    Progesterone pessaries have localised effect so a lot of the time they don't show up in blood prog levels. In saying that though, going by your history a different route of administration might be better. Is it possible for you to get the prog tablets? My friend in Canada got put on those. Not sure if you can get them in Aus but it's worth asking. Good luck with everything xx

    Thanks Miss B, AndiE and Mad Scientist for your well wishes
    I'm feeling a bit calmer now, have increased my pessaries and the spotting has stopped!
    I remember reading about the localised effect of prog pessaries Mad Scientist, thanks for reminding me. I really hope that's the case!
    Thanks again guys.

    I was on 800mg a day.. you can get 400mg pessaries so you can ask for those to save taking as many. Wishing you well xxx
