Is anyone on Crinone?

[mhv]

I was just wondering if anyone is on Crinone as their progesterone suppliment with IVF for IUI or FET??

[Heather5]

Let us know when you find out.

Still waiting to hear what progesterone I will be on, but I have a feeling it will be PIO!  Ugh!! : )

[mhv]

Thank you!  I am excited!  It's funny how things work out.  The people on this site have turned out to be totally amazing! : )

[Heather5]

Wow...that's so exciting!!! I'll keep my fingers crossed, too!

:-)

Well, we are doning donor embryos... (pls see my journal "our next step for details (o: )  and hopefully it will happen in April.  Fingers and toes crossed!

[Heather5]

Oh....I see. Yeah, I got to admit, PIOs do seem a bit intimidating. I've never used them myself, but lots of women on here have, so I'm sure you'd get used to them. When will you get your protocol?

[mhv]

I was just trying to get ideas.  I'm afraid I'm gonna have to do the PIO's, but, I dunno.

[Heather5]

Oh yeah, that's right. I forgot about that. Are you worried about it not being enough? You could always ask for oral prometrium in addition. That's what I was on. Crinone once a day and a low dose prometrium twice a day (if I remember correctly).

[mhv]

Hmm... I don't know what I'll be using this time yet.  I used it one other time, and Heather gave me the heads up on it (the removal of build up).

not sure but I imagine I will be as I have the previous cycles, still on the stims, not going so great so not sure when it will all happen .. keep us posted

HI- I used it for an IUI cycle. It really wasn't too bad. I just laid down for about 5 mins after and wore a pantie liner.

[mhv]

No, not yet.... Are you using it this cycle??

[tones99]

hey melissa .. I have taken crinone with both my fresh IVF rounds .. with my frozen cycle I had to use the pessaries .. I found the crinone easier and not as mucky .. have you started on it already?
