don't know much about crinone though.

  don't worry about the period of time, I think it's just a doctor preference, the Prometrium is the pill and you just insert it.  The cinone is a gel, it's in a tampon type applicator and you just squirt it up.  Both are pretty nasty and you will have cottage cheese type clumping, it's totally normal.  If I had a choice it would be the Prometrium, only b/c I took that at night so the discharge was less.  The crinone I take in the morning so have to wear panty liners all day long.  But both are forms of progesterone so you can't go wrong.
