Experiences with

Progesterone

I supplement with progesterone cream, I started this 6 months ago, I take my levothyroxine at 6am 150mg prior to starting progesterone my levels were optimal both T4 and T3 ... now they keep dropping since then, can continuously supplementing progesterone cause absorbtion issues???

hi all, has anyone tested progesterone levels after a pregnancy test and had levels go down slightly without a bad outcome? I was 30.8 prior to transfer, started taking Lubion alongside utrogestan x 3 and on transfer day my levels were at 55.

I start Progesterone pessaries tomorrow and I have to take 1 in the morning a 2 in the evening. Has anyone else had this dose? I’m going to ring my clinic tomorrow to confirm but do you take the 2 at the same time

I believe progesterone peaks the week before menstruation and then drops suddenly triggering blood loss. My doctor won’t let me take oestrogen without progesterone and has suggested the mirena coil instead of progesterone capsules.

has anyone had a day 5 embryo transfer on 7th day of progesterone? Started progesterone today but fet is on friday? Is this normal? Did you have success ?

Hello everyone, I just had a question about progesterone. So I did an IVF FET(HRT) on 16th Aug and was asked to test my progesterone during the TWW. On 22nd August my progesterone was 40.26 ng/mL I later went on to get a BFP and bhcg (24,000 now) has been rising as it should.

When I arrived I had my first scan and had my progesterone checked. I then had my trigger shot at the same time before the bloods were back. I then found out that my progesterone levels are very very high without any progesterone supplementation. It was 18ng/ml.

I got my initial blood tests back today and my GP commented on how high my progesterone was - so high that it could indicate pregancy (but my period arrived today so I’m very much not pregnant!) Has anyone else had high progesterone and did it cause issues? Thanks in advance.

We are doing our IVF treatment abroad and I wanted to ask if any of you know a place in the UK (London/ Reading/ Oxford) that can do a private progesterone blood test with a 24h turnaround? If If I can get that done in the UK it would save me flying back and forth for my next transfer.

Hello Ladies anyone with progesterone injections a friend on mind need it urgently. Lives in London plz kindly pv me with help

Hi All, I’ve just had my HRT prescription changed - more estrogen and separate progesterone pills to be taken at night (have been on combined patch for 3yrs). I feel much better when I take Levo at night - do we know if progesterone interferes with Levo?

Finally, did you also use lubion injections into your tummy whilst on daily progesterone in oil injections too? Thank you so much xx🙏💕

Any advice on progesterone levels / side effects / harm etc would be appreciated. Thanks xx

I always thought it was between day 17-20, but does it depend on when progesterone support is commenced, I.e. transfer is planned for blastocyst transfer 5 days later? So the clinic could delay transfer by not commencing progesterone as early to fit your transfer in with their lab availability?

Went to early pregnancy unit who kept me there to monitor blood loss , the scan confirmed I had miscarried but my hcg bloods were over 4000 when I was going home and progesterone was only 9 , they expected progesterone levels to be higher especially being on Cylogest pessarys x 2 per day , my clinic

My clinic called today (I had FET yesterday and checked progesterone before the transfer). My levels came back low! 12.4 and what I've been told it should be 20 the lowest. I am waiting for my clinic to give me some progesterone injections to take daily.

Had big LH surge and both oestrogen and progesterone were higher than previously. Did d21 progesterone blood test today (too early and will go again) but level was below 1. Has anyone else had this and then tested later and had a positive progesterone rise?

I'm down to 5 mg of oral progesterone, and I'm developing a very bad itchy rash. Anyone else experienced this and how did you cope with it? It's driving me mad!😠

Has anyone been able to get a hormone test then improve symptoms with progesterone? I think my RLS gets worse with estrogen - maybe I have high levels of estrogen and not enough progesterone?! My GP didn't think it could be related to hormones and therefore won't give me a hormone test.

Currently using topical estrogen and vaginal progesterone to avoid the liver and hopefully avoid negative symptoms of progesterone sensitivity. I'm hopeful I can find a way to continue to take HRT without the worsening of my RLS/PLMD.
