I start my progesterone suppositories tonight...I just had a couple of questions for anyone that's used them.

Do I take it out of the fridge and let it warm up a bit, or do I put it in cold?

Do I put it in as far as I can?

How long do I have to be in bed before I get up after putting it in? (it said to use at bedtime, but i'm thinking if I have to use the bathroom at night etc)

What if we DTD...Do I put it in afterwards? Will it still work? or should we use something like condoms? (sorry for TMI LOL)

Does Progesterone supplements change your temps?

What side effects should I expect?

Thanks Ladies! I think I O'd yesterday since my temp went up some (I don't think it went up much because it was super cold in my room this morning and I had my mouth open before I took my temp)...I hope to get cross hairs tomorrow or the next day

You put yours in the fridge? Mine was in a prefilled tube with progestrone gel.

Yeah it says on the package to put in the fridge...It's a compound suppository.

Ok, mine were a little different but I can answer some of your questions:


Do I take it out of the fridge and let it warm up a bit, or do I put it in cold? Not sure

Do I put it in as far as I can? I would because you want as much as possible to be absorbed. Don't be surprised if you have leakage, it happens.

How long do I have to be in bed before I get up after putting it in? (it said to use at bedtime, but i'm thinking if I have to use the bathroom at night etc) I layed down for about 20 minutes with mine. I had to do them at 5pm. They probably say bedtime so you feel the least amount of side effects.

What if we DTD...Do I put it in afterwards? Will it still work? or should we use something like condoms? (sorry for TMI LOL) Feel free to BD right after!!

I have never charted so I do not know

What side effects should I expect? You may feel pregnant. Sore BB's, increased tiredness ect...

Hope this helps!

Thanks Missy!!! I don't know why i'm so nervous, probably because I've never taken anything like this before.

My doctor just prescribed me some. She said to put it in as far as I could and do it right before bed to sleep though most of the side effects. She also said to use the bathroom right before hand.
