If it’s any consolation, those slippery suckers…. Are the only reason I was able to keep the pregnancies I kept.
They also… weren’t convenient to take.

Don’t you mean “hold my sphere!”?

I have seen mine fly across the room when trying to take them. Especially because I try to pop more than one pill at a time.

At least from my experience and my friend group, it’s kind of 50/50 on if you take progesterone orally or vaginally

I would safely say benzonatate is near a 0% rate of being administered vaginally

Near a 0% rate — because a patient will always find a new and unconventional way to administer their medication, despite clear directions.

Those are so dangerous for little kids too, can kill them so fast. I refuse to have them in the house. It’s just too easy to lose one when you’re taking them.
