Cyclogest

[Pizzax]

hi ladies

Those of you who have taken this medication above in the subject line did you take it rectally or vaginally? I start taking this from Sunday twice a day plus the Lubion injection. The last time I had my fresh embryo transfer I was taking Cyclogest rectally, but this time I’m wondering if it’ll absorb better taking it vaginally as I’m reading mixed reviews online. Would love to hear from you, ladies as to your opinions or experiences tysm xx

Hi Hun, I'm also on 2x cyclogest. My clinic advice me to alternate rectally and vaginally. So I take it rectally in the morning (no mess in underwear before leaving for work), and in the evening I pop it vaginally.l and use a panty liner. Checked my progesterone levels last time yesterday and I'm adsorbing well. What did they told you to do tho?

Hi, excuse my ignorance. Just wondering how did you check progesterone levels please?

Blood test at the clinic. Is part of the plan ahead of a transfer

my clinic advised me to take it Cyclogest rectally and I also use prontogest.

My clinic monitors progesterone levels every other day after transfer and adjust the dosage of Cyclogest and prontogest when necessary

Hi, my clinic in Spain advised to use them vaginally because they say it is absorbed slightly better, however, my previous clinic in the UK had told me to do it rectally but only because it was “less messy”.

The clinic in Spain tested my progesterone levels in the morning of my transfer and they were perfect. I was told to put another pessary back in after the transfer because they clean the area just before putting the embryo in and my levels could drop before the next dose. I got a BFP so I continue to use them vaginally.

Best of luck!!!

if your taking to? I’d do one each, rectal in the morning and vaginally before bed so nothing seeps out! I have 3 a day! Certainly causes a mess!
