I switched from a RE in Czech Republic who did my IVF and supplied my progesterone- vaginal suppositories, to a local OBGYN who gave me a further prescription for progesterone in the form of prometrium capsules (the little pink 100mg balls). My prescription says to be taken vaginally, but the info leaflet says to be taken orally.
Can you take the same capsule either orally or vaginally as a suppository?
Hey girls ~ was told yesterday that having Prometrium prescribed as a suppository was ludicrous ~ that Crinone Gel is mega better and sticks as opposed to the Prometrium which just drips out "because it was made to be taken orally ~ not vaginally ~ and anyone who suggests it is just playing with being a Fertilization Specialist"....
Studies in humans cannot rule out the possibility of harm. Therefore, Prometrium capsules should be used during pregnancy only if indicated.
As a preventative measure, my RE prescribed prometrium for me. I was a little squeamish about taking the suppositories so I received the tablet form. I need to take 2 tablets 3x a day.
I'm looking at the bottle right now and I'm a feeling anxious about it. I'm worried about the possible side affects. I'm scared about fooling around with my hormone levels. Please, please tell me I'm being silly.

My current pregnancy I started taking prometrium in 100mg capsules 3 times a day 3 days after ovulation. I was extremely tired the whole time on it. The only thing my dr said I could do was to take a b6 vitamin at the same time. It also helped with my morning sickness. But I would have her ask her dr before she starts taking anything to help.

Crinone vaginal gel, intramuscular progesterone, and Prometrium capsules are natural progesterone preparations which are safe to use during pregnancy. In woman with recurrent pregnancy loss heparin and baby aspirin are helpful to keep open the blood vessels in the placenta. Steroids may also be helpful since they act by inhibiting the cellular immune response. The duration of treatment depends on your particular situation.
i just responded to this on the other post! : ) i use the oral capsules, but as vaginal suppositories (i have in the past-using shots now) they weren't bad at all, and weren't super messy or anything.. i was afraid to bd with them since i was afraid it would "push" the medicine out.. but i had some OHSS this cycle anyways so even on the shots we couldnt' bd anyways.. i'll be going bakc to vaginal capsules next time!!
5 - 8 at this time). They prescribed Prometrium capsules that I insert vaginally 4 times a day. Do you think there's any hope for pregnancy this cycle???
What type of suppositories are you taking? Gel or capsules? I have taken both, and personally I find the gel easier to deal with b/c it seems to be staying in more than the capsules, which would melt and leak out quickly... I did IVF, had my ET over a week ago, and I am incredibly bloated! I put on a close fitted dress to wear this morning, looked in the mirror... and decided to go with looser pants lol :) Welcome and best wishes!
Does anyone know if it is ok to release the medicine out of capsules and mix the medicine up in juice? I have a problem swallowing pills and was not sure if this was an option????
I've been doing some research on prometrium . I was prescribed prometrium since the month of Feb. In Feb.,I ovulated with the help of clomid and prometrium. My progesterone levels were 34. In March my cycle never came and I contacted my Dr on Apr. 9 letting her know I never had my cycle. She schedule me to take some test to take . On 14 my cycle visited and was very weird . her instructions for the prometrium is to take on cycle day 16 and continue to take until a cycle comes.
