Progesterone Levels

[Kricket212]

Does anyone know what there Progesterone levels are? (mine is 17) I was just told to increase again to 1ML a day (injection) as I already take the inserts 3 x's a day.  My head is really POUNDING.  I am not sure if my body is not making enough or maybe they see something else in my beta #'s that they are not ready to tell me yet. I have also been told to increase my estrace to 2 tablets 2x a day (total 4)
Oponions??? Help ladies.....??????

Did you do IVF?

Generally, 17 is a good progesterone number, but I'm guessing they want to increase yours since you're doing IVF. Also, your levels "down there" could actually be much higher than your blood test shows, since the inserts you're on basically delivers the hormones right where it's needed, without having to go through the whole blood system first.

My hormone levels were actually never tested after transfer. My RE basically said that as long as I took all the meds as directed, my levels should be more than sufficient for implantation. So I have no idea what my numbers were...

Just FYI, I was on two prometrium pills a day (orally) and one crinone gel (vaginally). I also used an estrogen patch that I changed every 3 days.

Best of luck to you! When is your beta?
