progesterone cream success

GF
Is anybody having to use progesterone cream? My midwives obviously can't write prescriptions for progesterone so they're having me wait till Monday to speak with their consulting OB physician who does the anatomy scans for their mamas who they care for during pregnancy and in the mean time told me to buy progesterone cream, I don't have insurance we pay out of pocket for the midwives , I'd rather not have to spend 500$ on progesterone supplements has anyone had success with just the cream??
