Progesterone question
Sorry y’all are here.
I’m ttc after two losses back to back earlier this year. I don’t conceive without progesterone supplements, but ended up with two chemicals at about 5 and then 6 weeks.
I was just given the green light after I waited three cycles and had blood work done (all normal) to begin letrozol and progesterone, but I ended up starting my period overnight 💔
I’m just wondering about the progesterone. I was given 400 mg and the instructions said to take it orally. I’ve never NOT gotten pregnant on progesterone, but had always taken it vaginally. I called and asked and they confirmed that I should take it by mouth before bed. I’ve never heard of this. Literally everyone talks about a suppository or a shot in oil if you’re going through <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a>, so obviously if it was as effective wouldn’t everyone take it orally? Has anyone else been told anything about oral progesterone? I looked it up online and it says oral is for use in hormone replacement for menopause etc but not for ttc so now I’m doubting my doctor knows what she’s talking about (it was an MA but still).
Does anyone have any advice or similar experiences?!
