Hi everyone,

Well I'm finally pregnant 4 years since starting my donor search. Took 2 years to find a donor I was comfortable with then 1 year of AI and then had to change to IVF and clinic donor in Feb this year. Finally got my good news last week but my progesterone levels are low.

Last weeks results:
Progesterone - 56
HCG - 192

I was then put on progesterone pressaries twice a day and progesterone injections once a day. Was initially told I will need to be on them for 10 weeks (at a cost of $210 a week) but yesterday I was told I will only need to be on them until 10 weeks of pregnancy - so only another 5 weeks now... thank god as I was worried where I was going to get the rest of the money since I already borrowed so much for 4 IVF attempts.

Anyway my results yesterday were:
Progesterone - 92
HCG - over 3,400 (can't remember the last two digits).

Does anyone know what the progesterone should be? Is it meant to increase like HCG? My IVF clinic aren't great at answering questions (always make you feel stupid for asking).

Egg pickup (ovulation) was the 6th Dec. So yesterday I was 23 days post ovulation.

Thanks
Lori
