3 Forms of progesterone

Hi Everyone

I was wondering if anyone has ever been prescribed 3 forms of progesterone to use at once?. I have Utrogestan, Cyclogest and Lubion prescribed and have never used these all together before and had successfull outcome. This is my 3 rd egg collection after recently having a MMC at 7 weeks.

I haven't had the three prescribed specifically to use at once but I've used the three when I ran out of meds or when I was worrying about absorption/low levels and my doctor didn't seem concerned. His view was you can't have too much and he seemed to think the different forms wouldn't make a difference but were worth a try. Tbh if you've got a doctor who's willing to try all three instead of being dogmatic or dismissing progesterone entirely it sounds like you're in good hands.

yes, I had all three and my daughter is now 13 months! Prior to that I had 6 fresh cycles, 16 embryos transferred and either failed rounds or miscarriages. My daughter was our first DE round but I am sure the progesterone made a huge difference as previously I had only ever been on cyclogest and always bled before OTD x

Can I ask if you did the urogestan and the Cyclogest together as I have to one vaginally and the other rectally and trying to work out what times to take them?

I took cyclogest rectally, utrogestan orally and Lubion injections. All at once. Lubion twice a day, utrogestan three times a day and cyclogest also three times. Few days Later they prescribed me even more progesterone (Crinone) and I took that vaginally. I wish you all the success! I hope you get your happy ending!
