Progesterone, Red Capsules

I'm on pregnancy number 8 (5 losses, 2 full term). This is my 4th time on progesterone now and first time with the red capsules. Can I just say these suck? I went to the bathroom in the middle of the night last night and was freaked out thinking I was spotting and had just had my 3rd chemical pregnancy in less than 6 months! 
Whew I was glad this morning when I realized it was just the dye from the progesterone capsules. Who designed these??
Anyone else going through this?

    Not going through this, but try to be more mindful and include TWs when you mention losses. :)

    This time around I'm on the oral orange ones. That freaked me out last time though! When you place your refill just ask the pharmacist for another manufacturer that isn't red. I don't recall the other color but my pharmacist switched them with no issue.

    I was on pills previously and had more stomach issues and more discharge than I do with my new medication, Endometrin.  Maybe ask about it when you see your doc?

    Sorry I've been on bump for awhile, but what does TW stand for? Sorry if I freaked anyone out. 

    @acgonzalez22 thanks for the tip! I'll try that.

    @Duckybears TW stands for Trigger Warning. Some boards use it a little differently, but I think on BMBs it's mostly to warn about mentions of loss. On that note, I'm very sorry for your losses. I'm a repeat PGAL too.

    I'm on the second day of mine and hadn't realized the likelihood of the red dye causing colored discharge  :# Glad you pointed this out so my mind doesn't go straight to bleeding! Poor design indeed, although mine are intended for oral use but my doctor prescribed them as vaginal.
