Im prescribed utrogestan due to previous 2 miscarriages and now in my 3rd oregnancy to stabilize the baby. Have bad experience with this utrogestan as it hits me like a truck 1h after consuming it post dinner. Anyone experience this and how do you counter it?
I was given 200mg Utrogestan to consume orally too (2 pills in the morning and 2 pills at night). The first 2 days after eating, I was bascially sleep walking, so I rested near my bed each time, had to take off from work to manage it. On the 3rd night, it wasnt so bad, and the side effects of drowsiness kicked in much later which is manageable. Perhaps its a way that our body are telling us they need the rest, so it will get better in time :)

My gynae advised to insert it into vagina instead of taking it orally to reduce the side effects - namely the drowsiness. Not sure about your dose frequency, but mine is once a day only so I insert it every night before bed and actually helped with sleep lol

Yes but I was told that orally makes the drowsiness worse since it’s metabolised into the bloodstream first while vaginally has more direct uterine effect.
