If I had a choice

If my doctor told me to eat nothing but spinach and stand on my head for the next 30 weeks to make sure this pregnancy ends well I'd do it. So this post falls under the "not complaining, just sayin'" category.

If I was allowed to choose between a PIO injection once a night and the twice daily Prometrium suppositories that I'm on now, I'd definitely choose the injection. I'll do it as prescribed, but it's just all around icky.

yes, icky is a good word to describe prometrium. I found laying down after them helped get rid of some of the ick factor. How much longer will you be on them?

Icky is exactly right. Just dang gross. I never found any solution to the ick factor, I just felt like a nasty slug all. the. time.

How much longer do you need to keep using them? Would they let you switch to injections?

one word: pantiliners. They are icky but a nice absorbent variety will reduce the worst of it.

I just started the PIO wishing for the suppositories! Either way it's not fun - but when you look at that 1 1/2 inch needle, a little stickiness doesn't seem so bad...

Icky, true, but my fear of needles would always make me choose the gooey yellow pantiliner :-)

Happy birthday!!!
