BFP but low progesterone and anxiety is through the roof

[Noodleone]

Gah. Every step of the journey is harder.

We had the best news on Tuesday with my first ever BFP at age 41 after FET. I thought this would bring relief but my progesterone is low (hcg good 641 at 11dp5dt then 2651 at 14dp5dt) and they’ve told me we ‘need to wait and see’.

My anxiety since the second test has been almost uncontrollable and I can’t get past thinking it’s all going to be taken away from me.

Would love any positive stories of pregnancy with low progesterone or coping tools for getting to the viability scan!

Can you not get a progesterone supplement from your clinic?

[dreams28 in reply to dreams28]

Pessaries or injections

[Noodleone in reply to dreams28]

I am taking both

[dreams28 in reply to Noodleone]

Can they not up your dose

[Noodleone in reply to dreams28]

They’ve said upped doses won’t increase absorption and that this is the best they can do. I was a hrt FET cycle so have been taking pessaries for 3+ weeks and tablets following Tuesday’s positive

Hope it all works out ok for you

What a shame it's not unadulterated joy at the BFP. Are you taking any progesterone support? My progesterone was a bit low when tested during the 2ww and Dr had me double up the pessaries. My baby's 4 months today. Hope your little embie hangs on in there xxx

Unfortunately already on both pessaries and tablets

I'll be keeping everything crossed for you then xxx
