Progesterone, Estradiol and Prometrium after IUI

[allie_44107]

Hi girls-

I had my second IUI today at 2pm.  I had my trigger shot yesterday at 9am.  My doc prescribed estradiol, prometrium (both in pill form) and progesterone suppositories for the next 2 weeks until my pregnancy blood test.  

Anyone else on these and do you know why?  My doc just said my hormone levels were very low and he wanted to me take these to sustain the embryo if it does implant.

Any knowledge/expereinece you have is greatly appreciated!

Thanks girls!

I do Clomid but this cycle I will also do estrodial and prometrium. Best of luck to you! :)

thanks so much for you reply-I feel better now.

I am wishing you the best of luck on your IVF!!!  Baby dust to you....

Sounds like your doctor is on top of things. If your hormone levels are low, it makes perfect sense to use progesterone and estrogen supplements after ovulation. I've only used progesterone in the past, but I'm currently getting ready for IVF and will be on both estrogen and progesterone after retrieval. Best of luck to you!
