My beta came in at 14 at 16dpiui. My progesterone is at 8. A week ago I had progesterone at over 20. So they want me on progesterone supps like, NOW. I started the suppositories already (2x a day). And now I'm really kicking myself for not having the beta done on Saturday or yesterday so I could have known this earlier and taken progesterone supps earlier. I took a FRER hpt yesterday at 15dpiui and it was very very faint, so I kind of expected this, worrier that I am.
The nurse said we know that implantation and fertilization did occur though, and that's good. If the reason that the beta is so low is bc of progesterone, maybe the progesterone will help, at least that's what I am hoping. She said they have seen betas this low turn viable so we just don't know yet and that it can go either way.
We'll know Wednesday I after we see the next beta.

Oh my goodness....Congrats lady!! I have been stalking you like crazy the last few days and now I'm late to this.
I completely understand your caution and hesitation, though. I've got everything crossed that the progesterone supps work and we will be seeing a much higher beta in a few days!!
