Too much progesterone? Cyclogest & Lubion

Trying6years profile image
11 Replies

Hey I went to pick up some meds prior to FET today and have been prescribed cyclogest 400mg 3x daily - the chemist took me to the side and said the limit is 2x daily?! I will be having 25mg lubion injections once daily too so this seems a lot! To my knowledge my levels have been ok.

I don't like questioning my consultant as he has been great but it may be an error, just thought I would see if others have taken this much?

Yes I was on 3 x cyclogest and 1 x lubion. My levels were checked at transfer day and were 69.2. That was being on that for 5 days. My levels were not checked after that. I didn’t have really any side effects other than bloating. X

I was also on 1200mg a day and 1 injection, even if if it is too much won't hurt you. Last cycle they reduced my progesterone to 1200mg a day without the injection. Don't get scared, it is fine, you know doctors can have different opinions about the same thing. Good luck with you transfer 🤗♥️

I think pharmacies don't necessarily know what you are using it for so definitely listen to your consultant :) xx

I am on x2 400mg in the morning and x2 at night so 1600mg in total plus a lubion injection. So it is totally a normal amount xx
