I am speaking for my wife, but i am not sure what the levels were the first time, honestly i dont think they told her, only that it was low and she needed to up her progesterone and estrogen intake.

The second test (for the bfp) they said the levels were right on target, but also didnt give a ...

We did the first test on monday the 21st. they didnt say anything about levels..other than she needed to up the POI to 1.5cc and estrogen to two patches.

we go for the second test monday which they have sorta said is the "pregnancy test"

We did the Xfer on the 14th, so that is basically 2 weeks.

My first thought is it's negative...but really you can see the positive line, just very faintly.


I dont know...im sure it's just going to feed my obsession, but i think it definately could be interpretted as ...

Im so nervous about it though. We dont test untill monday, and ...

Low Progesterone levels

Wife had her first BT monday, which is 7 days after we had 2 8 cell embryo's transferred.


They told her her progesterone and estrogen levels were low and to up the dosage.


something else to add doubt to our minds obviously, but how big of a deal is this really?

We upped the shot to 1.5cc of POI ...

Well...we got discouraging news today. Only 1 Blastocyst was frozen :(

had 12 cultured.


I dont know if this is bad news or not...i really don't know how to interpret those kind of results, but it just doesnt seem promising.

Wife just called.

We had 12 make it to a viable stage.


a few were already 9 10 and 11 cell. They didnt transfer those as the doc said apparently if the advance too fast sometimes that can cause rejection.

The transferred 2 emby's. 1 -- 7 cell and 1 -- 8 cell. The doc told her that if they can ...
