A member asked:

Can the use of progesterone suppositories in early pregnancy cause light pink spotting and lower abdominal pressure?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Place the suppository no further than one fingerjoint or approximately an inch and a half into the vaginal canal and no further. Placing it too far can irritate the cervix and also cause cramping and a fullness feeling along with spotting.
