    2x day is pretty normal so 3 sounds reasonable for a FET. After transfer I had poor progesterone absorption so was on 2x crinone per day plus 2x pessaries 3 times a day anally. I also felt a bit crap but it was enough to sustain my early pg with DD
    Best of luck with your cycle.

    I've generally used 3x 200mg for my IVF cycles (with hcg booster shots). However, I know my new FS prescribes 400mg pessaries and I think he was saying I'd be on 1200mg or 1600mg per day if we did an IVF with him. I haven't done a HRT FET, so I can't speak from experience on that front.

    Yes, the dose is high, but your FS isn't the only one prescribing those doses. Maybe he thinks your lining needs a bit of a boost after the protracted first stage of your cycle?

    You could always call your Dr's office to ask about it if it's getting in the way of your daily life.

    I did 3x 400 for my last stim cycle. Didnt have any effects though (that I noticed). Then again I was on so many drugs, the progesterone was the least of my worries

    If anything though, progesterone makes you fatigued.

    I agree with Juniper. If you are worried, speak to your FS.
