Hi thread sisters.

Beta update its 92.5 so I am happy it doubled but progestrone is low...15.6 ...UUGGGHHH

Do you guys see a pattern with me, nothing comes easy..

Has anyone had a low prog. level like mine? How long did it take to get higher? What did you take to increase it?
What should a normal level be?

Barbara at one point my progesterone was 13 with this pregnancy and my little bean is doing great. We got to see him/her wiggling all around today on u/s. I talked with my RE and researched it a lot on line and it seems as long as you are over 10 it is ok they just like to keep it a little higher for us. They increased my PIO from 1cc to 1.5cc and it shot up to 26 by the next week.

92.5 is terriffic - Way more than double

Sounds like you have a healthy little bean in there
Hugs
Kimmy

Congrats on the Beta doubling!!! Can your RE give you additional progesterone suppositories?

Barbara - Yeah! That beta more than doubled. I don't know what to say about the progesterone, but I think if the RE were worried they would have advised you to up your PIO.

Thank you so much Kimmy for making me feel more relaxed...Aww I am glad that you saw your little bean today. Incredible right...

They did it up to 1.5cc and put me on Promentrium 2x a day.

Congratulations Barbara on your 2nd beta

With my second IVF, I too had a low progesterone and we added Prometrium. Just be prepared to be so exhausted with all your progesterone you are taking.

Praying for a great 3rd beta. Your DH must be thrilled.
