I honestly believe different doctors just have different preferences. My RE prefers the vaginal suppositories for post ovulation, but pills to induce a cycle. My Reproductive Immunologist prefers the pills b/c she is concerned of bacteria being introduced to the cervical area when using the suppositories. However, the RI was fine with me doing the suppositories as instructed by RE, but stated if there is ever a pregnancy, she would want to switch to oral form after a couple of weeks. <br /><br />I say the friend needs to try whatever form of progesterone she can afford....https://www.blogger.com/profile/09490440266637782466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4265503242081752766.post-26433677785076256792010-09-30T16:29:57.692-04:002010-09-30T16:29:57.692-04:00Wish I could help - fortunately or unfortunately, ...Wish I could help - fortunately or unfortunately, I've not taken any of these.

I was a bit flummoxed when instructed to use the prometrium as a vaginal suppository since they look like pills that you would take orally, but I double checked with my RE and he assured me that vaginal suppository was the way to go. I don't know which of them was most effective. They were all kind of "messy."

Orally, they can not be absorbed as much. But, both RE's I've seen have prescribed Endometrin. My insurance covers it (copay of $50). Endometrin was made to use for ART and for pg. The suppositories "supposidly" are not as messy...I beg to differ. Honestly, I did not notice much difference between the two. I actually needed to add progesterone in oil to Endometrin to boost my prog. levels (but that was after a retrieval).
