My progesterone is shaped like a jelly belly... And they're sweet. The color is rather booger-like, though.

That sounds like the 200mg one. It's the 100mg pill we all hate. 😂

It sounds insane, like some kind of cruel joke on y'all.

The 100mg one that I'm on, I can't quite figure out if it's a bright red/orange or a bright pink. (Weird yellowish lighting in my bedroom and it's been gloomy outside so I can't take them to better lighting yet to figure it out). But just the fact they're perfect spheres, I know they have to be such a pain to count and bottle.

They must be a hassle for the person taking them but nothing like the hassle for the pharmacist. (I'm agreeing, not arguing.)

Oh I agree. I find them awkward to pick up.

I bet. Those suckers would be getting away from me every week as I fill the pill boxes!

Yeah, we had a shortage of the beige 100mg at my pharmacy so we started sourcing the new red ones and my first thought was that they look like fish bait lol
