Progesterone levels- pessaries vs injections ?

I had my transfer today!!! Number 8. First time on progesterone injections.

My progesterone was 125 on Saturday. It’s dropped to 93 today. They have asked me to start taking 4*pessaries or an extra injection. Already take 1 progesterone injection. I went with the pessaries, as I had some left from the last round, but worrying it won’t be enough. Should I have gone with the additional injection? Back on Friday for another blood test, but is it to late?

If they gave you the choice then I would imagine it's enough. I will be taking 2 pesssries and 1 injection or day as per my consultants advice but I suppose it all goes on the numbers. I hope you get what you need xx

I'd take all injection n that's what I did even tho my progesterone level kept increasing n in the right range for the trimester my pregnancy is in.

If you don't know the dosage then ask your RE.

For me for example 600mg pessaries = 1ml injection and I was told to take 1Kmg pessaries so I take instead of pessaries 1.67ml injection spread to morning n eve.

Cos pessaries' part will go out even if you use applicator if you take it vaginally whereas with injection it's very very minimal the part that goes out if you immediately take out the needle
