Trouble TTC

Does anyone know much do progesterone suppositories increase blood levels?

Hello:

I just got my progesterone 7DPO blood level and it came in at 43 (I'm super excited since last cycle it was only 13). Of course this caused me to do an extensive search on google regarding how much the suppositories (I'm taking 2x a day) actually influence your blood level amount and I'm of course finding that some say it does and some say it doesn't, but the oral pills can increase your blood level. Does anyone have any info on this, also what was your progesterone level 7DPO if your RE tests you for this?

Thanks!!!!

Me: 33, DH: 32

TTC: 2 years
Fertility blood tests all normal
Tilted uterus
3 day ultrasound 17 follicles
HSG: 11/13/13- tubes open
DH SA: SUPER sperm (145 million, 84% motility, 22% morphology)
All infection disease and immunity blood tests NORMAL

FIRST IUI May 2014: 100 mg Clomid days 5-9, third ultrasound CD 13 revealed four follicles 27, 24 and 20 and 13mm. Trigger shot May 28 with IUI May 29 and 30 (fingers crossed) - BFN started spotting 11DPO :(

IUI #2 B2B 6/23 and 6/24, three mature eggs and 130 million sperm! FX this is the month!  BFN 7/8

3rd cycle benched due to cysts - TI with OPK tests -  BFN

3rd mediated cycle: Clomid+Trigger+TI  (three follies left side, one on right as usual....what the hell right ovary get it together and produce some damn follicles!) 7DPO progesterone level 43 with NO suppositories YAY for a natural strong ovulation. Beta canceled started spotting 13DPO - Third time is not a CHARM! 14 day cycle WTF! Everything looks normal - RE wants to start injectables next cycle so this cycle I'm benched

Officially benched until March....but still plan on trying the baking soda douche due to my excessive and thick CM

  • I honestly am not positive but I heard the suppositories don't increase it. I'm curious what others have to say. Good luck!
    Fucking bump!!!!
