    Gin, I had 12 weeks of progesterone and a 7 week and 12 week scan without being part of a trial in my pct. It seems odd that all IVF pregnancies in my area have progesterone, and elsewhere it would just be a trial. Maybe worth asking them about...

    Best of luck for tomorrow's digital test!

    No, it is really only the 2 weeks of progesterone in my clinic. I heard it is similar in some other clinics. I am hoping for the best tomorrow and if I can, I will take part in the trial - at least I get 50% chance to get progesterone support a bit longer.

    If you don't take part in the trial, you get scan 3 weeks following the test day (7 weeks pregnancy), and then you are 'discharged' to your normal consultant.

    I only did 12 days of progesterone, crinone gel. Started 2 days before my transfer and ended the night before my blood test x

    Ok, I am letting myself believe.

    It still doesn't feel true. Probably because it took 4 years to see this, it will take a long time to sink in. I just need now to hope all goes well. 1 hour to go and I can call the clinic with the result...

    Oh Gin!!!!! Really really made up for u!!! xxx Now here's to a safe n quiet months ahead xxxxxxxxxx

    Congratulations!!!!!!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    I was like jiblets, I had 12 weeks of Progesterone ( I choose injections as I felt pessaries might not give me correct dose, i'm still badly bruised form those shots) and 12 weeks of oestrogen, but every clinic has it's own protocol

    I only pop in randomly now, so fantastic news to start the day!

    I had a frozen embryo transfer, and continued with the pessaries until 12 weeks, which whilst messy, gave me peace of mind that I was doing everything possible to help the little jelly bean.

    Heres to a quiet and non-eventful 8 months!:D
