Ghost- progesterone levels

Post by Wishingandhoping »

Ghost- I just had my first beta today at 11dp5dt, and my level is 980. Needless to say, we're very excited, but a little nervous about more than twins! I just spoke to a nurse at the office, and my progesterone is only 10.6. I'm doing 1 cc of PIO every night. She said that the level was a little low, but not to worry. Unfortunately my RE is gone for the day. I am wondering if I need to do suppositories and PIO. I asked the nurse and she said that she really didn't know if my RE ever did that. My RE's IVF nurse is no longer with the practice, and this nurse is his "regular" nurse. I'm wondering if I should just page the on-call RE. After a miscarriage 3 months ago, I just don't want to take any chances. Does your clinic ever do PIO and suppositories? Thanks for your help!

I would call the RE on call & ask if you could just increase your PIO.
ME: 32
DH: 38 (Severe MF)

IVF 1: BFP...M/C
IVF 2-5: BFN
IVF 6: BFP...it's twins!!

A strong, positive attitude will create more miracles than any wonder drug.

Yes, various forms of progesterone supplements have been used together, including PIO with vaginal forms.

Yes, I would page the on-call RE.
Avoid IVF and surrogacy in Ukraine. Ukrainian centers pay shills to post here under numerous sock accounts pretending to be patients in Ukraine. Centers using such deceptive advertising cannot be trusted and should be avoided.

my re liked my progesterone level to be over 20. i was at 22 and she had me on pio and suppositories until i was 10 weeks. i would call your re and see if they can start you on suppositories ASAP. tell them of your history with m/c. good luck :)
