Progesterone Suppository Question

RRL2012

Sorry to be a PW today! I got my progesterone checked today and it came back normal at 13. However, "to be on the safe side," my RE is prescribing progesterone suppositories until about I'm about 8-10 weeks when they graduate me to the OB. Do you know if it's unusual to take this medication if you already have a normal level? I'm nervous that it will cause my normal level to increase to something abnormally high. Is there such a thing as "too high" progesterone and would it cause any adverse reactions? Just looking for some clarification. Thanks!

I took it and really had no need, as i did an unmedicated FET.

A little progesterone support is never a bad thing.

With supps, it really wont get that high, they dont work like PIO.

I'd have to say that you have nothing to worry about. They aim for you to be >25.  And I know that after a fresh ivf, my progesterone was over 100 and they said that was fabulous. So I really don't think it can be too high.

i have been taking progesterone since our IUI.  AFter my 1st beta, my progesterone was ">60" but doc wants me to continue.  so yeah, i guess high isn't something to worry about, though not 100% sure

You cant overdose on progesterone. Our re's are extra protective when it comes to progesterone levels. They want it higher, so it has some room if it drops...they dont want anything bad to happen because of low progesterone. They do it to be safe...

You can't have too much progesterone.  Although, I would think you'd have more symptoms (tiredness, etc) with higher levels.
