π What to Expect: Medications
Starting your medication protocol can feel overwhelming β and that's completely normal! Here's a quick overview of what you may encounter:
Oral Medications β You have different oral medications to start at different times. Make sure you check on your calendar after taking them.
Inserts β They can be tablets, suppositories or gels. Liners can help, and a gentle rinse of the outside in the shower keeps things comfortable.
Injections β Typically progesterone or estrogen-based, given intramuscularly. Warm shower/compresses and massaging the area afterward can help with discomfort!
Patches β Worn on the lower abdomen or buttocks and changed every few days. Make sure skin is clean and dry before applying.
It's important that you take your medications on time to support the early pregnancy as your body doesn't pick up your pregnancy until you're 6-10 weeks pregnant.
As always, follow your protocol exactly as instructed and reach out to your case manager if you have any questions or concerns.
We've got you! π
