What are the goals?: It is hard to predict what would happen in that circumstance. The important thing to do is to use the medication exactly as directed by your doctor. I can not think of a reason why vaginal Progesterone would be prescribed in the way you describe. Contact the prescribing doctor and ask for clarification
