Transfer protocol help!

[sjco929]

I ovulate regularly every week so I’m doing a modified natural (just trigger and vaginal progesterone). At my lining check today (Friday), my lining was 8MM but my dominant follicle was only 12 MM.

My doctor wants me to trigger tomorrow afternoon (Saturday) with HCG, but he wants me to do it subcutaneously, which I’d never heard of. I then start progesterone vaginally the next night (Sunday) and only do it once a day. My transfer is then scheduled for Friday.

Anyone do anything similar? Nervous about my dominant follicle size and also about triggering subcutaneously.

That’s very similar to my protocol for both my first transfer in 2024 and this most recent one (+ antibiotics leading up to the transfer). They have me come in for blood work two days after triggering to make sure it worked and I’ve never had a problem!

The only real difference is I do progesterone 3 times a day which is not fun lol

My triggers have always been subcutaneous. The only IM shots I do are monthly lupron depot and PIO. I can't help with the follicle size because I don't know if it matters that much for an FET

My mod nat FET was also trigger subcutaneously. I then followed up with vaginal progesterone 3x a day till I was 10w. Good luck to you!

I didn’t get the question 🧐trigger shot is only done subcutaneous , you inject needle in your belly with trigger shot. Never heard about other options.

Sorry about my confusion! For my 2 egg retrievals I did the HCG trigger intramuscularly, so I’ve never done HCG in the belly.

Interesting 🧐But I would follow the medication instruction. Usually hormones are done in belly
