Low Progesterone during 2WW

[Baby_gurl]

Has anyone here struggled with low progesterone levels after embryo transfer and went on to have a BFP? I had my transfer last Tuesday and they rang me the next day to say that my progesterone level was at 46 and that I needed to add 400mg three times a day. I did another blood test today and it’s at 59. I’ll be adding twice a day on the days I’m not taking Lentogest.

I am feeling very hopeless at this point as I feel like implantation would have/would not have already happened by this point and that this cycle has already failed.

Yes my levels were 21 and I had to increase the pessaries and got my BFP. So don’t worry. I’m now 12+ weeks x good luck

Thanks so much. That’s very reassuring!

And congratulations on your BFP! You must be so excited 🤗

Does the progesterone need to be above 100 during 2ww..

Even mine is at 20... what to do

Hello Suyusayme,

What I found out was that the levels don’t matter initially. I am a slow responder. But my clinic kept an eye on my levels and kept increasing my meds until my levels were above 100. The extra progesterone is just for support. My advice is to talk to your consultant at the clinic and see what they say about the situation.

It depends the units of measurement too. Depending on where you are they could be nmol/l or ng/l and the numbers are very different!!xxx
