Any other progesterone users?

PeacePathPeacePath member
in November 2013 Moms
I'm currently on 200mg of progesterone supplements 3 times a day. I'm on the vaginal suppositories. I'm really wondering if this is considered an average dosage during pregnancy or if others are on more or less. My doc isn't calling back yet so I figured I'd see what other people have been prescribed while I wait. Thanks!

    Also, if you're on progesterone at all, have you/will you get bloodwork to check levels? Or are you comfortable with just continuing the supplements as prescribed?

    I am on 100mg twice a day. They also did test my levels to make sure they were good. I would definitely want to confirm my levels. Good luck.

    They checked my levels in the begining but have not since starting the suppositories. I'm on 100mg once a day.

    I take 200 mg orally of prometrium, and I'm supposed to up to about week 10. I haven't had my levels checked since the first time, but my doctor is confident that the prometrium is doing its job.

    I am using 8% Crinone, an applicator once a day at night. I am going to talk to my doctor about switching to something else though because a months worth was $90- and that is with insurance! Also, my progesterone was at 17, and he wants it at 20.

    Thank you all for responding! I still haven't gotten a call back, but I'm glad I'm not the only one on this dosage and glad there is such a variety of mg/times per day because it must mean that different amounts and methods work for different women. Thank

    I am on Progesterone in Oil (1 cc per day) but as of today my dose is reducing to .5 cc per day. I did IVF so I have been on 1 cc per day since Egg Retrieval. Hopefully 7 more days till my daily stabbings are over as I will graduate from my RE.

    Crinone once a day here too.  Bloodwork at the beginning, none since.  It's standard protocol at my RE clinic.  

    Is it completely killing everyone else's sex life?!?!?  Or is it just me?  My libido isn't by any means what
