Has anyone NOT done PIO in their IVF protocal?
2 months post my FET and I still have numbness and nerve pain from my PIO shots, so even though it will be a while before we do another IVF I am wondering if anyone else's RE uses another method. My RE strictly uses PIO stating they had more successes. We will be seeking a 2nd opinion but thought I would ask my wise ladies here too!

Re: No PIO protocal?
Both clinics I've been with use PIO with all protocols. They feel it's the best way to get progesterone into the blood stream.
You can ask about maybe a combo of supps and lower dose of PIO.
