The reason is that the liver has to process the progesterone first and in that process it holds on to almost 90% of it. If you want to get all of that dose then you would need to use it vaginally.
Just thought I would pass that info along. Also the s/e are greatly reduced when used this way and this is also why the OB's and RE's dont have PG women or those TTC (normally) use them orally, but vaginally. You get more of the hormone and less of the s/e and it saves your liver in the long run!
