Low progesterone on transfer day

[Maisie234]

I had my transfer yesterday in Spain and I didn't take the correct needle to inject progesterone on the day of transfer. This morning the clinic called to say my levels were low (8ng/ml) it seems it should be at least 12 on the day. Then I had to go straight into the clinic for the needle and injection. They said to carry on with one injection of lubion per day. I asked if I should double up, and they said no.

Surely it wouldn't hurt to double up? I'm home now and asked my contact why I just can't do this and I haven't got an answer yet... Given time is not on my side and tomorrow is probably too late for implantation to happen, should I just double up and take another? What could the harm be?

Thank you to anyone who has any idea. X

It's entirely up to you, but personally I probably would take extra if I had it and I knew I was low. Best of luck xx

Thank you. That's it done. The clinic got back to me too and said I can do it if I want, so thats two green lights from them and from you. 😬😬

Hope noone comes back and says 'noooo' 😬.

Thankx

More is always better than less when it comes to progesterone. I was on 2x lubion per day and sometimes added extra utrogestan whenever my levels came back a bit lower.

That's reassuring to hear. It's so good to have someone else's opinion, I was / am stressing out. It seems alot of women have 2 lubion per day so I don't know why I wouldn't be? They are in touch today so I will say I want to continue with it. I've thrown everything at this round, double donor too, and I can't afford to keep going. Thank you!! X

I'd probably take extra to be on safe side....you may get a headache from a surge but nothing a paracetamol wouldn't resolve. I'm been on 2 Cyclogest 400mg pessaries a day and 1 prontogest 100mg injection a day up to about 10wks, then i changed to injection and 2 pessaries every other day and 3 pessaries on the day of no injection....12wk scan today so 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 good luck to you xx

Thankyou! I'm just so annoyed I missed that first day. I feel happier hearing you say to take the extra one. I'm having a day off today, work tomorrow, albeit working from home. Just want this to work sooo much. Thanks again!

Wishing you all the best for the scan today too! ♥️🤗 X
