Is it normal for Susten 400 vaginal inserts to leak, will this leakage prevent my body from absorbing enough progesterone, and can I switch to taking this medication orally to avoid the leaking?
It is completely normal to experience some leakage after using Susten 400 (progesterone) vaginal inserts. This discharge is usually just the melted outer capsule shell, and your body rapidly absorbs the active progesterone it needs, so the leakage won't reduce its effectiveness. While progesterone can often be taken orally, switching routes can change how your body processes the medication and may increase side effects like dizziness or drowsiness. I strongly recommend speaking with your doctor before making any changes to ensure your treatment remains safe and effective for you.
