FET drugs timing...

[LozR]

Hi, I've got my FET booked for 19th May, started 2 × Cyclogest pessaries per day and 1 × Lubion injection at the weekend and continuing Progynova tablets.

Unfortunately, I was away for a long weekend and in my panic/trying to hide what I'm doing from family, I've picked silly times for the Cyclogest and Lubion that won't work for normal life (although worked well while I was away). The clinic had told me the Cyclogest has to be 12hrs apart and the Lubion at the same time each day. Do you think I can move both forward by 15 mins a day for a few days to bring it to a more sensible time for me or will that screw things up? Anyone got any experience of this? I can't believe I didn't think it through when I started on Saturday....

Thanks!

I am on exactly the same protocol and asked my clinic about timings for meds and they said as long as I take the lubion in the morning and the cyclogest morning and evening, it doesn’t matter what time I take it. I do my lubion between 630 and 8 in the morning, and cyclogest before 9 in the morning and between 9 and 11 in the evening. I wouldn’t worry too much about moving yours to more practical times.

That's good to know, thank you! I'm a bit paranoid this round and worrying over every little thing. Thanks

I’ve done exactly that before - moved things forward in 15 min intervals and it’s been fine. I was so excited to get going on day 1 and started them at stupid o’clock so had to change it 😅

Good luck! X

I’m having a transfer on Friday too ❤️ I’ve been moving my times to fit around working as I’m very drowsy, I’m on a high dose. I’ve moved it by 15 mins yesterday and again today. My clinic said to do what is necessary and told me not to worry.

[LozR in reply to Tir-26]

Good luck for Friday! Fingers crossed for smooth transfers for us both!

I had this because I had to take the Cyclogest at pessaries after EC and I had to adjust them in a similar way as I was going to be on night shift and so couldnt take them when I was at work due to needing to lie down so everything doesn’t drain straight back out. So I moved them by 15 min each day and clinic had no issues and didn’t affect my transfer.

But I’d check with your clinic maybe just in case?

I'll check in with my clinic on Friday, it's not always easy to get a hold of them on the phone and I know they are really busy

[Hidden in reply to LozR]

mine were also a nightmare - I felt like it was unending phone tag at times. Good luck x

My clinic also said as long as you take in the morning and evening, it’s not as militant with timing as you do for egg collection. Good luck xx

Thank you! x

yeh I flew home and there was an hour time difference so I did half an hour then half an hour the next day to get to a better time xxx

[LozR in reply to Boo718]

Phew, sounds like I can shift the time then, thank goodness! x

I'm due my FET on the 18th and was worried about the same thing. I have been rushing home from my nightly walk to ensure i'm back on time for my cyclogest pessaries. Glad I can be a bit flexible with the timing now.

I was on Buresilin but that stopped last week and then the Cyclogest started.

Good luck with your transfer and if you need to chat etc during it, feel free to drop me a message xxx

[LozR in reply to Anoncasper]

My clinic couldn't get Buresilin this round so I got the decapeptyl injection which was much easier! Just one injection at the start and it lasts for 5 weeks.

Good luck for Thursday! Same to you, feel free to message 😊 x

Yes I moved mine like that! (More like half hour intervals!)
