I can't answer your question as far as injections vs cream as I have never done the cream. Hated the shots, but were necessary evil (if you know what I mean). BUT these last two IVFs I did (the ones with the injections were years ago), I got progesterone troches. There is a pharmacy near Baltimore, MD called Austin's that makes them. They are a waxy like pill that you put under your tongue to dissolve. By far the best way to get progesterone as far as I'm concerned! Seems to work too as I got a wonderful baby boy out of the process. Check with your doc to see if this is possible. Austin's will overnight UPS (that's what they did for me). Hope all goes well for you!
