Hey guys! Based on two transfers that have ended in early miscarriages I asked for my progesterone levels to be tested prior to my third transfer (this coming Tuesday). I went for my blood test today and they have called to say that my level has come back at 30.8 (I believe the range starts from 30?) so I am borderline. As a result they’ve said based on my history I should proceed with Lubion injections for this attempt …. And I’m absolutely dreading it 😖😖
I was wondering what sort of progesterone level is considered good prior to transfer.. as maybe being told mine is low compared to where it should be will inspire me a bit. As awful as the end results to my last two transfers have been, I’ve been so appreciative of a break from injections (having three egg collections sort of back to back).
Also for those of you who do take them, are they ok? The consultant said they don’t hurt but I feel like I’ve read other things on this forum 👀 and if you don’t mind sharing what sort of doses you are on… or whether it’s just a standard amount?
Just feeling a bit anxious about the whole thing which is so silly given the amount of needles we have to put up with in the world of ivf!! Hopefully after my first injection later I’ll be a little less anxious.
*update* so I’ve had the first injection and it’s absolutely not great 😂 I am going to change my question to does anyone have any tips for how to make it a bit more bearable? It was not too bad going in but is quite sore/throbby an hour and half on…. Can’t believe this may be for 12 weeks 🤯
Sorry im actually boring myself with how much of a baby I’m being about it but equally any tips welcome 😂🙏🏼
