If you are taking progesterone..

When did your doc start you on it?  I have my 1st appt on Thursday after a loss last month and am guessing they will decide based on my levels.

    I wasn't on it with my last pregnancy (and I had a miscarriage), I have no idea if that was related or not.

    This pregnancy, I went in for bloodwork at 3w5d and they took my prog. level and it was 20. I went back in at 4w5d and had another blood draw, and it had dropped to 13.4 so they started me on it RIGHT away. So basically, I started taking it at 4w6d.

    I started taking my progesterone on 11 DPO, but I was lucky enough to catch this pregnancy very early!

    I started mine at 4dpo and went up to a higher dosage after my first betas.

    My RE started me on progesterone 7dpo. I take 100mg three times a day and am supposed to take it until the end of July when I gradually come off of it.

    I started taking mine two days after IUI. (Or about 2 dpo).

    I got it after my 1st Beta because my P4 was 24 and they want 25+ so I'm on prometrium vaginal suppositories until 12 weeks.

    I'm sure I'm a little different since I did IVF, but I've been on progesterone (Endometrin) since my ET.  It's a vaginal suppository that I take 3x a day.  It's very gross, but much better than PIO shots, in my opinion.  I'm not sure how long I'll be on it, but I've heard through 8 weeks.  Good luck!

    I started taking it 3w5d. I took it for my pregnancy with DS, and was told to call as soon as I got a positive test, and they would start me on it again.  They didn't even check my level this time.

    I was on them from 3dpo in all of my cycles.  It was a must with my RE when using injectibles.  Good luck!

    I start at 3 dpo. Before starting that routine I was miscarrying by the time I got my positive hpt. Not everyone needs to start that early so don't freak out too much.
