How well does progesterone suppositories work when you are pregnant?


How well does progesterone suppositories work when you are pregnant?

my doc gave them to me to decrease the risk of miscarriage i started them at 5 weeks & up until 12 weeks. it was horrible i had to take them 4 times a day, & yes they r pretty nasty cuz of the leaks. but in the end, i have a now 2 month old healthy baby boy.

While I was trying to get pregnant the doctor came to the conclusion that I needed progesterone support. So....one month I did on suppository a day....didn't get pregnant that time. The next month the doctor upped it to two a day (morning and evening). I got pregnant! I continued on the suppositiories until the end of my first trimester. We now have beautiful 4 year old twins.

My doc put me on them for my first trimester. I started spotting when I was about 6wks. Doc sent me for ultrasound & blood tests. Tests showed low hormone level. No complications throughout the rest of pregnancy. Had a HEALTHY baby boy - now 21mo.

TMI... beware, they're pretty nasty. Wear a pad.
