Low progesterone after BFP?

[Liediana81]

Did anyone have low progesterone after BFP? My beta today is 250 9dp5dt but progesterone only 27 nmol/L. Doctor added duphaston for me to take, but I wonder if this is too low. It makes me so worried.

I’m on 800mg Cyclogest (400mg*2) and 250mg prolutex IM every 3 days.

Hi Liediana. I would go with what your clinic advises. You may just need a bit of a boost. Good luck! Diane

Mine was 50 something at transfer on my FET and the consultant said that was fine but low for the amount of progesterone I was on (ultrogestan and lubion) and although they weren't particularly concerned, they added extra lubion. Took a couple of weeks to climb after BFP but got to >190. My blood levels on cyclogest rectally were through the roof straight away on previous fresh transfers but I spotted on them which the doctors said was odd so it may be it wasn't getting where it was needed - apparently some women absorb progesterone forms differently. Might be worth seeing whether vaginal pessaries might be better, or even alternating or just adding, but check with your clinic.
