I've got one week left of my 2ww, not feeling very positive at all. Not feeling anything, I have no pregnancy signs at all.
Still have the sore throat and the bad cough though.
And you should see the bruises from the Clexane injections. Ouch.
Rang lab and had to cancel my NK Cell test : ( cause of the bad cold I caught.
I had asked my clinic to have a blood test for my progesterone levels. So on 30th December, 7 days after ovulation 4 days after transfer my levels were 41.
SO is that good or average. My clinic said it was good. I have no idea whats good as this is the first time I asked for this test.
Some help from you ladies with regards to Progesterone levels would be greatly appreciated.

I am not in my 2ww but remember the feelings VIVIDLY so I am here to give you some support
I dont remember having my progesterone levels tested so i am not sure what that means... hopefully one of the other girls will be along soon with an opinion.
I would not worry about not having signs of preg. AT ALL. I had none either except a stabbing pain on my left side which I was sure was a sign of impending AF. Symptoms and signs dont mean a thing. All that counts is that bfp on a blood test.
Hi Danyelle, it was standard practice for my clinic to check my progesterone levels several times in the TWW. I was on injections through my IUIs and Progesterone pesseries through IVF. My clinic told me that anything over 30 is good but the usually liked to see me a little higher. Through out my IVF cycles my prog always seem to come in around 60-80. We finally got our BFP in October and I didn't really have any symptoms either until the very end. I didn't suffer nausea till week 8 and my first symptom was when my boobs started to ache about a day before my period was due. Good luck with everything. My fingers are crossed for you. Try to stay positive as everyone is different and no symptoms does not necessarily mean things aren't working.
I went for another Progesterone Blood test today, I am 11 days after ovulation and P4 level is 61 so that's a good sign its going up .
My clinic doesn't do any blood test in the 2ww until your pregnancy blood test.
I asked them could I do the test as I have been sick again with some sort of flu (this is the 3rd time I have got the flu mid cycle) and I was feeling a little down, thinking that it won't work again.
Plus my cycle wasn't doing anything on the Puregon so mid cycle they switched my meds and put me on Progynova 3 times a day and the Progesterone Pessaries Morning and Night.
The reason I mentioned the Non Pregnancy symptons is that on all my previous cycles which I used the Puregon and then the Pregnyl 5000 as Trigger and 3 x Pregnyl 1500 follow up injections, I had the common pregnancy symptons, mild cramping, bigger boobs, sore boobs etc.
I went back through my paperwork today and I was looking at my test results from my Last fresh IVF Cycle that ended in Bio Chemical BFN and my Beta HCG Level was 7 and my P4 was 26 .
I do have an ache in my chest but I'm putting that down to all the coughing that I have been doing at night.
Also congratulations on your BFP, you must be so excited. All the best for a happy and healthy pregnancy for you.
Thanks again for your help.

Dayelle - great to hear that your prog is going up. Looks like your body is doing the right thing, plus the pesseries will definitely help. By the sounds of the symptoms you have had on previous cycles it was probably the injections. I found I didn't get and preg type symptoms on the pesseries (which was good because it doesn't confuse the situation).
I had a chemical preg on my first IVF stim - HCG reading got to 24. I figure that maybe it was nautures way of letting me know that this one wasn't meant to be. Fx that this little embie is the one that sticks this time round.
Take care of your self and I hope you get rid of this flu thing qickly.
