And I juse wanted to say a huge thank you to you! Thank you for responding to all my questions!!! ❤️ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesteroneuse-vaginally-any-pointersexperience-with-this/page/2#post-2558852 Sun, 29 May 2016 10:29:56 +0000 Weswife 2558852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@delight: like just lots of random feelings in the uterus region, tightness, heaviness... And it's not all the time either. I also have been emotional, picky with food... Just stuff like that and none of its major. I just don't want to get my hopes up and then be let down. I should really just ignore all of it and move on with life until testing day 😬 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesteroneuse-vaginally-any-pointersexperience-with-this/page/2#post-2558817 Sun, 29 May 2016 05:12:07 +0000 delight 2558817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weswife: I just went back and looked at my chart notes for this BFP cycle. On 8 &amp; 9 DPO I did write down that I had "lots of symptoms": light cramping, acid reflux (which I never get) and waking up hungry. I tested positive at 10dpo. Not sure if I can contribute any to the P, I don't think it made me feel any different. What are you feeling? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesteroneuse-vaginally-any-pointersexperience-with-this/page/2#post-2558808 Sun, 29 May 2016 01:00:56 +0000 Weswife 2558808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@delight: did you feel anything different with progesterone... I know I need to quick thinking about it, but stuff is different. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesteroneuse-vaginally-any-pointersexperience-with-this/page/2#post-2558460 Fri, 27 May 2016 20:51:20 +0000 Weswife 2558460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@delight: me too! I am worried about Clomid some the progesterone hormones are making me so emotional I don't need anymore things to make me whacka doodle </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesteroneuse-vaginally-any-pointersexperience-with-this/page/2#post-2557899 Fri, 27 May 2016 07:08:04 +0000 delight 2557899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weswife: good luck!

I hope the same for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesteroneuse-vaginally-any-pointersexperience-with-this/page/2#post-2557795 Thu, 26 May 2016 22:49:14 +0000 Weswife 2557795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@delight: on the fourth of June... 😬 And if not this month then we go to Clomid and more stuff 😕 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesteroneuse-vaginally-any-pointersexperience-with-this/page/2#post-2557763 Thu, 26 May 2016 21:40:00 +0000 delight 2557763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weswife: good luck this month!

I don't think I did. I never got sore boobs or anything, pregnant or not. I have read that P can cause pregnancy-like symptoms but I can't recall it ever happening to me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesteroneuse-vaginally-any-pointersexperience-with-this#post-2557738 Thu, 26 May 2016 21:02:17 +0000 Weswife 2557738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@delight: did you ever get pregnancy life symptoms when on progesterone the months you weren't pregnant? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesteroneuse-vaginally-any-pointersexperience-with-this#post-2543780 Sat, 07 May 2016 20:30:15 +0000 Weswife 2543780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@delight: thank you! Yes off progesterone as of yesterday but I have had absolutely no AF symptoms like I usually do! 😞 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesteroneuse-vaginally-any-pointersexperience-with-this#post-2543765 Sat, 07 May 2016 20:04:40 +0000 delight 2543765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weswife: yes I get cramps before AF. Have you stopped the progesterone yet? Sorry I didn't reply yesterday. You aren't hopeless. You will have your baby. Here's my story: birth control 15 years, then pregnant second month off. Miscarriage at 8 weeks. Three cycles later pregnant with my DD. Became pregnant again when she was 1 but that baby was sick and I lost her at 22 weeks. Worst time of my life. It took us 9 months again to get pregnant but then I had a miscarriage at 10 weeks (this past October). That is when we were referred to a specialist and we did lots of testing and I was put on progesterone and daily low dose aspirin. I was diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve and we were booked for our orientation for IUI/IVF in March. Found out in February I was pregnant and I am 15 weeks now with a healthy baby. There is always hope. I know it is frustrating seeing everyone around you get pregnant and after a loss all you want is to be pregnant again. I've been there. Trust in your body and in your doctors and keep the faith. I hope it happens for you soon. :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesteroneuse-vaginally-any-pointersexperience-with-this#post-2543726 Sat, 07 May 2016 18:19:02 +0000 Weswife 2543726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oskarsmommy: not sure I am 15 days from my positive opk </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesteroneuse-vaginally-any-pointersexperience-with-this#post-2543723 Sat, 07 May 2016 17:51:29 +0000 oskarsmommy 2543723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weswife: how many dpo are you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesteroneuse-vaginally-any-pointersexperience-with-this#post-2543709 Sat, 07 May 2016 17:11:46 +0000 Weswife 2543709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@delight: did you ever have cramps or anything signally your period? I have nothing which is making me think I still have a change... Ugh </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesteroneuse-vaginally-any-pointersexperience-with-this#post-2543496 Fri, 06 May 2016 21:01:13 +0000 Weswife 2543496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@delight: oh also ok days dpo... Not sure I am exactly 14 days from the positive surge. But it doesnt mean I ovulated that exact day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesteroneuse-vaginally-any-pointersexperience-with-this#post-2543494 Fri, 06 May 2016 21:00:15 +0000 Weswife 2543494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@delight: it was a specialist my obgyn was out of the office. But here's my story. I was on birth control for ten years. Off for 5 months. We only tried the last two to get pregnant and on the second month it worked. Mc at almost 11 weeks baby was 8.5. No reason of why. Took nine weeks to get my first period. Then a 49 day cycle. (It was so long I was convinced I was pregnant). Oh also didn't track or anything my first pregnancy. Just used a app ( I know more now then I thought I ever would). Track ovulation but didn't have success during nine weeks... Then during 49 day cycle. Then this cycle track got a weak positive but a positive on the clear blue. Took progesterone... Now here I am five months later. Hopeless 😞 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesteroneuse-vaginally-any-pointersexperience-with-this#post-2543465 Fri, 06 May 2016 20:08:51 +0000 delight 2543465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weswife: I started taking them in December after our first appointment with a fertility specialist for recurrent losses. For the first two cycles I started them at 3dpo and stopped them around 13dpo after getting negatives. I had always had my positives previously by 10dpo. Once I stopped I got my period within a couple of days. So December and January my luteal phase was 14/15 days. Before progesterone I was lucky to get 10 days. I got pregnant on the February cycle. My doctor had given me a 3 month supply to start and then extended it when I was pregnant. </p> <p>I'm sorry you got a negative. Your luteal phase is just the time between ovulation and your period. Have you been charting your cycles? How many DPO are you now? Was it just a family doctor that gave you progesterone or a specialist? I hope that you find something that will work for you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesteroneuse-vaginally-any-pointersexperience-with-this#post-2543420 Fri, 06 May 2016 19:11:06 +0000 Weswife 2543420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@delight: how long were you on them? Also how do you find out how long your luteal phase is? I got a negative and I am completely heartbroken. My doctor said he wanted to schedule and appt. and the soonest I can get in is 2 months from now. I am not a happy camper... How did you get to take them monthly? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesteroneuse-vaginally-any-pointersexperience-with-this#post-2535562 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 06:25:28 +0000 SweetiePie 2535562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had to insert pills vaginally for other reasons, and I've also done the crinone gel/cream/whatever it is. </p> <p>I would lay down on my back for both.<br /> For the pill I would pretty much insert it as far as my finger would go before hitting much resistance. Everyone is different (I imagine) so you may have to adjust the first couple of times to figure out what is comfortable for you. </p> <p>I did prefer to do it at night right before bed so I could keep laying down after. But for the crinone my doc did eventually say he preferred them to be done in the morning. Something about movement and body temperature making them absorb better. But not sure if a pill would be the same. </p> <p>And lastly - ask your doctor! If she wants it at your cervix that will tell you it has to go pretty far up. But if she only wants it a couple inches in that will be much easier. </p> <p>Oh and this is random but at the drug store you may be able to find these little things that almost look like finger condoms 😂 Usually in the first aid section. I know it shouldn't bother me, but I really don't like the way it feels up there and I was worried about bacteria and stuff. So I used those little finger condom things to insert stuff up there and to help "clean out" the old crinone.<br /> There is a term for them that is escaping me. Definitely not finger condom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesteroneuse-vaginally-any-pointersexperience-with-this#post-2535535 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 05:26:36 +0000 FannyMae 2535535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weswife: yes, I got extremely dizzy/heart palpitations and super nausea at different stages. I started at around 7 weeks until 15 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesteroneuse-vaginally-any-pointersexperience-with-this#post-2535399 Wed, 27 Apr 2016 19:49:46 +0000 Winnie13 2535399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine are similar to yours and delights!! Little round pills that I just inserted near my cervix. It was gross in the beginning for sure, but then you get used to it!! Definitely wear a liner!! The P gave me some mild cramping and headaches. Nothing too difficult!! Best wishes and hopefully it works!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesteroneuse-vaginally-any-pointersexperience-with-this#post-2535335 Wed, 27 Apr 2016 18:06:53 +0000 Weswife 2535335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FannyMae: Did you get a funny taste in your mouth from the progesterone or get headaches? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesteroneuse-vaginally-any-pointersexperience-with-this#post-2534753 Wed, 27 Apr 2016 06:42:41 +0000 LAZB 2534753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine we little pills, and I would just lay down and push them up as far as I could reach. Definitely wear liners, things get messy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesteroneuse-vaginally-any-pointersexperience-with-this#post-2534730 Wed, 27 Apr 2016 01:28:47 +0000 FannyMae 2534730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine were like @jaguar , waxy pessaries that I would put in at night, lie down for half an hour and they melt inside. I would wear thick panty liners (like those light bladder leakage ones) but sometimes the waxy oiliness would make them unstick. GROSS!! Leakage when you go to the toilet, and it solidifies when it hits cold water too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesteroneuse-vaginally-any-pointersexperience-with-this#post-2534683 Tue, 26 Apr 2016 20:39:43 +0000 jaguar 2534683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weswife: Yep! But I always did the progesterone after... otherwise it was all a bit much! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesteroneuse-vaginally-any-pointersexperience-with-this#post-2534681 Tue, 26 Apr 2016 20:37:51 +0000 Weswife 2534681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jaguar and @delight random but hubby wants to know lol... Can you still bd while using? I mean not once in.. Mine are only at night but in general? </p>
