Sorry, it's a little tmi, but I'm wondering if any of you ladies are taking progesterone suppositories, and if so, have you had sex while using them? I'm so freaked out about having sex to begin with, so this is just adding to the anxiety.
I know people do I never have. I'm not on them now, I'm on PIO but I'm on estrace suppositories. I'm just to scared to have sex because sometimes it can cause spotting and I'm terrified of spotting.
I'm on them and we haven't yet either. I'm thinking of asking to switch to the progesterone pill because they're messy and because DH is worried about progesterone exposure. Definitely going to ask about effects at my appt this Thursday!

TTC (actively) since 5/2013
5/2014 started testing with RE, me: HSG normal, normal AMH, no cysts; DH: great sperm
Unexplained IF + unexplained anovulation (post-pill vs hypothalamic)
I'm taking suppositories and we've had ST a few times since I started taking them. I'll wait until after we're done for my night dosage and it's been fine.
I was afraid to have sex on the suppositories too. We decided to go for it this morning after talking to two of our Dr. friends who said the progestrone won't harm him and we should just plan to have sex before putting one in. There was more "discharge" involved which I was slightly embarrassed about but other than that everything seems fine.
Side note. Are the suppositories making anyone else feel like death? I've been taking 200mg twice a day for almost a week and each time I take one I feel awful for about an hour. It's getting a little better but still pretty bad.
In the beginning I would have minor cramping for up to an hour after inserting it, and not feeling to well in general right after. Now with all the other first trimester symptoms I don't know which is caused by the progesterone and what is just first trimester ickiness.
I take them once at night.. So we haven't been doing the deep a lot at all..I've been going to bed so much earlier lately and it will already be in.. So if anything happens it's in the morning or at night if we can back from somewhere before we head to bed. I de wouldn't do anything after just putting it in

I was on them for about a month following our IVF transfer until our first US and DH and I just didn't. Normally DH and I aren't insecure about much, especially when it comes to sex, but I just couldn't with those. I just felt so dirty all the time. All I wanted to do was shower!

I'm on PIO shots, but when I took suppositories there was no way DH was getting anywhere near there
