Progesterone shots

Post by brit10 »

When did your progesterone shots start? Was it the same day as the HCG, or do they wait until after the ET to begin the progesterone?

Starting progesterone on the day of hCG sounds early. Starting on the day of retrieval is common.

I started the progestone pessaries at ER then went onto the progestone shots as well when I got my BFP. The shots continued until week 11 and the pessaries until week 12.

Where abouts are you in your treatment?

That's right. Mine also started the day of the ER - forgot that they gave me the shot there - it was the next day that my DH had to start giving them to me.
