*Senditive* Progesterone levels after OTD

[pinky30]

Dirs anyone have their progesterone checked whilst waiting for viability scan as it's there a level your clinics still like you to be at/over?

Mine is fluctuating between 50-75 and even with extra meds i can't seem to get it higher... My clinic prefers it over 100 but i'm already on injections, oral tabs, suppositories, & crinone gel. don't know what else to do 🤯

Hi Pinky, my clinic does test progesterone on and after the OTD. Mine was on the low side on OTD (around 54).

I was on:

Utrogestan tablets x 6 daily

Crinone gel x 2 daily

Lentogest 3 times a week

Following the OTD, we added one Lubion injection daily which seemed to do the trick, though it took about 5 days or so rise to above 100. If it hadn't risen, the clinic would have recommended two Lubion injections daily, in addition to all the other stuff I was on.

Thank you - are you at CRGH by any chance?

Yes.

Hey I was with CRGH as well, I had Lentogest x 3 a week added and that did the trick for me, I was on different meds to Haf05.

They did say to me they are over cautious with their over 100 requirement and most clinics wanted over 25, and anything over 50 initially was ok so I shouldn't worry too much if it took a while to creep up x

Yez - I know - they said the same to me. They are monitoring me as an overseas patient but i need my overseas clinic to prescribe. I feel a little extra can't hurt and has to be better than risk being borderline. I have no more embryos so need all the help i can get! I'm on the CRGH protocol of Lentogest, Utrogestan & crinone & then we added cyclogest last week but hasn't really boosted enough so hoping if i add a lubion it will do the trick!

Hi pinky. The results are not so bad. Perhaps some Lubion thrown into the mix?? Good luck! Diane

Yes that's what i'm thinking Diane! Thank you 🙏
