I haven't been on here in so long (took a mental health break from it all). Just had my 5th IUI (1st time w/injectables). Went for bloodwork on Wednesday and it's positive! However, my HcG level was 28, which is low. Went back on Friday and HcG went up to 84! BUT my progesterone dropped to 14 (was 16). Now it's a waiting game until Monday. Any success stories for people who've had these low numbers? I'm terrified it won't work out...

I had/have low progesterone and am still on injections (good times)... Your HCG doubled though, which is what they look at. They want it to double every 48 hours. By now you've had your appt., so I hope it was good news! FX for a smooth 9 months!

Re: Low HcG and progesterone?!
Can't relate because I've never had IUI but I did have low progesterone and was able to get a prescription. Hope you got some good news. Good luck
