Vaginal Progesterone

[Guest guest]

Hello to all,

I plan to ask my doctor for a prescription for vaginal progesterone. Are there

different types/brands(?) of bio-identical vaginal prog. that any of you

recommend? I know someone mentioned Cyclogest. Are there others I should

consider? (My doctor is totally unfamiliar with anything bio-identical. The

only hormones she wants to prescribe are synthetic.) I would also appreciate

any further suggestions re. frequency of use and dosages. As well, has anyone

found application of the vaginal progesterone to be particularly 'messy'?

Many thanks,

Sadie

There are no commercial suppositories available in the U.S. You can get

them from a compounding pharmacist. I buy Cyclogest from Masters Marketing

in the UK. Crinone, a gel, is available in the U.S. I'd try about 25 mg

and see if it works. If no shed, then 50 - 75. You're going to have to get

to know how your body responds. What estrogen are you using? Are you

post-meno? Vaginal P was never messy for me but I've heard some say that

unless Prometrium is cut open, it can sometimes come out whole the next day.

Hi Val,

Thanks so much for your helpful reply.

I am post-menopausal and use the " estradot " patch twice per week.

Val, do you need a prescription to purchase Cyclogest from Masters Marketing . .

.. & do they ship it over from England? (I live in Canada.) Is the Crinone gel

applied to the skin . . . similar to estrogel . . . or inseted vaginally? Also,

it sounds from your message that it's possible to insert prometrium vaginally .

.. . wow! I didn't know this was an option :-) . . . though I would think it

somewhat difficult to cut those round pills in half . . . or even quarters if I

wanted to keep the dosage low.
