progesterone?

Just got put on progesterone tonight to stop labor. In a weeks time I'm 54% effaced at 23 weeks. Baby boys head is sitting up against my cervix. I have to insert it vaginally. I have no idea how far up to put it up there?... and what if I have to go pee which I have to do every 6 minutes? I forgot to ask my doctor those two questions. Anyone know??

Usually they dissolve. Now based on the type your doctor prescribed, you may have discharge. I was on prometrium, and I wore pantyliners. Hope that helps

He gave me the tablets and put me on bedrest with only bathroom privileges. Yeah I'll have to call to make sure. I'm so nervous to take it even though it'll keep my baby inside longer and keep him alive!

Are you taking injections? ? I thought those were only administered by a nurse.  I would definitely check with the doctor
