Default Progesterone question

Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me with an answer. I had an IUI on Thursday, and started prometrium today. I have never taken medicine vaginally, though, and am a little intimidated by it.
How far in do I put it? How do I know I got in it far enough? I'm so worried I'm not doing it right and it won't do it's job.
Thanks
Laura

Dunno if you got the answer to this question or not....but I have done it vag...the RE told me to get it in as far as you can the closer to the cervix the better...because some does "leak" out....Sorry I just saw your post.....

BTW...I noticed that your pic is in Santorini......Are you or your dh Greek..or was it a vacation??? My dh is Greek and his Brother got married there.....Just curious!!!!

Hi Nicole,
Thanks for the answer. I think I'm doing it right, as I get some leakage, but not much. And no, neither of us are Greek. We just knew we didn't want a wedding, so we combined a small ceremony with our trip to Greece. I loved it! and wouldn't have done it any other way. Have you and your husband been there, or think about going there in the future?
Laura

Us too. We would love to do some more international traveling, but want Ava and the next one to be older. So, we have a few years to wait. In the meantime, we enjoy the traveling we can do in the states.
And, I work in a nursing home, so I see Parkinsons everyday, and know how hard it is. I'm sorry your FIL, and MIL are going through that.

Hi,

Lurking for cycle buddies and found you here. I am on the prometrium. I do it right before bed at night, and never have any leakage, b/c I won't get out of bed until morning. In the morning though, I try to get it as far up as possible, but always seem to have some leakage. GL!!! Hope this iui is it for you!

I see my ds and your lovely daughter are close in age. I love this age, and would to have a little one for him. Did you do iui for your daughter? That is our next step if this natural cycle didn't work.

Take care!

Nicole,
I'm having the same experience. The night time dose is fine, but a little leakage with the morning and afternoon ones. This is a fun age, isn't it! It's the way they communicate, I think. We didn't do IUI with Ava, but it did take us a year to get pregnant. I'm so hoping, for both of us, that the progesterone works!
