Infertility

Anyone use medical staff or an urgent care for assistance with PIO?

I have to travel for work, and will be using PIO twice a day. I will not be traveling with anyone I know that could help administer the shot.... And I'm not attempting it myself. I see that our hotel has "medical staff". Wondering if they'd help with something like that? I'll be in Baltimore so there will also be other medical professionals nearby. Suggestions?? Thank you!

  • hmmm...no experience with this, but seems like a logical option, if you're uncomfortable with doing them yourself. I'd see no harm in it.  GL with travel and the injections.

  • Is switching to crinone or endometrin an option? In all my cycles, I never used PIO.

     IVF #2 Nov '11  8R/8M/4F 3dt x2 - chemical

    IVF #3 April '12  11R/6M/4F 3dt x2 - m/c

  • You can see if the hotel staff or concierge have any ideas or contacts. Also, you can try contacting Shady Grove Fert. There is a nurse who advertises with them who does shots. I saw her card at an office near DC, but the Bmore or Towson locations may know if she goes up that way.
    This is a great idea.  I needed to do my PIO when I was is L.A. (after last cycle) and I was fortunate to find a nurse that does this... It was a life saver!  I am sure that one of the local clinics would be able to recommend someone that does this.  Good luck!

  • Thank you. I called the hotel today and they don't have anyone on staff. I asked about crinone before, but my doctor said he prefers PIO for a FET. I was hoping that would work!! Thanks again!!
