My doc prescribed progesterone suppositories during my luteal phase, as a "oh, well, it can’t hurt" kind of thing. But, I’m going on vacation and the suppositories need to be kept cold. So, they prescribed prometrium to be taken vaginally instead.
I was wondering if anyone has used either or both of these supplements? Any ideas of the side effects? The warnings on the prometrium seemed scary (risk of stroke, dizziness, sleepiness, etc.)
Thanks!!

I have done the progesterone suppositories in the past and, in fact, will start them again tomorrow morning twice a day. It basically "tricks" your body into thinking you’re pregnant, so you have similar side effects, especially sore breasts. It was no biggie the first time and I’m expecting the same this time. Is there any chance you can take a little cooler or something until you can put them in a refrigerator? Good luck
I have used the Crinone/Prochieve applicators. I haven’t kept them in a refrigerator though. They are in room temperature in a drawer away from heat.
I have never had side effects…unless a bit of itching is considered one. Just be sure you clean out any residue.
