Progesterone question (as usual, TMI!)
I guess I'm just wondering... how do progesterone supps really work?
I feel like they are always leaking out! How can they do their job when they are constantly coming out?
Sorry for the TMI - but just genuinely curious!

Re: Progesterone question (as usual, TMI!)
Are you using the ones with the applicator? I find the ones with the applicator tend to go "up" further.....so a little less leaking- know what I mean?
Even if it is leaking a little I'm sure its still doing the job. But if it would make you feel better I would give the doctor's office a call and see what they say. Good luck

Thanks...
Yeah I'm using the Endometrin this time which have the applicator. They aren't leaking as much... and I honestly have no reason to believe they aren't working - I guess I just don't really 'get it' KWIM?

Oh I hear you totally LOL There's a whole lot I dont get with all this IF stuff.
As far as excatly how they work - I'm pretty sure the the tablets are absorbed into your bloodstream as it "melts".

Re: Progesterone question (as usual, TMI!)
Dont' know how many times a day you are doing it, last month I had to have it 2x a day, once in the am and once in the pm...the pm one was ok, I did it right before bed so I was laying down the whole time it was dissolving.
The day one wasn't as good..some leaking.

I do!
I wasn't trying to complain about the leakage... just wondering how they do their job when it seems like they are completely coming out... KWIM?

Re: Progesterone question (as usual, TMI!)
I was on 4x per day, also. There was major leakage.
They just absorb into the blood stream.
