Question 1

we had our iui on 23rd july can we start progesterone suppositories? what will be its benefit.

Accepted Answer

Talk to yor doctor: The physician who performed your IUI will make those recommendations and should be able to describe to you the risks, benefits, and side effects.

Question 2

taking progesterone suppositories vaginally. now having white tissues in urine. what does that mean? did iui before 3 days

Accepted Answer

Medication: You are likely seeing the Progesterone suppository medication come out. That is the most likely scenario. If concerned schedule a visit and let your doctor look.

Question 3

is it normal to get pink discharge after taking progesterone suppositories vaginally? what is the reason for the pink discharge? did iui yesterday.

Accepted Answer

Discuss with doctor: Best to discuss this with your ob/gyn doctor. There could be a number of reasons. Plus, they need to manage your cycles, and monitor your response to the Progesterone suppositories prescribed. So don't delay.

Question 4

can you get a period on progesterone suppositories? i am on 100mg daily twice a day while i wait for testing day for my iui (july 4th will be 14 days). also, i will be using a off-brand blue dye preg test. rumors are saying blue dye is not accurate?

Accepted Answer

: Daily progesterone suppositories are given to prevent inadequate progesterone production by the ovary, however, if there is a significant decrease in ovarian production of progesterone subsequent to ovulation, bleeding may occur.  A home pregnancy test or a serum HCG test after "14 days" post IUI  should indicate if pregnancy has occurred.

Question 5

hi .. i'm 6 days post an iui. is it safe to take estrace (estradiol) if my estrogen level was 76? and progesterone suppositories if my progesterone was 7.5?

Accepted Answer

Yes: I assume your reproductive endocrinologist has a plan, and that these prescriptions were given to you as part of it. Estradiol and Progesterone are very commonly given as part of a fertility treatment plan, but you shouldn't try to adjust your medications yourself. Good luck!

Question 6

shall i continue to take junior aspirin after a neg pregnancy test  iui two weeks just finished cyclogest (progesterone) suppositories will i get a heavy period?

Accepted Answer

Depends: I normally have my patients continue their low-dose Aspirin throughout their cycle. Ask your physician though, they may want you to stop the low-dose Aspirin with a menstrual cycle. It normally doesn't increase the flow of the menstrual cycle though.

Question 7

can you go swimming when taking progesterone suppositories 100mg?

Accepted Answer

Suppository: As long as they are not causing you to be nauseated, I am unaware of any contraindication to progesterone suppositories and swimming. Probably prudent to wait an hour to swim to let the suppository to absorb before swimming.

Question 8

does progesterone suppositories cause brown discharge ?  i'm 5weeks 4days btw

Accepted Answer

Not really: It's common to have some brown spotting early in pregnancy. It is not caused by the Progesterone though. An ultrasound in a week or so should be able to see if you have a viable embryo. In the meantime, you should continue the Progesterone as directed by your doctor. And call the doctor if you have any bright red bleeding!

Question 9

i'm on progesterone suppositories for luteal phase.twice a day.does it need to be 12 hours apart?

Accepted Answer

No: Progesterone suppositories do not need to be taken exactly 12 hours apart. However it's a good idea to take them 10-12 hours apart and in a regular schedule in order to not forget!

Question 10

can progesterone suppository effect the 21 day progesterone blood test? last month (w/out) i was  at 19.7 this month with i'm at 34.

Accepted Answer

Progesterone: Yes, you are taking supplemental progesterone so it will raise your level.
