Help~ instructions for Prog. suppository!!

baby56 · 04-14-2007, 07:33 PM

Hi. I am starting progesterone suppositories tomorrow night, but I didn't get instructions on how to use them. How do you put them in & how long do they stay in? Do I lay still for awhile after putting it in? Any advice would be a lot of help. Thanks.

I used prometrium vaginally. It is really just a matter of washing your hands and sticking them up there! Some stuff does tend to leak out, so I aways try to push them up as far as possible. You don't have to lie down after, but I found when I used them before bed, I had less leakage then if I put them in before work. Wear a mini-pad of some sort, if what you are using is oil based, it can get messy.

Good Luck with your 2ww!

Hi KC,
I've been on them since my transfer - I do it right when I go to bed as my RE asked me to lay down and not move around for about an hour. Lay a towel on your bed, lie down and then slide it in. I keep my knees bent for the first 10 mins or so - the suppositories start to be absorbed almost right away and you can feel it turn into liquid.

Let me know if you have any other questions...

I am have been on them since the day after ER, 3x a day. They actually gave me a 'tool' similiar to a tampon. That's not the most comfortable thing either. Like Lisa said...make sure you wear a liner or something....

Good Luck!

Here is a link about Crinone:

I use it before I go to bed so it doesn't get nasty. No need for pads.

HTH,
