My wife is about 8 weeks into her pregnancy, and her gynecologist has prescribed Strone 200 for vaginal use. The thing is, shes having a tough time inserting the soft gel vaginally. We're wondering if she could take it orally instead? Or maybe there's another progesterone tablet out there that's suitable for oral intake?

Strone 200, a natural micronized progesterone, is typically administered vaginally, but if your wife experiences difficulties, consult her gynecologist about alternative options, such as oral progesterone supplements like Duphaston (dydrogesterone) or Naturogest (micronized progesterone), but do not switch or take any medication without consulting
