Anyone using Progesterone suppositories?

gotbaby40 · March 2018

Hi Ladies! I'm 40 yrs old, 5W 3D, had 2 MCs, and according to the stats I'm a geriatric high risk pregnancy...LOL! Boy I tell you I'm so happy I don't worry about what people call me. I'm inserting one progesterone suppository each night. Are any of you ladies using them?

Yup. Twice daily. Our baby is due to IVF so I need progesterone since I am not making any of my own.

Yep, i do and i haved used them for all 3 of my pregnancies. The ones I using now are red so you can just imagine how I feel everytime I go to the restroom and see red. I naturally have low progesterone so that why I need them. Good luck ladies.

@kiwi2628 have you experienced any cramping? I started the progesterone yesterday and I'm cramping a little. Just feels weird.

rossynotreadyfor3 · March 2018

Yes, i did right after I started using it all 3 times. It does feel weird. I still get cramping and I've been using it for about 3 weeks now.

Wow @rossynotreadyfor3! Seeing red would freak me out too. It's comforting knowing that you've used them with all three of your babies.

Yep. Mine’s a gel suppository, twice a day until 10 weeks.

Hey, another old lady! I'm also 40.

IVF pregnancy, so I'm on Endometrin suppositories 3x/day in addition to PIO shots (hate them!). Haven't asked yet how long this clinic will keep me on them.

Didn't know there was a red version out there. That sounds awful!

I’m on them 3x/day. I’ve had several miscarriages so hopefully the progesterone along with other meds I’m on is working. I normally have spotting and haven’t noticed any this time. I’m 8 + 4.

@rossynotreadyfor3 Why would they make them red?! Def not designed by a woman.

@rossynotreadyfor3 mine are red too! I hate it so much! I’ve been bitching about them for weeks. Why oh whyyy would they make them red?

Mine are red as well but oral. I think the red ones are intended as oral so the red is a smooth coating to make swallowing it easier, but Dr's have been using it as a suppository for faster absorbtion. I have P-2 written on my pill.

Yup, IVF pregnancy so I use the suppositories every morning. They tested my progesterone last week and it was >120 so I should be able to stop them after my 7 week ultrasound if everything looks good.
