Ghost- estrogen and progesterone after transfer

Post by Wishingandhoping »

Ghost- I had a fresh transfer of 2 blasts 1 week ago (5 dt). I have been spotting (brown, red, and pink) for 2 days. My RE checked progesterone today- 21. And estradiol was 63 (from 1600 last week). All I'm taking right now is PIO- 1 cc qhs. My RE is out of town but someone is supposed to call me back. HPT is positive, but can a pregnancy be supported with these levels? Thanks for your help!

My clinic would consider your progesterone level adequate but would take steps to increase your estradiol. Some clinics give estradiol and some don't. It has not been shown to improve outcome, but has been shown to reduce bleeding. If nothing else, that puts the patient's mind more at ease.
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.

Thank you so much Ghost! My clinic has put me on Vivelle patches, so hopefully that will help!
