This is a video of my friend helping me take my first progesterone shot four days before the embryo transfer! Please talk to your doctor about proper procedures, because we might not do everything perfectly. Thanks!

  • The progesterone is only needed until the body is able to take over in the production of it. I heard typically until 12 weeks after the embryo transfer, so like 3 months into the pregnancy. The only reason I could think of a doctor wanting you to take the shots for 35 weeks is if your body wasn't producing the progesterone for you... I'm not a doctor though...

  • Hey there, I just saw the last comment finally. I think 'your' bottle might have said do not refigerate, but my doctor told me it was fine, and apparently the refigerator didn't hurt it, because I had twins, so I guess it's anyone's preference. Thanks talkinrussian for the comment.

  • Thursday I will officially be in week 14. And last monday, we found out that one of them is a girl! Woo hoo! looks like some pink will be in the wardrobe. we'll find out on April 27 what the other one is at the next ultrasound.

  • I'm pregnant with twins now, so I must have done something right. Good luck to everyone else doing IVF!

  • Thank you so much for posting this video. My sister is going to give me these shots. I'm really nervous and she's a little nervous. This video made both of us feel better. My clinic recommended that I keep the oil at room temperature but the fact that your friend injected refrigerated oil into your body and you didn't yelp, really made me feel better. Thank you for sharing something so personal.

  • Until what weeks did you had the shots until. My doctor said for me until 35, but dont know why longer.

  • In the bottle is written in plain English: do not refrigerate, keep in room temperature. You, guys, messed up the storing of this medicine with medicine for IVF (ganilerix, ovidrel, etc.) Also use the alcohol pad to take the needle out. lol

  • thanks for posting. congratulations!
