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?
Everything is going great. I am on baby aspirin a day and 200mg 2x prometrium. its working for me! progesterone does an amazing job at holding pregnancies, and the baby asprin is to thin you blood so more goes to the uterus. This can also help if you have a blood clotting issue. i have never been tested for anything but i wanted to try 1 more time first with these medicines and i believe its really helping me.

If you are bleeding a lot but are still on prometrium, it might just be that your cervix is bleeding from having been manipulated.
I have my blood test on Monday. I am still taking Prometrium suppositories. Do you know if Prometrium will delay a period? I was gonna call my dr today but I feel like a nag!
I was on crinone (vaginal) and prometrium during my first pregnancy (IVF), and on prometrium only the second time around (natural pregnancy). Best wishes for the remainder of your pregnancy!
I think prometrium will raise your levels whether you're pregnant or not...but hopefully this is your month!!! Best of luck!
s 90 mg of progesterone. Does this seem low? Before (with a different dr) I was on 400 prometrium and then switched to 800 mg compounded progesterone in a vaginal suppository. Are the dosages somehow different or am I getting 1/8 what I was before?
Keep the hope alive, seems like u had a good cycle. u should not stop promitrium until the tey u too...it support the environment in the 2WW when the embroy is trying to implant, for people who have low progesterone. Get ur beta blood work done....u are much past due your wait period, so the blood test should give u the right results...the HCG beta test is not impacted by the promitrium, so I would have that done to be totally sure, before I give u hope.
Some get their periods anyway, but other have to stop taking prometrium before AF shows. They usually tell you to take it until you take a pregnancy test, then if positive, you'll continue to take it, and if negative, you'll stop. Best of luck!
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.
s the same thing - but I was on 200mg oral prometrium for the first 13 weeks. I took it at night so I never noticed any side effects except for the one day I forgot to take it at night and took it in the morning. Then I was super dizzy and probably shouldn't have driven! So then are you going to have to take it multiple times during the day? I literally took it right before I went to sleep and was fine. Good luck.
Hello, for my IVF protocol my RE has recommended crinone vaginal inserts vs the usual progestrone shots. On my last IVF I was on the sma eprotocol and I got my AF 2 days before my Beta. So I am wondreing if crinone is as effective. Has anyone had any success with Crinone, while Crinone is less painful but at this point I am willing to walk on a bed of nails to get pregnant so I want to go for the more effective progestrone.
