FET and progesterone

Any advise please 🙏🏻

I’ve been told not to use progesterone pessary on day of transfer and will be five pio on the day but did use it on the day for ERA. Will it make a difference?

Thank you all xx

Did they mean not to use vaginally (vs rectally)? No idea otherwise, but you can always call back the clinic to make sure!

Yes they advised not to use vaginally! I’ve never used rectally - does it have the same effect?

Yes - they usually tell you to switch for the day. Rectally works fine too, it’s your preference. I used rectally most of the time but it’s up to you.

For me they just asked me do it after the transfer. So waited 30 mins and did it vaginally. Check if that’s ok.

Hi Bump. You may need to use it rectally for a couple of days. You absorb what you need just the same as vaginally, and you won't make a mess anywhere, so no need to worry about that. Check with the clinic to make sure. Diane
