Help me...my RE doesn't feel it makes a difference to use either of these after tranfer but the embryologist feels there is a 1% higher pregnancy rate with PIO. My husband is a wimp when it comes to giving me the shot so then I have to find someone everyday to do it for me, actually that is more of a PITA then getting the PIO.lol sorry so long do you think it is worth the 1% increase???

" My doctor told me to switch to the cream since he said I will get very sore. I asked him what is better. He said the shot it the best however thre is not really a difference. I was worried, but I changed. I think my headaches have been worse with the cream therefore I am changing back to the shot. I really don't think it makes much of a difference. I did some research since I was a bit concerned and nothing came up negative at all. "
