Progesterone? How much after embryo transfer

[Canadawaterchick]

Hey lovelies, please can you help! So I’m taking pessaries 3 times a day (200mg each), I haven’t had any other progesterone tests but should I push the docs to do a test? Am I taking enough or should I increase the dose? Any help appreciated xxx

Definitely have them tested.I need 2 x Lubion injections per day and 4 x cyclogest pessarie per day but that's more normal.xx

I was supposed to be on cuclogest but twice a day but they were out of stock so gave my utrogestan three times a day but only amounts to 600 mg! I am going to ask for more xx

Good idea! All the best

I started off on 5 utrogestan per day but when progesterone was tested a week after transfer Dr wasn't happy with the levels and put me up to 8 /day!! I would push for a check after transfer. Good luck xxx

Thanks so much! For some reason the hospital don’t want to do a blood test, I find that very odd!! Xxx

I would try to push for them to be checked....I used to be on 2x400mg of progesterone and discovered that's not enough for me! I must add most ladies get away with this and I may be an oddity but if you can have them checked then you'll get peace of mind.xx

Can I ask how you realised it wasn’t enough? I’ve had issues with my cycles due to early progesterone drop off xx

[Cinderella5 in reply to Millbanks]

In my OE cycle I bled early, always 7dp5dt....I was on crinone gel at that time and my NHS clinic said it wasnt possible for my levels to be too low. When I moved onto private I got put on the 800mg of cyclogest daily. My last 2 cycles were BFP but first one I spontaneously lost at 6wks. The next time we had my levels checked when I had my hCG checked and it was really low and too low to sustain a pregnancy so we have upped it for this one to 800mg cyclogest daily and 1 lubion 25mg injection every second day. My levels will be checked on transfer day and progesterone upped again if necessary. However as I said before this isnt common and I may just be an oddity but a few ladies recently have experienced low progesterone recently....heres another post.xx

Thank you for sharing. It’s so frustrating. Fingers crossed they’ve got the right levels for you this time xx

[Cinderella5 in reply to Millbanks]

No problem, we're all fighting this together! Thank you, hoping so.xx

[Tryagain45 in reply to Cinderella5]

I'm going to have mine checked on transfer day next week just in case! Thank you x

[Canadawaterchick in reply to Tryagain45]

Brilliant please do xx

[Tryagain45 in reply to Canadawaterchick]

[Canadawaterchick in reply to Tryagain45]

Absolutely! I’ve opened myself up to. Whole new world and it’s been amazing experience for me!

[Tryagain45 in reply to Canadawaterchick]

Me too. I'm new to this platform and only recently posted anything. It's given me so much info. Wish I'd done it sooner! X

Hey! They never told me what my levels were and now that I’ve read your post, I wonder if I should know too.

They’ve given me injections every other day and 3 times daily with the suppositories.

How often do they or should they be checking in the 2WW. They never checked the last time either

[Canadawaterchick in reply to Rella22]

I’d triple confirm why they put you on that dose and be sure that’s the one. Just to be triple sure there’s no harm whatsoever right xx

[Rella22 in reply to Canadawaterchick]

Exactly!

[Canadawaterchick]

Just had a call from the docs they’re increasing my level to 800mg per day and will do a test too! Thanks lovelies xxx

[Cinderella5 in reply to Canadawaterchick]

Great news!! Well done for pushing, if nothing else but for peace of mind.xx

[Canadawaterchick in reply to Cinderella5]

Thanks so much for the inspiration, if it wasn’t for this group I would never have chased! Much love xxx
