Fresh IVF transfer - progesterone level

[Anonymou5]

Hi All,

Im just wondering what our progesterone level should be, around transfer?

I had a progesterone test 3 days post egg retrieval, which I received today and it measured at 190.8nmol/L, is that too high?

(First progesterone level tested before embryo transfer - so I have no clue).

Many Thanks in Advance xx

Mine was 125 day of embryo transfer ,but this was a frozen cycle so can’t comment of a fresh and I didn’t have a check . my clinic have been rubbish and said they can’t comment on artificial levels of progesterone when I asked for feedback . I actually pushed to have the test myself as I have not been checked at all during my transfers . In a natural cycle they want at least 30 so odvs we are well above that . I have heard you can’t have too much progesterone however . X

Thank you for getting back to me, 30! Brilliant I managed to get a blood test at my GP (190.8) and then paid for the blood test at the clinic, for transfer day (yesterday). They didn’t mention the levels or to be fair I don’t think they check them out of routine. But seeing fellow people on this forum requesting beforehand and my period coming through in my TWW i insisted. I guess the prontogest may be working 😊 xx

Hiya, I had frozen embryo transfer today. Two hours before I had progesterone blood test and the results were 221 nmol/l. My clinic said this is 'fantastic', they aim for over 50. I'm also curious if they can be too high 😆 but I have a lot of faith in the head nurse I spoke to so hoping for the best 🙏 wishing you luck!x

Thank you for your response, I had another progesterone test on transfer day in which the result remained at 191nmol/L. Apparently there was no cause for concern. From what I’ve read from other people posts the higher the unit value the better 🤩 Wishing us all the baby dust in the world xx
