XP: 3dpiui progesterone level...help!

I went in for my 3dpiui progesterone check today.  They like it to be 10 or higher.  In the past my levels have been around 15/16.  Today my level was 10.  I asked if I needed to start the Crinone because I had some left from a previous cycle when I wasn't able to come in on 3dpiui so they had me use it just to be proactive.  She said that my level falls into the range they like to see and my levels have been good in the past so I don't need to...but I can if I want to.

Ugh.  I wish she hadn't said that because now I don't know what to do.  I really don't want to use the Crinone every night for the next 2 weeks if I don't have to.  But I also don't want to hurt my chances of getting pregnant if this was going to be the cycle and my progesterone level is borderline low.

WWYD?

(This is the only progesterone check they do...I don't go back in until my beta on the 19th.)

  • Is the "she" in your post your doctor? (I'm assuming so.)  If it were me, I'd use the Crinone.  Otherwise I'd beat myself up for not doing everything I could if the cycle didn't work.  Good luck!
