Cyclogest ladies anybody had progesterone tested early pregnancy ?

Hi ladies

For those of you who had cyclogest 400mg twice daily during early pregnancy did anyone have their progesterone levels tested to ensure they weren’t too low. I’m having a huge panic as just had mine tested several days ago when was 8 weeks 4 days and they came back 454 nmol/L which is 142 ng/ml is this the result of cyclogest and I never really needed it to begin with. Everywhere I read says trimester 1 range is between 10 - 47 ng/ml how can mine be 142!!😮

What were your readings?

Feeling at a loss who to speak to as my clinic have signed me off since viability scan ...

Hi sunset, I asked my consultant about testing levels (as my transfers have not stuck) and he said the only reason progesterone is prescribed is a belt and braces approach, he said that body would produce enough to sustain levels for pregnancy. I don't know whether this is true in all cases as must be some people who need it, but I thought it was interesting.

Hi there, I was in the same situation and very similar progesterone blood test result at week 10. That's a good sign, your placenta is producing enough progesterone which is a sign of healthy pregnancy. I was taking cyclogest 400 twice a day until week 11 and I was told that this can not do any harm. You can start reducing a dosage to one per day and then stop completely by week 11 or 12. I am looking now at my 10 weeks old healthy baby girl. Best of luck!
