299260 tn?1304216105 Good morning :) Well, I was prescribed progesterone suppositories because my luteal phase averages 9-10 days & I've been TTC since February last year. I started taking the progesterone two weeks ago. I'm past my usual luteal phase. It's now 12 DPO & no sign of AF, yet negative pregnancy tests. I usually at least get spotting by 9 DPO, but so far, nothing. Has anyone had experience with progesterone supp. while TTC?
Avatar f tn Which are better? I'm on injecctions, 1ml of progesterone a day, and 0.2 estradiol every 3rd day. But I've seen many web pages that say the jelly is better...vaginal suppositories? That they provide a higher pregnancy rate. is this true?
1219499 tn?1410749730 I am also taking Estrogen in the pill form and she also wants to put me on Progesterone suppositories. I might just pass on the suppositories and instead do the weekly Progesterone shot when I get my BFP. My first cycle I had all the side effects - headaches (all day, every day), hot flashes, mood swings, and dry CM. This month my body must have been prepared and I havent had any side effects. But im taking the Estrogen to help with me being dry "down there" from the Clomid.
Avatar f tn This is my first month on Clomid, 50mg cycle days 3-7. I was also on Estradiol cycle days 8-12 and am now on progesterone suppositories cycle day 17 until I get my period or a positive pregnancy test. I had an HCG trigger shot 10,000 units (Profasi, Pregnyl) on cycle day 15. This is also my first month using fertilityfriend to chart my basal body temps. I have attached a link to my chart so that you can see my progress.
Avatar n tn Progesterone: 5.84 FSH: 8.7 Estradiol: 109 Considering my age, and from my limited knowledge, it seems like my FSH and Estradiol levels are not out of whack. However, could you please let me know what you think about my progesterone level. It seems low to me. Also, of course if you have any input as to my FSH and Estradiol levels, I would love to hear it.
691236 tn?1311199974 I had my trigger shot yesterday at 9am. My doc prescribed estradiol, prometrium (both in pill form) and progesterone suppositories for the next 2 weeks until my pregnancy blood test. Anyone else on these and do you know why? My doc just said my hormone levels were very low and he wanted to me take these to sustain the embryo if it does implant. Any knowledge/expereinece you have is greatly appreciated! Thanks girls!
Avatar f tn Originally my doctor said i would be on progesterone for 8 weeks but I only ended up taking the progesterone shots and suppositories from 2/20 - 3/12. My levels were high enough that I was able to switch from shots to pills. I'm now taking ESTRADIOL 2MG TABLETS (2x a day) and PROMETRIUM 200MG (3x day). It seems to be working. I now only have blood draws every 2 weeks.
1684615 tn?1306643198 Tablet : Dydrogesterone 10mg, Estradiol Valerate 2 mg, Folic Acid 5mg Progesterone 400Mg (Pessaries) Suppositories 400mg. I am still not clear what are heaping with me... Please help ...
Avatar f tn I wish I had an answer for you bc I'm going through the same thing ....as I type! I'm doing progesterone and estradiol (sp) also. It's not fun but I just keep taking showers and try to keep the area dry.
1272624 tn?1395434357 So after a week of stopping my estradiol and progesterone suppositories because they said I'm going to have a chemical pregnancy, my beta finally doubled every 45 hrs, they tell me my estradiol has dropped so now I'm going to maybe have an ectopic...I can't take this!
521893 tn?1212087846 I know I have low progesterone because with my 2 pregnancies I had to take progesterone suppositories in order to sustain the pregnancy. Me and my husband are trying for another baby, but I can't seem to get pregnant. We have been trying since our last son was born. After my 2 miscarriages before, it took us 14 mths to get pregnant with our 1st son. They prescribed me birth control but it didn't really help so I quit taking it. Can you please help me!!??
Avatar f tn The doctor said that if next test (after 2 days) the result is still that low and not doubling, i will stop the meds. I am on estradiol 2 mg 4 times a day, progesterone injections once a day, Crinone progesterone suppositories twice a day and Estrodiol patches that release approx. 100 mg in 24hrs. I've been crying since I knew the result. Please help me with your advice and experience!!!!
Avatar f tn Have any of u had to use glycerin suppositories for constipation? If so how horrible is it?
6322039 tn?1380727998 Anyway, I was started on bioidentical hormone replacement therapy almost one month ago, using an Estradiol patch, Estriol suppositories and progesterone orally. I have noticed an alleviation of my menopause symptoms such as the migraine headache and hot flashes but since my thyroid levels are still not where they should be, I haven't been feeling well yet. I've heard this can take some time, so I'm willing to be patient.
374593 tn?1257879950 I always thought that the estradiol was to make sure your lining was thick enough for implantation. Because I now the drugs like clomid can thin your lining making it impossible for the egg to implant. I could be wrong though.
Avatar f tn How long after a confirmed pregnancy are you suppose to continue taking Estradiol? Just read on the internet that it can cause birth defects and I can't reach my doctor to confirm this.
Avatar n tn I am on progesterone progesterone suppositories which I started last night. I am 40.5 years old. I have yet to see an RE. Any ideas? I am taking Vit Bcomplex, and women's vits. if I am pregnant by any stretch of the imagination do have any hope of keeping the pregnancy? How long does it take the progesterone to work if at all?
Avatar n tn I have some signs of PCOS so my Dr routinely puts me on progesterone suppositories in the second half of my cycle. Being even a bit over weight can also make your hormones a little wonky. May be a follow-up discussion with your Dr can give you enough details & a plan of attack to set things right before you try again...
Avatar n tn I am on 200 mg prometrium /5 mg estradiol, and metformin as well as tirosint. The prometrium and estradiol is for hot flashes. The metformin for prediabetes, couldn't get my a1c down, and tirosint for thyroid disease. My question is this...the prometrium and estradiol are causing my blood sugars to stay high, as well as make me very tired, as well as making me gain weight. I walk briskly at least 1 hour to 1 1/2 hour daily. I watch what I eat, low sugars, etc.
7649183 tn?1393014236 Menostar (estradiol transdermal system) 14 mcg per day - each 3.25 cm2 system contains 1 mg of estradiol. Vivelle-Dot® (estradiol transdermal system), 0.025 mg/day - each 2.5 cm² system contains 0.39 mg of estradiol USP for nominal* delivery of 0.025 mg of estradiol per day. Since the Menostar patch is applied once/weekly and contains 1 mg of estradiol, then that's around .14 mg/day (the data says .014 mg/day). The Vivelle-dot is applied twice/weekly and contains .
299260 tn?1304216105 Hi there- Sorry to hear that-I was told the same thing. My RE put me on estradiol (estrogen) and prometrium, which both come in a pill form. Then I also have to take progesterone suppositories. I guess the combination is supposted to help. Good luck to you!
