progesterone shots

[mandyleighb89]

I have to start progesterone shots. I'll be taking them every day until I'm 36 weeks.
Does anyone else have to take them?

I'm 20+w...I was on oral tabs also till last month but Thats been stopped now.

Woah that's interesting.
I didn't see anything about a pill when I was reading. Is it squishy? Or what? Does it just dissolve?

I get a shot every week, I'm really tired of it but when I think about my baby I'm like give it to me. It's not that bad unless the nurse hits a nerve, then it hurts for a few days... it's all worth it

O I see that may be why they are giving u the shots.  I'm already 31 weeks. So i think they are just doing something simple to get me through for a couple weeks

[mandyleighb89]

I'm 14+3.

I have been taking progesterone shots since week 3 and will be continuing too. They are painful initially but then you get used to the weekly prick! Don't worry!

[mandyleighb89]

I wonder if I can get that. It seems less painful.

I don't have to take shots i have to get a cream to be inserted nightly. Waiting to get it.
