Hi R.,
I used them when I was pregnant with both of my children. I had miscarriages and was unable to conceive for 10yrs. I had a nutritionist and then later a Gynecologist that it was a lack of Progesterone. They think that I actually had several miscarriages over the years but only two that were documented. When I miscarried the first time I ordered an autopsy and it was determined that it was because of a lack of progesterone to the baby. I was told that progesterone was vital for the baby's growth.
So all that to say their was no question for me on whether I was going to have it. I have two beautiful children and thankful that there was something to help me sustain those pregnancies.
I do remember them making me a little tired and pretty messy. I always had to use a pantiliner. I also used my finger because it was a lot easier and less uncomfortable. But with my daughter I remember I did not know I could use my finger. With my son I became wiser, more confident, and asked more questions. Like finding out exactly how far it had to go in etc....
However, I had another miscarriage between my daughter and son and do remember them having to change the strength or grade of the suppositories because I was extremely nauseated but everything about that pregnancy was different and eventually I lost the baby. I was never sick like that where I could not function with my two successful pregnancies.
You may have to look into that if you need to. But it is extremely worth it. I seem to remember I used them for a long time! I want to say until my 4th or 5th month? Oh, I also remember just using them at night with my son.
If you would like to talk more send me an e-mail I would love to help/encourage in any way possible. I had awesome deliveries especially with my daughter. It was painless! Truly Blessed and Super Natural! I could recommend a book if your interested.
Blessings on your pregnancy and delivery!
