What is the most important information I should know about Crinone (progesterone vaginal)?

Do not use progesterone vaginal without your doctor's consent if you are pregnant, unless you are using the medication as part of your fertility treatment. Tell your doctor if you become pregnant during treatment.

If you are not being treated for infertility, use an effective form of birth control while you are using this medication. Some forms of this medication may contain plant-based oils.

Do not use progesterone vaginal without telling your doctor if you have any type of food allergy. Using progesterone vaginal can increase your risk of blood clots, stroke, heart attack, or breast cancer. You should not use this medication if you have: a history of stroke or blood clot, circulation problems, severe liver disease, a hormone-related cancer such as breast or uterine cancer, abnormal vaginal bleeding, or if you have recently had a tubal pregnancy or an incomplete abortion.

Progesterone vaginal is sometimes given for only 6 to 12 days at a time. When used as part of fertility treatment, progesterone vaginal may be given for up to 12 weeks into a pregnancy. Following your dosing schedule is very important for this medication to be effective. Try not to miss any doses.

Progesterone vaginal can cause side effects that may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be awake and alert.

The risks of all these drugs is quite high, that is the price we pay. But taking one aspirin a day can help alleviate blood clots.......

i curently take 1 x 75 mg aspirin a day to guard against clotting.
