Do most ladies use progesterone pessaries?

[Bengal]

I had Crinone once a day for my first two IVF Cycles, third full stim cycle, we used pess x 2 - no joy

This cycle we will try Crinone twice daily each day - my suggestion might I add, as the chemist told me 2 crinone are stronger than the pessaries .

A tip, I hope anyone doesn't need, I kept my left over new packets of crinone from each cycle, and picked it up (as it's free) on my Prog Pess cycle, even though I wasnt using it. So now I have enough to use the two a day, as it is quite expensive to buy if I am lucky enough to need it to 12 weeks .

Hi theresep

Yes with all three cycles I have used progesterone pessaries 200mg 1xam 1xpm after egg collection or the very next day approx 2 weeks ,just wear a panty liner because of the leakage its best to lye down after insertion in the morning 20 min to 30 mins if your working etc and at night insert pessaries at bedtime.

Good Luck

Hi Theresp,
I didn't use pessaries for my first IVF cycle and we were lucky enough to fall the first time. I'm taking the ethinyl capsules and will start pessaries tomorrow and they will continue until the BT then for 10 wks afterwards if I'm that lucky. Transfer is hopefully on the 8th we only have one ice baby so fingers crossed. Best of luck.

hi ladies,

i have been out of the loop since march. i haven't even been lurking!
took my mind totally off the conception subject, went ot Fiji and worked heaps!

so i thought i would have a look at the sight as my mum is wanting me to keep trying. my husband almost lost his job back in may (is safe now!) so we couldn't afford to keep going. we have 2 frozies and as i am 36 will use them both in my next try. mum has generously offered to pay for the FET, but i am so reluctant as this will be my last chance. i am not willing to go back to IVF and have had 2 laps, 6 iui's and 1 FET.

i am lucky enough to have a beautiful 4.5yr DD.

i have always struggled with the choices my FS has and does take especially with the medication side of things. i have done a stim IVF with pessaries and had a +ve but it was unviable. then i did a natural FET with no drugs and got AF on day 24. i usually have a short cycle and this is what worried me. 24 is my average, however i can go 26 but never longer. he dosent seem to think this is a problem.

so i am hoping he will listen and give me a stim FET to give me all the chances i can get. the problem with Cairns is all the blood tests get sent to brisbane. the cant do a prog test and have the result quick enough.

i also have an ovulation problem and need to be on clomid, serophene or the new one i have tryed is called letrozole. i feel that if i dont ovualte i won thave enough progesterone in my system. he has also told me that progeterone is in the pill and too much can have a negetive effect white trying to concieve.

well, thanks for letting me rave!!!!
i am struggling with the thought of going back to the drugs, appointments, accupuncture and the nervous wait......what other choice do we have.

good luck girls.... see you all in the 2WW soon.
