Re: Thimerosal in Progesterone

[Guest guest]

Hi Sharon,

I, too was administered progesterone injections to prevent miscarriage so I

would be extremely interested in knowing what you find out concerning the

idea that mercury may be present in progesterone. Please let me know.Thank

you, R.

I did not receive the progesterone during pregnancy, however I did receive

the shot after I gave birth for birth control. I breastfed too. So I wonder

what significance that might have.

Hi all:

I also took Progesterone (vaginal inserts) during my pregnancies.........I

would have never thought about this.

Bonita,

I know there is Thimerosal in the RhoGAM I was given, but I am still waiting

to hear back from someone more knowledgeable regarding progesterone. I was

given weekly injections and they took blood as well to monitor the levels.

You were given a suppository which yet another good question.

Hopefully someone in the group will be able to confirm or deny these

questions.

I also use this form of Progesterone, primarily for PMS. It is compounded by

my pharmacist in a soluable 'wax'-type preparation (which dissolves

internally, releasing the hormone directly inside the body). It must be kept

refrigerated, and therefore would not contain any preservatives, such as

thimerisol. No sure about the IV (injection) form of Progesterone, though...
