Question about Progesterone Pessaries

Hi Baby Dreamtime,

Thank you also for your response and kind words.
Very interesting about your FET, my last one which was HRT too was using 400g prog pessaries per day. With that one I never got an AF in the 2ww and knew it was a BFN on my Beta day. Then this fresh cycle I did exactly the same and started bleeding at 5dpt....that is why I am so baffled.

I will be interested to see what my next FET will involve. My Dr did talk about getting a HCG booster yesterday but it was too late when prog reaches 9 so maybe that will be an option for the next one. I don't know much about that...Have any of you had that??

What stage are you at in your cycle now Baby Dreamtime?? Best of luck...I hope you get your BFP.
Not sure what to do with thread you mentioned (sorry new to here)

Hi Jodz,

I have never had a prog test midway through the cycle, so I don't know what my levels are like, how frustrating for you, I don't know what else to suggest re getting you prog levels right and hope your FS can work something out.

My cycle is a bust, just had a day 10 scan this morning and I only have 3 follies around 18mm - 20mm with lots of little ones, so my FS has suggested converting to IUI, which I will go in for on Sat. I started this cycle on FSH75, and upped it to FSH100 after 5 days, but it seems still not enough. I have previously really over stimulated on FSH125, so I guess it is a fine line, but so frustrating.

Re the thread, there are lots of girls in posting in here in various stages, make sure you join in https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...ml#post1730671

Best of luck

Ooh Baby Dreamtime I am so sorry to hear things have gone a bit pear shaped for you this cycle. I know on my last fresh cycle we copied one from last year hoping it would do the same thing but everything went a bit crazy at the start and we had to slow down.
I have never done IUI....are there good odds for that??
Try and stay positive....I know it is hard. Good luck on Saturday.

Hi Infinity,

Thanks for your message, sorry to hear you are having such a hard time with progesterone too. Frustrating isn't it!

With your question about do I usually bleed before AF....sometimes but not always.
1st - I bled 4 days before beta, using crinone gel
2nd - no bleeding BFP then m/c, 200g prog
3rd - no bleeding BFP then m/c, 200g prog
4th - I started bleeding before m/c, on 400g prog
5th - FET no bleeding before beta, on 400g prog, BFN
6th - bleeding 5dp5dt, on 400g prog, BFN

While having a beta before my 2nd m/c they saw a dip in prog and I thought that may have been what caused the baby to m/c. After d&c they did tests on baby and found it had Trisomy 16 which showed that it was not the prog but rather it was not viable pregnancy which made me feel a bit better. (but I have always wondered if it was an underlying factor?)
I have had all the m/c tests, after my 2nd m/c I asked for them to check that there weren't other things happening that we hadn't thought about. All came back clear my husband and I, so besides our initial diagnosis PCOS and low sperm count with motility problems there is nothing else causing problems. Especially as nearly 4 years ago we conceived our daughter naturally there is evidence that we can get pregnant!!

But maybe there are other things to ask now with regards to this prog problem? I had heard about the 'up the bum' option but like you hadn't really thought about doing it. I will be interested to see what your FS says on Sat and I am can't wait for mine on Mon I have so many questions to ask. I will let you know how I go too. Good luck....all the best. (Sorry for essay too!)
