Progesterone before frozen embryo transfer

[Sunseeker99]

Hi everyone,

Im just wondering if anyone who has been prescribed lubion injections and cyclogest pessaries undergoing a frozen embryo transfer, when did you start taking the medication after positive ovulation and how much were you prescribed.

Thanks in advance. X

I was told by clinic when to start taking mine which was 6 days before transfer (I think first day counts as day zero).

I had one injection a day which I think was 25ml and 3 pesseries which I think were 200mg which I may be wrong about.

Best of luck!

hey we stayed 5 days before transfer 2 pessaries 200mg (one I the morning and one at night) and one lubion injection (at whatever time I chose but same time each day) xx

The first time I attempted a natural fet with 2x lubion a day I was told to start it 2 days after lh surge. So lh surge on a Saturday progesterone on Monday. Transfer scheduled for Friday (The embryo didn't survive so no transfer). The next attempt I was told to start it the next day after lh surge. And transfer was scheduled for 5 days later. In my third natural FET attempt I was told to start it on the day of the transfer, which was scheduled 5 days after lh surge. It was the same clinic all these attempts.

I think I took mine for a week or so before… 2 cyclogest and 2 Lubion a day.

For me I think Lubion made the difference!

Good luck xx

I’m currently on progesterone. Started taking it on Wednesday and transfer is scheduled for coming Monday on the 6th day. I take Lubion twice a day and crinone gel vaginally twice a day.

I am having my first FET on 31st and have been told to start Lubion 26th Jan.

I am only one Lubion and nothing has been mentioned about cyclogest. Is there any reason why you have been advised to take both? I know everyone is differnt but I took just Lubion last time and now I’m thinking should I have pessaries too!

Hi,

The last 2 transfers I've had spotting so that's most likely why it's been increased. I know technically with a natural transfer you make your own progesterone so don't necessarily need the extra progesterone support but I've had a complicated history so please don't be worrying.

I have a history of preterm labour at 21 weeks so I will be on progesterone support in pregnancy if we are successful. Best of luck with your transfer 🤞✨

Hi Sunseeker99,

My 2nd fet they ask me to have progesteron 3rd day before my 2nd frozen egg transfer.
