Boo-After my 7 weekish ultrasound yesterday my progesterone was down to 13, which they like to see it above 15-so its progestrone supplements for me. My RE told me not to worry (yeah, right), but they want to start me on something just in case.
My nurse gave me the choice of prometrium or crinone-thoughts? She has samples of the crinone, so I'm going to start with that.

Re: I have to start progestrone supplements-opinions?
i was on prometrium until about 2nd tri, wasn't bad at all, except lots of bloating and some mild cramping
GL!!

I'm on prometrium. My only complaint is that they leak. I have to wear a pad which I find REALLY annoying. If I don't my underwear gets soaked.
i was on the oral prometrium, it wasn't bad, except had to take it right before bed since it makes you loopy LOL

I've been on both and I prefer the Crinone. Like PP said, Prometrium leaked and one time it was so bad, it literally looked like I had an accident in my pants and I had to go home and change! That's not to say that Crinone doesn't leak, but it's more of a discharge, not a liquid. Also, the emotional side effects from the Prometrium were a lot worse for me than with Crinone.
Good luck!
