Progesterone Suppository expectations

I just had our transfer done on June 23rd. I was told to use Progesterone suppositories twice daily. I have put 6 in (I'm not even sure I'm doing that right) and nothing except some nasty white cream has come out since. I am starting to worry. I was told the capsules wouldn't disintegrate, and they would just "fall out". It hasn't happened yet and it's making me nervous. Does anyone have any similar experiences or suggestions. My doctors office acts as if its no big deal. I'm just not feeling so sure.

I am also on Progestrone vaginal suppositories. You are doing them right don''t panic. I know we all just want to do everything "just" right so as not to mess anything up. The progestrone is absorbed into your bloodstream. This is to support your pregnancy if you become pregnant. Did you Dr. tell you to make sure this is the "last thing" you do at night. If you and hubby are intimate it will cause your husband to have "difficulties," if you know what I mean. Anyway, relax put a pantyliner on and remember the white sticky stuff willl be worth it in the long run. Good Luck and lots of Baby Dust!!!!!!

the capsules do not fall out.  i use them 2 times a day too and what is happening to you is what is supposed to.  you put them in, lay down for 15-20 minutes and then right after, usually you have a good amount of the nasty white sutff but for at least an hour after it slowly leaks, which is normal.  your body takes the hormone and absorbs it and then the waxy shells slowly comes out the way you described.

they can make you tired and very bloated.  that is what happened to me.  Good luck
