    @mokay19 that’s awesome you made a PP for your DH! ☺️ Glad it was a positive discussion too! Hopefully the medicated/unmonitored cycles work and an IVF loan won’t even have to happen! 

    @misshelen86 a spreadsheet is a great idea! My OB has a patient portal with all my results and pretty charts like @inthewoods23 mentioned. I’ve read reviews that say my RE is old school and still uses paper charts, so I doubt they have an online portal...I may be making a spreadsheet here soon too!

    @inthewoods23 it's definitely not a pleasant feeling. Everything down below just feels...greasy? 
    @mokay19 it doesn't have a specific name, it just says "progesterone suppositories" on the bag. I hope I am not starting too early. They said 3 days after my LH surge rather than 3dpo. I got my peak reading on Monday, so I started today. 🤞

    Hey, does anyone have time use progesterone suppositories and injections? I'm doing both with my IVF cycle - seems like overkill, but better safe than sorry, I guess? I ordered my meds today - eek!

    @ruby696 my clinic said that if we did IVF, I would do oral, suppositories, and PIO because your body isn't producing any progesterone and they need to make sure you have plenty for everything going on in there.

    @ruby696 dang, that's a lot of progesterone! When do you start meds? 
  • Options
    @ruby696 I do both PIO and suppositories! There's definitely no shortage of progesterone this way haha.

    @emeraldduchess I'm just waiting for full flow (sorry, TMI) to start BC for ten days. Then I start the good stuff.

    @crookshanks10 Yes! It's like holy progesterone! 😂

    @mokay19 that's awesome that your GM was so open to that discussion and that he wants to look into the insurance coverage for IF!

    @mokay19 that's so great that he was so understanding!
