I'm taking 200 mg at night. Anyone else taking these and what is your dosage? I've heard that the injections are better but my doctor sticks with the oral pills. Thanks ladies!!!

My progesterone was also low. They have me taking 2-200mg prometrium capsules (one orally, one vaginally) twice a day (so 800 mg/day). I wouldn't mind just taking them orally. Taking them vaginally SUCKS. I'm gonna call my dr and see if I can just take them all orally, but I've heard that you absorb more if you take them vaginally? idk. I'll have to ask my dr. I've heard that the PIO injections are uncomfortable for a lot of people because the oil is so thick.
