Hey, all!
I'm 2dp5dt in a natural FET cycle. My progesterone Saturday (1 day pre-transfer) and today was 18. The nurse said they like it to be above 15, so it's good. However, they want it to be better.

I'm currently on Endometrin suppositories 2X day. They're the flattened vitamin looking supps, not the waxy bullet ones.

The doc wants to add Prometrium 2X day.

I don't know why this has me so weirded out. What do y'all think about 18?

One week til beta!

What I CAN say is that I dont think that the level has THAT much to do w. whether or not you're PG, SO DONT FRET!! I'd say the more the merrier, I'd shove an extra up there for good measure.......

I'm with Renee, the number says nothing about being pregnant or not, and if they want the P4 higher well then just use more meds. I wish all of our problems would be resolved by "just add more" KWIM? Lol.

Hey Cookie --

Yes, for me my prog was 83 - they just like it to be high and has nothing to do with baby but the prog aids in the placenta making further on down the line - they like to give it a nice little push.

I am on the bullet supp 300 mg- 3 x day along with the prometrium 100 mg am and 200 mg at night - the pills are a piece of cake -- I think the only se for me is extra tired and "the girls" well by day 4dpo if I could have cut them off I would have but it's getting better.
GL and KUP!

Thanks for the reassurance, gals!

I guess so far this time I've had no prog symptoms and that has bothered me. I'm bloated (I hope...I can't gave gained this much weight but I didn't do stims!), but nothing else. No sore boobs. No extra tiredness. And since I started the prog, my typical ovulation gut symptoms have gone away. Weird. Is this me wishing I was constipated? Haha!

Justine - I thought I remembered 83. Then I thought maybe I made that up. You've given me a lofty goal!

I just took my first pill. The warnings say no driving (can make you sleepy) and don't take while pg (heh). Here we go!
