Hi all, just wondering if anyone could tell me what their P4 BT results were when they got their BFP?
Im 14 dpo today and got a HCG of 127 but a very low P4 of only 24 :(
Im not feeling positive about it at all and Dr google of other forums is not helping :(
Cheers
Congrats on the BFP :hug:. When I was 14DPO with DD1, my hcg was 56 and p4 was 26. I was supplemented with P4 and it went down to 24 at 16 DPO, then every 2 days up to 28, 30, 44, 60-something?, into the 100's. So yes it can take a while to get going. Are you being supplemented? Congrats again.
Edit: I see you bumped my old post. My figures were slightly off but it was mid-high 20's. DD1 is fine now.
Loula : oh my ! When I saw your name as the op I thought it's not : and it is
Congratulations on the great hcg Hun, what supplements are you taking ? Can u up them ?
Mi P4 won't be relevant as I was on Pio injections
Call me tommorow if you can xx
that's such awesome news!!!
mega congratulations :D
:happydance:
Thanks for the replies I started 200mg of pessaries last night. All I have been reading does not sound positive. ESP with such low p4. Time will tell :(
Congrats Loula! Hang in there, it's not over yet :hug: I hope it's smooth sailing from here
Lou have you looked into foods that can help? I know there are plenty out there and it might be worth adding a few to your diet... just do a google search :)
xx
Tanya, I just saw your siggy changed in the last day or two, congrats!!!
Just to update I had another bt yesterday. HCG 308 and P4 is now 65.4 (on 3 pessaries a day) so they have both increased but both sill on the lower side I guess as they have only doubled in 64 hours or so. Still the HCG is better than when I was pg with ds and I guess I know more than anyone this can go either way. I'm not allowing myself to get excited or attached yet.
I think your P4 is great now! At least that is not a worry (though I know from experience that doesn't stop us from worrying). Your beta's aren't doubling every 48 hours but about 15% of healthy pregnancies don't. Beta base shows a healthy pregnancy at your beta levels doubling every 193.12 hours. So there is hope, though I understand why you are so hesitant. I hope you cope OK over the coming weeks.
Loula- congratuations on your BFP! I hope its a sticky one.
Mine aren't success stories but just an idea of levels-
My first ivf I got a bhcg of ~200 with a Prog of 36 ( crinone x1/d)- was spotting at BT, m/c a few days later
My last Bfp I was a bhcg of 150 and a prog of 140 (pessaries x1/d) , eventually m/c at 8wks
I think your rise in levels are sounding tentatively promising, esp if you have no spotting. Hope the next few weeks fly by and your little one stay sticky xx
That's good Loula! :pray:
Just to update my P4 is still playing silly buggers! HCG is now 120492 at 6 weeks and although P4 was at 90 something it is now just 80. I'm still on pessaries (3 a day) and getting a scan today. I was booked with my clinic to get a scan on Wednesday but started bleeding yesterday
I'm sorry to hear about the bleeding but I hope it's just a small amount and will go away soon.
Hugs and thinking of you. Good luck with the scan.
I'll be thinking of you today, good luck for your scan. :grouphug:
All the best for your scan! :hug:
Scan showed a small sac and a HB of 99. Still early days and still spotting. Thank you x
Wishing you all the best Loula!
Thinking of you and praying everything works out xx
Just to update. I have so far made it to 10 weeks. I'm still taking pessaries and was wondering when others stopped?
I also picked my son up today and felt a big tear across my stomach so am a little worried about that as its still hurting (I've gone back to bed)

wow- great news Loula- I can't answer your question as I have never gone past 8/9 weeks, but hopefully someone else will know.
Congratulations and good luck for the next 30 weeks!
I stopped P4 at 8 weeks. I also felt that big tear across my tummy (such a weird feeling!) a few days before my 12 week scan. All was fine. If it makes you feel any more reassured, I did find a scientific journal article about the cessation of P4... and after about 8 weeks there is no difference in miscarriage rate regardless of whether you are on P4 or not. Congrats on making it to 10 weeks and I hope you see a beautiful little bub kicking away at your 12/13 week scan.
Thanks both for your replies. Pg after ltttc still sucks! But I have an amazing support network, here and IRL x

Oh I also forgot to ask. When you stopped P4 did you wean off or stop all of a sudden?? Thanks

I was on pessaries until I was 10 weeks with both DD and the twins and then went cold turkey....
Cold turkey.
I hope the spotting stops, and that bub continues to stick. Thinking of you x
From what I understand there is not point continuing beyond the 12th week :)
Xx
I've been on 200mg (2 x pessaries) nightly of P4 since about week 5 as I had continual light bleeding and spotting, which continued for approx 3 weeks after I started P4.
I was told I could stop using the pessaries at the end of week 12, and as of approx 5 days ago, I decided to only use 100mg nightly. Now I'm down to the last week, I'm going to not use it tonight and prob Wed night. My acupuncturist/naturopath told me to wean, not go cold turkey. My GP didn't offer any advice re: weaning.
I also understand there's not much point using P4 beyond Week 12 as the placenta should be producing all you need.
Congrats on your pregnancy :)
Thanks. My fs said 12 weeks but my ob said 10 so I was just wondering. I knew the placenta took over by week 12. I've just had a scrip fill so will finish that as its so bloody $$$$ but have dropped to two a day, one morning, one night :)

I think i started weaning off the pessaries at 10 weeks, finished by 12 (or something like that)
it's so nice not to be using them!
Hope you're keeping well
Hey, it's better than Crinone. That stuff is the pits!:
I stopped PIO at 8 weeks 6 days cold turkey
