So I just got my yesterday! My obgyn prescribed me these progesterone capsules. Can these be used vaginally? When I asked the pharmacist he had no idea. It's 200mg once a day.

@Mrs.Pinecone316: Thank you! I'm so excited! So did you take two different kind with the same pregnancy? Which did you prefer?

I take these, 200mg once a day, the generic version of Prometrium I believe. I take it orally because it says so on the package insert and the written directions from the doctor. The different designs are from two different prescription refills, but they are the same pill.

I took those exact ones vaginally! Just inserted them as far as possible with a finger.

@ChasingARainbow: I believe so. My doctor said I could take them either way, but recommended vaginally.

I used generic Prometrium and was told I could take them either way. I've taken it both and much preferred it vaginally. When I took it orally, I had bouts of dizziness that I could not shake.

I took those vaginally. I was told the side effects are less than taking orally.

@ChasingARainbow: well enough I suppose. There is definitely increased discharge.

@Tidybee: I spoke to my ob today. She said not to take it vaginally. So I guess I'm stuck with all the crappy side effects.
