Progesterone 8% Gel
Are you undergoing IVF or IUI or facing hormonal imbalance during your fertility journey? If your doctor has prescribed vaginal progesterone support, you may be recommended FSPROGEST GEL, a Progesterone 8% Gel formulated to help sustain early pregnancy and balance reproductive hormones.
Manufactured by fertilesurepharma, FSPROGEST GEL is designed to deliver natural, bioidentical progesterone directly to the uterus, ensuring maximum absorption and effective support during the luteal phase and early pregnancy.
Let’s explore what FSPROGEST GEL is, how it works, what it’s used for, how to use it correctly, and why it’s trusted by fertility specialists across India.
What Is Progesterone 8% Gel?
FSPROGEST GEL contains Progesterone 8% Gel, specially formulated for vaginal administration. This gel mimics your body’s naturally produced progesterone and is delivered directly to the uterus, where it is needed most.
The vaginal route offers a key advantage: it allows targeted absorption through the uterine first-pass effect, providing higher local concentrations of progesterone with fewer systemic side effects.
This makes FSPROGEST GEL especially effective in fertility treatments, luteal phase support, and early pregnancy maintenance.
What Is Progesterone 8% Gel Used For?
Doctors commonly prescribe FSPROGEST GEL in the following situations:
1. Luteal Phase Support in IVF/IUI
In assisted reproductive treatments like IVF or IUI, your body may not produce enough progesterone after ovulation. FSPROGEST GEL supports the endometrial lining and enhances embryo implantation.
2. Support in Early Pregnancy
In women at risk of miscarriage or with low progesterone levels, this gel helps sustain pregnancy during the first trimester, especially until the placenta starts producing progesterone.
3. Hormonal Imbalance or Irregular Periods
FSPROGEST GEL may also be used to restore hormonal balance, especially in women with luteal phase deficiency or irregular cycles due to insufficient progesterone.
4. Secondary Amenorrhea
For women not getting periods due to hormonal issues, FSPROGEST GEL helps regulate the menstrual cycle and prepare the uterus for future conception.
How Does Progesterone 8% Gel Work?
Progesterone is a hormone your body naturally produces in the second half of your menstrual cycle. It plays a key role in:
- Thickening the uterine lining for implantation
- Supporting embryo survival
- Preventing early uterine contractions
- Regulating estrogen levels
- Maintaining pregnancy until the placenta takes over
FSPROGEST GEL delivers natural micronised progesterone right to the uterus through vaginal application. It provides high local progesterone levels needed for implantation and pregnancy support, especially in IVF and high-risk cases.
How to Use Progesterone 8% Gel
Your doctor will guide the exact dosage and frequency based on your condition. Generally:
- 1 applicatorful (about 1.125 g of gel containing 90 mg progesterone) is inserted once or twice daily
- Administer the gel deep into the vagina using the provided applicator
- Ideally used at bedtime to allow maximum absorption
- Continue use until your doctor advises, often through week 10–12 of pregnancy
Instructions:
- Wash your hands before and after application
- Lie down and gently insert the applicator
- Do not rinse the applicator (if reusable) unless directed
- Avoid vaginal intercourse or using tampons for a few hours after application
When Will You See Results?
Results vary based on your treatment goal:
- For luteal phase support in IVF/IUI, FSPROGEST GEL is started on the day of ovulation or embryo transfer and continued until pregnancy is confirmed
- In pregnancy support, it is usually continued through the first trimester
- For menstrual regulation, it may take 1–3 cycles to show effects
Consistency is key. Do not miss doses or stop without your doctor’s advice.
Possible Side Effects
Progesterone 8% Gel is generally well-tolerated, but you may experience:
- Vaginal irritation or discharge
- Breast tenderness
- Bloating or mild abdominal cramps
- Headache or dizziness
- Mood changes or drowsiness
These effects are usually mild and temporary. Using the gel at bedtime can help minimize discomfort.
Contact your doctor if you experience:
- Heavy bleeding
- Severe pelvic pain
- Allergic reactions (itching, swelling)
- Signs of blood clots (chest pain, leg swelling, breathlessness)
Precautions and Warnings
Before using Progesterone 8% Gel, let your doctor know if you have:
- Liver disease
- Vaginal infections
- Unexplained vaginal bleeding
- History of blood clots, stroke, or hormone-sensitive cancer
- Known allergy to progesterone
Avoid self-medicating. Always follow your doctor’s advice during fertility treatments or pregnancy.
Is It Safe in Pregnancy and Breastfeeding?
Yes, Progesterone 8% Gel is commonly used in early pregnancy to support implantation and reduce miscarriage risk, especially in IVF or high-risk pregnancies.
However, it is not typically used during breastfeeding, unless clearly advised by your doctor, as small amounts may pass into breast milk.
