2WW Day 26 of cycle Day 8 post Embryo Transfer

Hiya Ladies :D

From Perth

Healthy 32 year old had my first IVF Embryo Transfer last friday the 30th September. IVF was chosen as my partner had his tubes tied 13 years ago, IVF being the best and highest chance for us to conceive.

Sitting on day eight impatiently. Blood tests resulted in a Estrogen count of 2600 and Progesterone count of 755.

Im currently on progesterone pessaries twice a day and 750 pregnal every 3 days.

Have been aimlessly searching online about level information to find if this is normal. The nurses at the clinic say its good but no further information.



Any ladies going/been through same and levels tested :D

Welcome. You might like to pop over to the LTTTC threads where the IVF ladies typically hang out or say hi in our general chatter thread for IVF'ers.

I can't help you with those levels - don't know much about estrogen and progesterone after EPU, sorry.

I don't know about the estrogen level - I've never been told mine, but the progesterone sounds promising. With a positive, progesterone of above 30 is considered good, and many women on crinone or pessaries will have somewhere between 30 and 100 with a bfp. My progesterone was something above 400 at 9 days past a five day transfer, which seemed very high compared to other people's levels I've seen. I'm assuming that you had a two or three day emby put back? I'm surprised you didn't get a hcg level as well with your results. Good luck!

Hi Kass,

At the start the nurses were not giving me any information. The only reason I know now is because I was researching online and came across people speaking about their levels as a way of monitoring. So I decided to ask nurses about it. Previous to that they just said everything was fine and continue to do what I do. I am a day 3 fresh transfer. All my ladies parts are in order, reason for IVF was my husband having the snip 13 years ago. I had my bloods done this morning and my levels have dropped :o my estrogen dropped to 7500 and progesterone dropped to 258. It would be safe to say that I have negative thoughts. My first post I was freaking, I thought my levels were high compared to other women. So I thought there was something wrong. Have tried to find out information about different levels to find hardly anything. Had seen other women posting progesterone of 30 or less, I thought it was no way it was the same measurement as mine, as im flying off the charts. I am on two pessaries currently and tonight the nurse told me to increase pregnal from 750 untis to 1500 units. My final BT is on friday. Hoping it goes well, either way I will cope no matter what the outcome. I walked into my marriage knowing that there was a difficulty and the possibility of never having a child. We just thought we would try so we dont sit there togther at 80 years old wondering if it would have worked.

It's hard to tell without a hcg level as well. A drop in progesterone usually isn't good, however it's possible that the pregnyl could be affecting your results. I'm not sure what effect it has on progesterone, but if you've been taking it once every three days it would make sense that your levels would rise and fall over that time. 258 is still very high - hope Fridays test goes well :goodluck:
