I had to use a progesterone suppository and I also had spotting. I went to the hospital and the OB said it's a normal side effect and not to worry. She had me stop taking it at that point since I was far enough along to be able to go off of it anyway.
@heathaah: When do you use the suppository? Morning, night? Is it coincidence that the "spotting" is only happening in the morning? Are you using the supp at night?
For my prescription they gave me an oral pill but instructed me to use it as a suppository.
I'm not pregnant (yet!) but I'm on Prometrium suppositories following an IUI and I definitely have been getting some spotting-tinged CM this time around though it could be because I had a terrible IUI experience this past time.
Hang in there!
Congrats again H! I'm so glad the spotting wasn't anything to be worried about.
I definitely have had some spotting while on the suppositories, but it was always around 5-6 dpo and only then fwiw. I think the prometrium in oil kind were generally less irritating for me than the endometrin dry tablet kind. However, the endometrin always 'came out' as white, the same color as the tablet, but the prometrium gel caps were peach in color so the discharge was always pinky from that.
Sorry everyone...I could read posts yesterday but couldn't respond!
@snmcdowell: Thank you. That's what they are telling me, just a normal side effect. Could be from it irritating my cervix. I can't wait to go off them!!!
@umagurl: I do it about mid-afternoon, only because that was the time of day I got them on day 1, so I did it immediately. But the medicine pretty much stays in for the rest of the day, but comes out in the morning after I have been up for about an hour or so.
@Storm0075: I guess I'd rather deal with a goopy hooha than a shot!! I'm sorry!!!
Mine is a gel. It is called Crinone, I think?
Medicine came out again this morning, but all white! :)
@heathaah: I asked my nurse last night about the suppositories since it was my designated night for the shot. Apparently the main difference is that the shot is shown to be more effective. The shot starts at 16-20 weeks and I have to take it till 36-37 weeks. The shot is to prevent preterm labor, I don't know if the suppository is the same. I didn;t think to ask her that...of course. :)
@Storm0075: I needed the Progesterone for a different problem, so mine started the minute I got a BFP and I was able to stop taking them a few weeks later.
@heathaah: Could you ask your doctor if you can switch to an oral dose? I'm on 200mg or Prometrium twice daily because I started spotting at 5wks. I'm not sure if there are advantages to the type of dose he prescribed you, but it wouldn't hurt to ask :-)

This is so gross, so I apologize in advance. So yesterday morning I had that freak out moment where I thought I was spotting, but now I am second guessing myself. It happened again this morning, but as I looked closer, it seemed to not be blood. I think it is the medicine turning brownish and coming out. Does this happen to anyone else??
