Re: Started those dreadful progesterone supps

they really arent that bad. i have been taking them for a month and a half and will most likely be on them until week 12 of this PG. yes, there is some leakage, but if you wear a pantyliner, it isnt so bad.

good luck!

Re: Started those dreadful progesterone supps

yes, they are vaginal and you put it in with an applicator just like a tampon.

Re: Started those dreadful progesterone supps

I would not mind some clarification as well. I've been just taking them out of their plastic containers and inserting them directly like tampons. They do fall out at some point during the day when I use the bathroom. The nurse warned me that's likely to happen. Is everyone having the same experience? Is there an actual applicator to be used? Do you insert it directly?

Re: Started those dreadful progesterone supps

There are 2 types of the suppositories. Endometrin comes with this little wand that helps u insert them. The progesterone capsules don't have a wand and u have to use your finger. (Sorry to be so graphic----no other way to explain it though.)

The capsules are fun when you HAVE to put one in and you are in a public bathroom!!! You know people can see what you are doing through the crack!Chat Icon

Yikes! No one can see me do it.

I do it at home mostly though.

They burn and itch a bit which blows.
