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.

Yes, that's what I did
-
Good question, I took those specific ones orally but a different kind vaginally. Congrats!!
-
@LAZB: was it these exact pills?
-
@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.
-
@Tidybee: Does it dissolve well?
-
I took those vaginally. I was told the side effects are less than taking orally.
-
Um, thats a problem that the pharmacist coud not tell you how to take this medication!...call you md to double check. I took vaginal progesterone pills inserted vaginally with my lo. Can't remember the brand.
-
I took oral prometrium with my first pregnancy, it said oral dose on bottle.
-
@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.
