  • omg!  I was scheduled to do the shots, but at the last minute asked if I could switch to the Crinone progesterone suppository because I was so scared of the size of that needle....and I knew I would end up hating my husband! lol  I haven't noticed any side effects yet on the sup creme...it's only been 3 days though.

  • I hated the progestrone and I am NOT looking forward to the shots again. It gave me flu like symptoms with about a 100 temp the whole time I took it!! Every night I'd wake up and swear I was really getting the flu! GL!
