Progesterone Suppository Question

[Anonymous]

Hi all - I feel somewhat silly for asking this question but my doctor prescribed me progesterone suppositories to start taking when I got a bfp. I went ahead and filled the prescription so they've been sitting in my fridge for 2 months. I can't find the instructions and lo and behold, I got a VERY faint bfp this morning! So now I'm just staring at these things wondering how to use them. They're not the tablet/capsule kind, but white missile shaped things surrounded by a square plastic casing. Do I need to cut the missile part out? I feel stupid as I just don't get it and the pharmacy is closed today.

Happy mother's day for all you moms out there!

Make a cut along the side, get the "bullet" out as intact as possible and and with a narrow side forward insert it inside your vagina as far as possible.

Congrats on your BFP! Wishing you a smooth pregnancy.

Ugh the things are messy but try to put up with it until 12 wks, congrats on BFP.

Oh I use the same ones and it took me three weeks to realize that it's much easier to open them by parting the plastic on the end with the point and then peeling them apart - I could never get the cut out to work properly and I kept breaking the bullet in half accidentally

OP here. Thanks, all. The joys of trying to stay pregnant! I had two very recent m/c's so just cautiously optimistic at this point.

Well they do ensure your program level is good, hope you have a wonderful pregnancy.

Congrats!!
Yes, Peel the bullet out of the plastic.
Also, Put one in at night before bed, and the other (if u do it 2x a day) and then set your alarm for an hour early and dO the other one so it has time to melt. Then take your shower. Wishing you a healthy 9 months!
