Guest guest Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 - YEAH! A fellow UD who is pg! That is wonderful news! I am so happy for you! I also have UD and I am TTC. Actually, I also take Prog each cycle to help implantation, if I conceive. So, here is my advice... If your insurance will cover it, try to see if you can get a prescription for Crinone gel, instead of the suppositories you are on. The gel clings moreso and doesn't come right back out. It is what I am taking and it is wonderful. I take it right before I go to bed (only take it once a day though) and then when I get up in the morning, nothing comes out. It stays in. Also, I do wear pantyliners just in case, but I have very minimal discharge from the gel. It is costly though, if not covered by insurance. My insurance does not cover fertilty stuff at all, but it does cover this, so maybe your will too. best wishes!!!!!

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 Hi , I've used the prog. supp. also and take them 2 times a day. I always take one at night and in the morning. In the morning I just wear a mini pad for a few hours while I'm at work and that seems to be fine. My Dr. put me 400mg 2x a day. He has told me that too much can't hurt you at all. I don't know about knowing how much stays in. You ment that yours pours out when you take that - I've never had that happen. I just had the Endometrial Biopsy done this past Friday. I'm waiting for the test results to see if the lining is thickening. I was also on the prog. for 9 days before the test. Hope you can find a schedule that works for you. Congratulations on your pg and I hope that everything goes good for you. Sheryl UU m/c x4 > Well, it finally worked at the time when I least expected it!
