Suppositories vs supplement pills?

Question

My doctor gave me progesterone pills 200mg..I’m reading that a lot of people are doing the suppositories. I read it absorbs better than the pills. Anyone have any info or experience with this? Heard it’s gross, but wouldn’t mind taking one for the team to make sure baby is healthy!

Answer

I was taking the pills and my baby is just fine. He’s 6 months now.

Answer

Theyre just as fine to take.

Answer

I’m doing suppositories and have nothing gross to say about them. I think personally it depends on your doctor and what they prefer or have had success pregnancies! Good luck and try not to stress!

Answer

I’m using them right now for the first time. I’ve been using them one week. I put them in at night, then kind of feel the residue come out throughout the day - I wear a panty liner so it’s not as messy. I sort of feel itchy and irritated from time to time - not constant. I saw my OB yesterday and he said that’s normal from the medicine.  
Sorry TMI - What I didn’t tell him is that my butt is also itchy. I’m guessing when I wipe, I wipe the medicine on my butt and now that itches too. Anyone else experience this or am I crazy? 😂
