Lubion injections 😳

[Justus1]

Hi. I hope you are all well. Has anyone been/on lubion injections? My hospital suggested it this time as I always bleed to early. It's only day 2 and I'm really struggle. Any advice or success stories? X

I'm taking these aswell and my stomach is awful. I test Monday and don't think I am pregnant. I haven't bleed this time though, on my first attempt I did. I don't feel pregnant and a few naughty tests show its hasn't happened for me (although I'll keep taking them until monday). What I'm struggling with is I won't have a period even if I am not pregnant and I'm due tomorrow. The progynova and injections stop period. Heartbreaking. Hang in there. I'm wishing you all the luck in the world xxx

Thanks for this. It's nice to hear it's not just me. Ya I feel like I'm going mad cz I was expecting to feel bad, but not this the bad. But there is a chance you could still be pregnant right?

There is but I'm not holding out much hope. I'd prefer to bleed so that I would know. Last time I bleed a week in so I knew it was over. Xxx

I know what you mean. You just want to know if it's a negative u just want a bleed. Keep me posted

Hi Justus1.

I must say, that I haven’t heard of many women using the subcutaneous version of progesterone (Lubion). I do know that it is sometimes be prescribed if there are any issues with the vaginal versions (pessaries & gel), and sometimes for religious preferences. I have heard that it can cause soreness at the injection site, and sore breasts. Also, success results using progesterone appear to be about the same whether injected or vaginally administered, according to a few studies I have read. As far as I know the usual dose of this progesterone supplement is 25 mg once daily from the day of egg retrieval up to week 12 of pregnancy. Obviously, I do wish you well with the outcome. Diane
