Put ice over the fractured rib. Apply an ice pack, frozen gel pack or bag of peas from the freezer onto your rib injury for about 20 minutes every hour you are awake for the first two days, then reduce it to 10 â 20 minutes three times daily as needed to reduce pain and swelling.
1 Oral progesterone, such as Prometrium, is a natural form of the hormone used to help supplement the luteal phase during fertility treatments such as intrauterine insemination (IUI).  Progesterone suppositories, such as Endometrin and Cyclogest, are made of natural progesterone and are inserted into the vagina.
The question is, did the low progesterone levels cause a miscarriage or did the impending miscarriage cause the low progesterone levels? In trying to help prevent miscarriages, some doctors began prescribing progesterone supplements in pregnancy to prevent miscarriage. The most common form of progesterone treatment is vaginal suppositories. These are usually a once a day treatment. You simply wash your hands and unwrap the suppository.
