Can you use a tampon to keep a progesterone suppository from leaking?

Adrenaline is a hormone. Hormones are chemicals which travel via the blood stream to reach their targets. A hormone may have one or more than one targets. Since they are carried by the blood, the response (in this case the increased heart rate) is initiated when the blood carrying the hormone gets to the target cells, hence the delay.

Is there any connection between adrenaline and nervousness?
Adrenaline is a "fight or flight" hormone associated with the sympathetic nervous system in the human body. This means that if you need to do alot of physical exertion or think fast, the body diverts resources to the relevant areas. This is usually an automatic survival response when the brain reckons it's entering a situation of danger, so is preparing itself; e.g. pumps more blood around to oxygenate muscles, liberate more energy from stores, puts muscles on edge for quick use, etc. A situation of nervousness is interpreted by the body as danger, so the above system is activated, releasing adrenaline, giving the characteristic fast heart, twitchy muscles, and an inability to relax. In today's modern society, it's an evolutionary survival mechanism which was important in more dangerous times gone by, but can be useful sometimes, like when you do encounter a genuinely dangerous situation.
An adrenaline rush is a surge of strength and energy brought about by a dangerous situation, as if by adrenaline.
