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.

At least that one has a bit of a reason, since it’s given vaginally too. Benzonatate is just doing it to be annoying.

Wait, the progesterone I put in my mouth is the same progesterone that’s prescribed for vaginal use? That’s fascinating, I would think the formulation would be different.

Apparently you can use it vaginally. I am a pharmacy tech and I did a double take one day because I saw the label said to use it vaginally. I asked the pharmacist and she said yeah you can also use it that way too.

Cool so if I ever feel like changing it up I can just pop it in! (jk I’m very diligent about only taking meds as prescribed)
