Progesterone Discharge ?

I know I'm the queen of questions...Anyway...


For those of you on progesterone suppositories do you discharge the old stuff that your body doesn't absorb. I'm on prochieve gel. It's inserted by a syringe not a capsule. Anyway, it seems like the old gel comes out every so often. Sometimes it's clear (I can definitely tell it's the old gel and not something else) and sometimes it comes out almost orange. I'm assuming the orange color is from it being old? Sometimes I have to double take to make sure it's not red or pink but it's definitely and orange color.


Does this happen to anyone else? It's not orange all the time sometimes I'll have a day where nothing comes out and the next day I'll see white gel and the next day it's orange.


So far so good though! No bleeding. Yay!


One more questions, if I do start to miscarry will I bleed while on progesterone? My biggest fear is going to the doc and hearing that I'm not pregnant anymore but I didn't know because I wasn't bleeding. Make any sense?

Yusra,


I'm on progesterone - the capsule- and yes I get a discharge. I was concerned but understand that it is normal. I just wear a panty liner at all times. I can tell you that my prog. levels in my bloodwork have been good. They've told me to keep doing what I'm doing...so the discharge doesn't seem to be hurting me. HTH


Also, the not bleeding factor is one of my HUGE fears too. I'm right there with ya girl.

Hi Yusra,
I just wanted to say I understand your fears... and I'm so glad that your pg so far has been uneventful!!

I also wanted to tell you that when I m/c last year, I was on progesterone (orally) and I still had bleeding on and off for almost a month. I knew it was happening... I think it prevented the complete m/c though and I had to have a d&c eventually. I kept taking the progest. since my hcg levels kept rising despite the bleeding and lack of proper growth, JIC. I finally quit the medicine when my hcg level finally decreased.

Anyway, I know this is not the case with you and all is going to be wonderful and healthy!!!
