I've never given up hope so quickly! 😔🤦‍♀️

[AuroraXen]

Note to self... never schedule transfers on bank holiday weekends 😒 I had a progesterone test on transfer day and here lies the problem: 'On transfer date' turned out to be too late! I should have asked for it a day or 2 before my FET as the results never come in the same day with my clinic. But this time, with three weekend, I only found out my level today, Sunday!! It was 17 on Thursday. 17! That's so low, way below the 50 they like it to be. I know from what I've read online that our chances here are pretty much non-existent. Worst thing is, I've been afraid of this. My implantation tests were using cyclogest only and so we had to do that for the real thing to replicate it as closely as possible. But I've never had just cyclogest since my 1st ever transfer when I bled on day 2. My body just doesn't seem to absorb it well. My 2nd and 3rd transfers were with lubion alone, just 1 daily, and my level last transfer day was 50 something. I was sure by Saturday my levels were too low so asked my consultant if I could add in lubion and started immediately. But given the result we learned about today, I think it will have been too little too late 😭 It was almost 48 hours after Transfer that I added my first lubion dose, so even if it rose fast, poor embryo would have been without adequate progesterone all that time. Now I know the embie doesn't feed on the progesterone or anything (!) but I'm worried my lining will have been damaged and have already started to break down. I'm so frustrated and upset with myself for now pushing for testing earlier. Feels like we've totally wasted this little embryo 😭

I don’t want to disregard anything you are saying, and sorry it has been stressful. I would still like to encourage you to keep an open mind and try to remain calm, hoping that it creates a good environment for the embryo! I am keeping my fingers crossed for you still

[AuroraXen in reply to Sunflower35]

Thanks Sunflower. I'm not stressing as there's nothing I can do now 😔 I'm disappointed but trying to stay hopeful x

Mine was 23 1 day after transfer and I doubled progesterone. Just feeding my 8 week old now. Please keep positive.

Thank you! I needed to hear something like this 😘 xx

Just wanted to give you a little bit of hope that it’s not too late. I had my progesterone tested on transfer day, also came back low and I was only on cyclogest. My clinic was quite far away so I couldn’t get back straight away for the prescription so was almost 48 hours later I actually started lubion. My daughter is now 18 months old.

Please don’t feel like it’s already failed, you haven’t messed anything up. Got everything crossed for you xxx

This has helped me so much KiboXX, honestly 💜 I'll put my positive pants back on 😂 xx

I got mine tested on FET transfer day and naively I thought that because my clinic hadn't called me that my levels were fine - called them 3 days later just to check and consultant said they had been ok, but lower than he'd expected. So he said add an extra lubion. But then at the same time, the delivery company messed up and taking double meant I missed a whole day of meds. Clinic didn't seem too concerned about all of this but I was in an absolute state as I thought we'd ruined our chances. I tested that night (no rationale whatsoever, almost just to confirm it hadn't worked and to get it over with) and got a BFP. Panicked more then that I wouldn't have enough progesterone to sustain it and when I finally got my meds and started on the double lubion, my levels rose soooo slowly, so again assumed it wouldn't make it as on my previous two early losses my progesterone levels were through the roof early on and still didn't last. None of that mattered apparently as i'm due in a few days from that mess

Thank you so much for sharing this, it's helped me feel more positive again! Bloody progesterone is such a nightmare 😫 😂 Wishing you the best of luck for your big day! Xx

At my clinic they don't even check progesterone levels. I mentioned bout it when I was back for my viability scan, and they told me it didn't make much sense to test at all because the levels will vary during the day anyway. So maybe the levels were 17 at that moment, but if they had checked them at a different moment, they would be higher... We don't know. Just don't lose hope! 💛💛💛

[AuroraXen in reply to sun-and-rain]

Thank you Lovely, that's a good point. Maybe they would have been higher in the afternoon. You've all helped me keep the faith here! X

[Littlepeax]

Sorry to read this Aurora. It really angers me that some clinics don't take progesterone serious enough. My clinic being one. Defo don't lose hope as you've still manged to top it up fairly soon! I don't think I absorb cylogest very well but I think lubion works better for certain people. Huge good luck to you 🥰💫🙏 hoping you get the best news soon xxxx

[AuroraXen in reply to Littlepeax]

Thank you sweetie xx

My first transfer progesterone was only checked 1 week after transfer. Had to up to 8 utrogestan per day!! But it was successful. Subsequent transfers, I've always been told to do the blood test the day after, although results are generally the same or next day. So I don't think this means you're definitely out. Good luck xxx

[Gempuddleduck]

I just wanted to check in and see how you’re feeling now? Xx

[AuroraXen in reply to Gempuddleduck]

Ah thanks that's sweet if you. Well no bleeding yet, so that was a relief. But I tested this morning and BFN 😔 So that's obviously NOT good! I just feel its never gonna be my time 😢 xx

[Gempuddleduck in reply to AuroraXen]

Don’t give up hope yet. Try and wait now until test day and stay positive xxxx
