Progesterone

k&b

So anyone else on here using the progesterone suppositories?
I just went and picked my script up and it is the first time I am using them. 2 thing... 1: I have a $250 deductible on prescriptions which just re-started for the new year, and it was $234!! 2: The pharmacist acted like I was crazy. He said "This makes no sense, did your Dr. tell you to use these vaginally? I have never heard of that, that is weird... are you sure?!"
Anyone else have a reaction like that??
Thanks!

I will be using Endometrin suppositories 3/day. I was originally prescribed PIO but requested the suppositories. The nurse explained that its kind of a "new" approach and many clinics now use either or both for some cycles. She also said that studies have shown the suppositories were just as good as PIO and sometimes better because it gets absorbed where it needs to be, faster. It is quite expensive though.

I am perscribed Crinone 3% i think its called for after my IUI....this is my 4th IUI my old doc didnt give it but my new doc does...havent used it yet but i did pick it up from pharmacy...they pharmacy told me they cost over 1000 dollars for what i got (i think enough for atleast 2 IUIs) I only paid 30 because I had met my deductable last year (didnt meet it till dec tho!) that is they only fertility drug my insurance has covered actually so I was shocked they did....mine is done vaginally and the pharmacy didnt act surprised...idk how else you would use it? Dont worry tho I have seen other people talk about progestone so I think many docs use it!

I've used Endometrin suppositories twice a day for the last two cycles, and for the 8 weeks that I was pregnant since my progesterone levels were lower than the doctor wanted to see.

My pharmacist had zero comments.

Y dr said she has gotten so many calls from pharmacies that she has just come to expect the funny reaction.
