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?

You should not stop prometrium until your beta. If you are pregnant,stopping could cause a mc. Prometrium will delay period. It is best to finish the cycle with a beta before stopping. I know you don't think you are pregnant, but better to be safe than sorry.
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 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!
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!
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?
Hi, I hope someone can answer this question. I am 6 weeks preg., via IVF and have HCG that has doubled and progesterone has been increasing, but the last test my pregesterone went down. Is this a normal fluctation or should I be worried... here ar my numbers:
HCG 90-165-324-1700
Progesterone, 29.8, 36.
I took progesterone (same as prometrium) in oil shots (IVF) - not fun but definitely worth it - until 12 weeks of pregnancy.
Miranda, are you pregnant? did I miss the big announcement?
Maybe I will ask him to add prometrium in addition to crinone. Originally he had prescribed only prometrium but it was a vaginal suppository. I did not know you can get those in pills, maybe I should ask for that
ita17 - Thank you for sharing, I am glad it is working. As I had a failed IVF, I am trying to analyze every aspect so that I have a success next time.
Hello ladies, I had my 4th week blood test for my beta hcg level this morning and my result were good at 604iu.
Later this afternoon when I went to the bathroom I noticed that I was bleeding not lightly nor heavily but red nevertheless. I'm pregnant after an IVF, so I'm taking oral estrace tablets and vaginal capsules of Prometrium to support my pregnancy.
Very quickly, since I went off the pill in August 2007, I suffered a m/c in December. On 4/14 AF came on time (for the first time might I add) so I figured maybe my cycle will be regular. Well it was from 4/14-4/18 and pretty much consisted of heavy spotting and barely any cramping (unusual for me). Then on 4/26-5/1 - same thing!! So then I went to the OBGYN, after an u/s he believed that I wasn't ovulating. So he put me on Prometrium 200mg for 12 days.
