Infertility

No PIO protocal?

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.
