Progestrone???

Hi Gals!!!

Just started progestrone vag suppositories this morning.  I am on 100mg 2X a day for the 12 weeks.  Any advice on what I am going to be feeling?  I actually didn't see the nurse, DH picked everything up for me as I was busy with my daycare kids, so I don't know much except how often and where to put them....  Any help would be great in signs and symptoms to look forward too.

I go tomorrow for beta's and again on Thursday.  Will keep you posted when I find out the numbers.

Thanks again

The progesterone caused me increased pregnancy symptoms.

With regards to when to put them in and where you just insert it vaginally. I put mine in after my shower in the morning and before bed. I wore a panty liner because of the increased moisture and when the pill dissolves it can create some white substance. Excuse the details but it is what I experienced!

You might get lucky like I did.  I didn't have any side effects from Progesterone and never had any pregnancy symptoms either.  No morning sickness, sore or bigger boobs...nada.

Hey how are things Sarah?  Enjoying your little one I bet!!!  The Dr told me to stop the metformin again, and I AM NOT!!!!  Got a refill for 6 mths from the fam dr and still have 3 months on hold that , should do it eh?  Not taking any chances this time around, pulling out the works, baby asprin, progest, and Met, plus all the other vits I take.

Progesterone made my symptoms so much worse. I had bad morning sickness and I was soooo emotional. But it's SO worth it!!

I was on progesterone for about two weeks before morning sicknes**** me. I also stopped it before it left. My doctor said it wasn't causing my morning sickness. Who knows. I know I had gross "discharge" but it was really the suppository dissolving.

I got done with my progesterone supp. about two weeks ago, and I would like to say...Thank God! Don't get me wrong I would do or take anything to prevent a problem with my pregnancy and the babies health, but it was not fun. I was really sick with morning sickness (all day sickness should be the term), emotional, dizzy, and toward the end I got a horrible yeast infection (my OB says more than likly due the progesterone). I also had constipation and hard stools(which is a symptom listed on the RX label). I know you can get these symptoms regardless just from pregnancy, but mine were intensified! Keep your feet up for about 45 minutes -1 hour when placing the suppositories. Otherwise you will notice more in the toliet than staying inside you. I was told 30 minutes by the Pharmacist, but I laid down longer and I noticed a difference.

 I also had some yeast infection like symptoms while on them so I asked my Dr. if I could switch to oral pills. That was so much better. I was on Prometrium  200 mg 2xs per day. That worked out super for me. So If the Vag. ones bother you, there are options. The only symptoms I had was being very tired.   

the vaginal are the best even though a pain because the vagina is so vascular... i was on them from week 4 until 13 weeks....I would set my alarm an hr early stick it in and lay for an hour and the other one before bed. be careful to make sure it doesnt fall out if you get up too soon to pee etc.

i grew a beard! well not a a full on beard lol but had a ton of facial hair and increased preg symptoms and was soooooooo horny I wanted to jump my husband all the time.


praying for a sticky bean!! :)

Oh yeah!! I forgot the hair growth! I have PCOS and so this is a problem anyways, plus I'm Italian...LOL. I had to shave my legs and underarms every day where as before I didn't shave but every 3-5 days and I was fine. Now realize, you may not have any symptoms at all. I just wonder if having RNY made the symptoms stronger for some of us???
