Progesterone concern!

[Woody2019]

Hello lovely ladies.

I had my FET on Thursday.

I’m on 3x cyclogest. This morning I went to the toilet 40 mins after taking one and in a panic I took an extra one! I had early bleeding after fresh transfer so just worried.

Was I really stupid taking extra? Will it do any harm! I’m very anxious this cycle!

Any advice appreciated, hope everyone is doing ok, and managing to stay sane on this crazy journey. ♥️

I'm no expert but I think more is better than not enough. I think this is something you can remove from the worry list 🙂 x

Thank you my lovely. I know I need to relax but it’s so hard xxx

[Woody2019 in reply to Oakwood22]

Good luck my lovely xx

Hey, I think you should be fine. I know how nerve wracking this period is. We had a transfer on Thursday too. Can’t help worrying or googling! Hope the 2ww goes quickly for you 🤞 🍀

[Woody2019 in reply to Kiri23]

It’s ten hardest part of this crazy journey, staying hopeful but so anxious at the same time.

Good luck to you my lovely xx

It’s such an emotional time, easy done! This happened me. At the time I rang the clinics out of hours doctor and they told me not to worry about it. I then made a list and ticked it off each time I done my medication, it really helped.

Hope this is helpful and best wishes on your journey 😘

[Woody2019]

That’s actually a fab idea.

Thank you and good luck to you also my lovely xx

After 40mins, whatever was going to be absorbed would be well on its way so you needn't have worried in the first place. Though I completely understand. I rang the nurse just because I stood up too soon I thought!!! [Which, if you need to, rectally is the best option] And 2 are fine. I injected progesterone as well as taking the pessaries so I personally dont think you can have enough of it (reasonably of course 😅). Best of luck xx

Also, I used My therapy pill reminder app throughout IVF and subsequently pregnancy (I was on blood thinners as well as progesterone). Excellent and free little app.

Thank you for the reply my lovely… I think I’m just anxious as I felt quite positive last round and it failed! Definitely need to relax xx

My clinic told me if I had any bleeding I could take an extra lubion injection and that your body will only absorbe the progesterone it needs so there is no harm in taking too much. I was a little parnoid about bleeding so took double what I was meant until my viability scan. Did no harm other than the lumps and bruising on my stomach. So don't worry about taking too much x

Thank you hunni, that’s so reassuring!

I bled at 6dp5dt so I’m just anxious it’ll happen again! Xx

[StarsAllAround in reply to Woody2019]

If you are worried speak to your clinic they might give you extra progesterone x

[Woody2019 in reply to StarsAllAround]

They upped it from 2-3 pessaries!

That’s all they’ll try this cycle xx

hey .. I was also in cyclogest.. I had continuous bleeding on and off 5dpt and was constantly worried. I would take an extra pessary and it would stop.. I’m now 33 weeks pregnant so it did no harm if anything I felt like it helped my frosty stick

[Woody2019 in reply to Jenlily89]

Ah wow.. That’s amazing. Congratulations hunni xx
