progesterone suppository irritates vagina, cervix ?

Post by tuna72 »

Hi all,

Anyone has had experience about progesterone can irritate vagina and cervix and cause bleeding.

My progesterone was very low on 12dp3dt ( 2) and also my hcg: 55. And I had heavy bleeding +cramping from that time. Doctor increase progesterone suppositorry form 2 to 3 /200mg/day. 2 day later the bleeding stopped and the blodd test was progesterone 14, hcg 101. So we keep hoping that it's evitable pregnancy. However, after the bleeding stop I started to have spotting and it's coincident with the time I used suppositorry. I have to lay in bed for at least 30' after inserting the suppository and when I get up, blood come out.
Since yesterday, it's not spotting anymore, bright, red blood comes out right away after I stand up that enough to stain a half of panty liner and after that just pinkish and brownish spotting and everything is clear before I start to insert another one.


Before I only use Prometrium ( very small capsule) but when the nurse told me that the progesterone level was very low so I switch it to Progesterone ( a generic one, because I think I didn't store the prometrium appropriately). It's a big bullet shape almost 4 times the size of prometrium ( like Preparation H : a rectum suppository) . Do you think the size and generic drug causes this problem?

Any idea , please ? I'm waiting the result of the 3 blood work but it's freak me and my husband out everytime I see blood. Our hope go up and down many times a day because of that

Good luck everyone
