[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do not think you should read anything into your nurse not sounding “encouraging.” This is a stressful process for all patients. Your nurse probably wanted to sound as neutral as possible. FYI, two pills vaginally per day is not that much (i.e. it looks like minimal supplementation in addition to what your body produces). I had to take twice that PLUS intramuscular injections of PIO every other day.

Good luck![/quote]

Thanks. Was your intramuscular progesterone for a fresh cycle? I know my clinic has you do those for frozen.

I can be pretty spacey about schedules so was proud that I hadn’t messed up my IVF protocol yet, so I think this just shook me up. Really hoping for the best. This is my first cycle.

It was for a frozen embryo transfer. The protocol would have been pretty much the same for a fresh cycle because I had a fresh transfer tentatively planned following retrieval/fertilization depending on how many embryos would make it to blast (doctor suggested not to bother with PGS if say, only one or two made it to blast) and the protocol for such a fresh transfer would have been four pills a day and intramuscular injection every third day if I recall correctly. I ended up having just enough blasts for PGS to be worth it, so did frozen transfers. Upon doing the FET, my blood test suggested that I need more progesterone so they increased the frequency of the injections.
