A member asked:

Are efficiency of cyclogest (progesterone) suppositories 400mg similar to crinone vaginal gel 8% efficiency in supporting luteal phase in ivf after embryo transfer?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ask your IVF doctor: both are progesterone but the doses are different. One applicatorful of crinone (progesterone gel) 8% is 90 mg of progesterone, and the cyclogest is 400mg.
