In the past we described a “small drop” as a drop weighing 30-40 mg, which looks approximately the size of a BB. This size drop contains approximately 3.5 mgs of progesterone. Each 34 mL size bottle contains approximately 970 drops weighing 30-40 mgs.
Talking to users of Progest-E, we’ve learned that a 60 mg drop is the most common minimum amount used. A 60 mg drop of Progest-E looks approximately the size of an unpopped kernel of popcorn which can be used as a reference for people who don’t have a scale which weighs in milligrams. Each 60 mg drop contains 6 mg of progesterone. There are approximately 560 drops weighing 60 mg in each 34 mL bottle.
