Luckystrike - I too am with MIVF and have used the crinone cream - belive me it gets alot worse before it gets better - sorry, but it does. I think that following most kinds of medicated cycles, progesteron support is required post transfer, but I'm not sure what the other options are. When doing a FET, I have used differet progesterone pessieries that were wax like cones (little) that were much nicer to use - however they only seem to use them for FET rather than fresh transfers - not sure why but they just do.

Good luck
FG
