Progesterone units?

[Magic_waiting2happen]

Hi guys! Does anyone know if clinics in the uk use ug or nmol to measure progesterone? Mine was 23.4 today and the clinic in czech said it’s fine it is one and it’s too low if it’s the other? Thanks!

Hi lovely, I'm pretty sure its nmol in the UK. xx

My clinic likes it to be over 50nmol on transfer day - and will up the amount if it's not. xx

Thank you they have confirmed now it’s in nmol so my clinic have told me to up my lubion to everyday rather than every other and I will retest on Monday! A little worried now! Xx

[Millbanks in reply to Magic_waiting2happen]

Where are you in the 2ww? Did you test on transfer day? xx

I’m 5 week now on donor egg transfer - I have also just been to the loo and there is blood! I’m devastated I don’t know what to do! X

[Millbanks in reply to Magic_waiting2happen]

Try not to panic - bleeding in pregnancy is really common - way more common than we are lead to believe - particularity in IVF pregnancies.Is it dark red blood, or just some spotting? xx

It started off brown and is getting lighter and is red blood now. I have had a few cramps today as well 😢 my clinic have said to up the progesterone but I don’t know if I should go for a scan? X

[Millbanks in reply to Magic_waiting2happen]

There is nothing more worrying than seeing blood but honestly it doesn’t always mean something bad.I would call your clinic and see if they can fit you in. They won’t be able to see much or a heartbeat as it’s too early but they will be able to see where the bleeding is coming from (hopefully) xx

Thank you - our clinic is in czech so I don’t know whether to book an early private scan? I have my bloods and progesterones again on Monday to test the levels x

[Millbanks in reply to Magic_waiting2happen]

If it will reassure you then it’s probably worth it xx

Mine have always used nmol, in which case 23 is a bit low xx

[Magic_waiting2happen in reply to soccerkt6]

Thank you! What is the normal levels? Xx

Just to give you some reassurance, my progesterone was 190 nmol two days before transfer and only 29 nmol the day after (taking the same amount of progesterone) and I have twins from that pregnancy.
