Most doctors I know prefer to prescribe PIO.

The studies I've seen reported similar success rates with the two.

I prefer PIO over anything I have to insert vaginally. It seems like anything vaginally upsets my natural balance and irritates the crap out of me. My RE says it could not affect a cycle, but when I used estrace and progesterone suppositories I was very uncomfortable adding additional stress to the whole IVF process.
