Hi, I was given estrogen patches to start tomorrow for HRT and was advised to start oral progesterone pills in October. I have a hard time taking big pills, wondering if I can still take those progesterone pills vaginally? It’s the micronized progesterone that I was given. I’ve done it a few times for IUI but not sure if it’s ok to do while on HRT. I’ve sent a message to my dr but she’s out of town until mid October. I’m the type of person who has a hard time swallowing pills in general, let alone a medium sized pill. Would vaginally be ok too?!

ah you’re right. I read it wrong. It is micronized not medroxyprogesterone! Thank you for correcting me
am I still able to do it vaginally if I can’t do it orally? Lol I wonder if it’ll give same effects?
I just asked. I sent a message even though I know my dr wasn’t gonna be in for a few weeks but she responded & said it’s ok! She said normally it’s oral but she will allow me to do vaginally if I prefer 😅
