HCG & Progesterone Levels
July 18, 2008
I got my results back from this morning's blood test (13 dpo) and was told my HCG levels were great at 145 and that my progesterone was low at 14.1. I'm already on progesterone suppositories 2x daily. Would the next step be to up it to 3x daily? I'm waiting to hear back on this from my RE but am curious. Thanks!
My progesterone level on 7DPO for this pregnancy was 14.3, and that was really low for me, so they waited till I got a BFP or not, and of course I did, so they RX me prometrium to take once at night, and thats it, and my little guy is still in there, im 22weeks now, and took the meds till 12weeks preggo!
You should be totally fine on the 2x a day!

yup, she is right - they do give you progesterone every round of IVF and some docs do it with IUI cycles too, depends on your doc with that one. Mine did. I never had any issues with progesterone levels but my doc said since they are manipulating my cycle and making it do what they wanted they didnt want to risk anything with something they could very well help. They just gave the progesteone and it doesnt hurt anything so why not take it?
