Anyone on progesterone suppositories?

[lisaf]

Ok.. I do have to add that my skin in that area is umm... nice and moisturized? esp around the backside when it drips there.... TMI?

 

[AreIn83]

I haven't noticed extra moisturization but I thought I was getting a yeast infection 2 weeks ago, itched like crazy!

 

[reedsgirl1138]

I take them orally but I still have that extra "wet" feeling down there. Its crazy. And I have started getting headaches after I take them...called the dr today and found out I will be on them til at least 14 weeks...I wonder why so long?? I will be talking more to him at my appt on thursday.

 

[AreIn83]

I don't know how long I'll have to use mine, either. I'm really thankful for them but on the other hand, it's getting to be a pain in the ass.

I thought they were supposed to go in vaginally?

Sorry, bad joke, couldn't resist!!

Maybe because one of your little peas was measuring a little behind? The first Tri is 13-14 weeks depending on the calculation, they know the placenta takes over by the time the first Tri is over... no harm to being on it longer and maybe they're just being extra careful?

lisa-OMG that was too funny!

 

[reedsgirl1138]

The little one was only a week behind. I called cause they are given me awful headaches within a hour taking them.

On a brighter note I was having problems drinking anything but I did find that A&W Rootbeer seems to agree with me!! YAY

 

[lisaf]

ooh, rootbeer sounds yummy!!
I know some women are told to stop at 13 weeks, so the one week behind might be why they said 14 for you? Just my guess, sure beanie is fine!

Lol... wonder if your doc will tell you to start using them vaginally. come join the mess

 

[AreIn83]

OMG I ate 2 6 inch Subway subs today...

 

[reedsgirl1138]

Wow you must have been hungery!! Arein LOL

 

[AreIn83]

And I want another....geez. Nausea should be kicking in again in about 2 hours so I'll be off this kick soon.

 

[Amos2009]

Lisa- that was funny!!

Arein- wow- you eat like I do!!!

Reeds- I asked my doc about the progesterone today and I have to take it til the end of the 12th week- so maybe for twins they just give you an extra week?? You know- double the fun because of the twinsies??

 

[AreIn83]

Double the fun

 

[reedsgirl1138]

LOL and double the bottles, diapers and crying but so worth it!! LOL

Amos how was that scan?

 

[Amos2009]

The scan started out terrible. There were 2 students, the physician's assistant and the sonographer in there. I told her when I went in that I already knew something was wrong but that I should be 8 weeks. She stuck the wand in me and said oh no...see that's where the sac was....so the students and the assistant were all comforting me and saying they were sorry. I wanted to cry but since I already felt something was wrong I held it in. She moved the wand around again and said Oh look....there's the sac. It's way high in the uterus. (I thought she already knew that based on my other scans!) I said- yeah, but there's no baby or heartbeat is there. She said oh yes there is...look. So I finally looked and could not believe my eyes. There it was- strong as everything!!! So I asked- what is this gray stuff I have been passing over the past week? Long story short- they did an exam and evidently the progesterone I am on coils up in the hoo hoo and when it comes out can take on all kinds of weird colors and look like tissue. OMG....someone could have WARNED me about that don't ya think????

 

[bernina]

Oh Amos what a torturous experience you had at your scan. Of course it ended quite well but still!! Sorry you had to go through that. Glad to hear they figured out what the discharge was. I know my progesterone gets gunky but it's never been anything other than yellow or cream colored. I'm sure each brand is different though and so glad you finally have some answers!

 

[reedsgirl1138]

OH my gosh!! Yeah that would have been nice to know!! I am so glad that all is well!! I just knew it would be. We all are going to have happy and healthy april babies....well okay I may deliver in March but still.

 

[Tigerlilies]

Oh man Amos! What an ordeal! But I bet words couldn't describe how happy you were when you saw the HB!!!!!!

I get the creamy, yellowish discharge too but no special colors....I wonder if it was gray from any dry blood left over from earlier issues....?

 

[Amos2009]

Dietra- they actually said that could be the reason.

Yuck....feeling nauseas so going to drink some peppermint tea.
