Progesterone for ERA test

[Nenad]

Hi there, I’m doing an ERA test soon and have been given oral utrogestan to take for my progesterone. For my FET I’ll be taking Cyclogest on a higher dose.

So my question is does the medication need to be identical?

I’m doing both at different clinics hence the slight variation. Grateful for advice/experiences etc.

Many thanks

hi I had this done and had the same progesterone medication brand wise for the mock era and then for a real transfer too

also, if your in between clinics, then following the era results the clinic doing your FET should follow that plan down to a T.

I would ask for the same medication used in your era cycle.

It should be kept the same as you may absorb them differently. X

I was told it didn’t need to be the same amount, just the same exact amount of time taken etc

thanks everyone, this is really helpful. I also rang the clinic and they said no harm either way so I’ll stick with the Cyclogest xx

Hi. Progesterone given via mucus membrane m does absorb more ewadily (front or back passage). It tops up what you need if necessary. It will be fine I’m sure. Good luck. Diane
