Q. In frozen embryo procedure, are shots necessary or will suppositories do?
Hello doctor,
When doing a frozen embryo transfer cycle, is it absolutely necessary to use progesterone in oil shots or will the suppositories work the same?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
How are you doing?
- I am sure it is the painful pricks that is making you ask this query. It is the belief of the treating doctor, that a particular type of Progesterone is more effective. So, based on the doctor's experience, the different routes of Progesterone are preferred.
- But as per studies, the effectiveness of vaginal progesterone suppositories is the highest, with a least first pass metabolism (so less is lost into the blood) and minimal side effects. So, I would advise vaginal natural micronized Progesterone 200 mg two to three times a day.
- Aqueous formulations is supposed to be painless, but actually, it is painful, with an occasional hematoma or painful swelling at the site.
- Vaginal application of progesterone gel, spray, or capsules are all equally effective.
Hope I have clarified your query. Do write back. All the best.
