15dp5dt - second beta: 1590! But progesterone is still low 😕so starting injections tonight

Hello ladies,

Clinic called: my second beta is fine, HCG had a 60% rise which they said are happy with. This makes me happy.

However, my progesterone is still low, it’s 50- they like it to be at least 80. Will be starting Prontogest injections tonight, do you have any experience with it?

I’ve asked the nurse whether I’m at risk of miscarriage due to the progesterone being so low, she didn’t really answer but said ‘injections will fix it!’- so I can’t totally relax 🙈

Will do another blood test on Friday to check ...

Thinking of you all and sending positivity which is always needed 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

My clinic has never even tested my progesterone levels! I can imagine lots of people go on to have healthy pregnancies with low progesterone and just don't know it! But at least they are checking yours and doing something about it so that you have the best chance. xxx

Thank you Emmie, are you with a private clinic or NHS? Mine is private and I must say it’s really an amazing clinic I would recommend to everybody! Xx

[ttcemmie in reply to Hidden]

Private. It's an hour and a half drive's away from our house! Chose it because of their success rates and history and reputation! Stuck with them now on this 2 year unlimited thingy. Can't really complain about them so far, though.

[Hidden in reply to ttcemmie]

Yeah not round the corner- mine is so it the same time just by tube. It’s strange that being private they don’t check your progesterone level, have you aver asked? Surely even if it’s a package you should be able to do add-ons? X

[ttcemmie in reply to Hidden]

Good point. I WILL ask. Not that I've been worried about it, though!

[Hidden in reply to ttcemmie]

I wasn’t worried either, then I decided to ask 😂😂😂and now here I am. But I did well in asking otherwise they may have not picked it up! X

Great numbers, your levels are maybe a little on the low side but not disasterously! They'll soon hike up with the injections, all the best!xx

Hi Issy it’s great that your clinic is so thorough! You are in safe hands

Can’t believe how many blood tests they are offering you too, much better than using hpts. Are you feeling any pregnancy symptoms ? X

[Hidden in reply to Mmmpudding]

Hey pudding! It’s not really an offer, I pay for each one ahahah it’s good that they are thorough yes, but I did ask them to check for peace of mind (and was I right!) I’m feeling good overall, a bit tired and have nausea some time but that’s pretty much all....how are you? Xx

Good thing your Clinic is checking, mine isnt checking at all.. although it's there protocol to continue with cyclogest 2 times daily till 12weeks. I am also on metformin (first time I am using it, Dr says it will help because of my miscarriage history) to keep my hormones in check till 12weeks.

I am wondering if I should request for the test or just let it be.

No cause for you to worry at all, you got all your bases covered. Baby dust to us both 😁🍀🍀🍀🍀

I’m a bit of an anxious patient so prefer to have everything covered and I’ve asked them to check. And I’m glad I did- even if that means I’ll be starting injections tonight! Xxx yes fingers crossed we’ll be fine 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀❤️❤️❤️❤️
