Gestagens

[Sophie1967]

Hi There

One more question please - the clinic has sent me a list of some of the medications I will need to use prior to proceedure - can you please tell me which are the most "successful" of the options below - I'm not afraid of injections so if this is recommended as the best strategy I would like to know

Thank you again in advance.


· Gestagens

Can be used as capsules, pessaries, gel or intramuscular injections

Capsules: Utrogestan 100 or 200mg , Prometrium 100 or 200mg
Pessaries: Cyclogest 400mg
Gel: Crinone
Injections: Geston, Agolutin

Dear Sophie:

We cannot give medical advice or comment on individual treatments here.
If there was a "best" treatment," everyone would use it!
Having said that, in my opinion, there is no role for Prometrium in assisted reporductive techonolgies. Of the preparations you listed, Crinone and intramuscular progesterone have the longest track records and medical evidence supporting either one.
