Pregnant after IF

...knock, knock, knock...

Hey ladies!!  I'm cautiously coming over from IFV...had my second beta today and it doubled from Monday.  They scheduled me for my first ultrasound on August 29...I'm so anxious! 

I already have a question if you will indulge me :) :  My progesterone is at 158 and they said it only needs to be at 50 (apparently my ovaries are producing a good bit on their own).  So, they want me to reduce my PIO from 2 mL each night to 1 mL each night.  I'm nervous!  Has anyone ever done this??

Thank you!  I'm super excited to be over here!!!!!!

Stopped BCPs December 2008 TTC since June 2009 6 unsuccessful Clomid cycles Dx Annovulatory due to PCOS January 2010 DH-perfect 4 unsuccessful IUIs Began Lupron July 7 for first IVF IVF cancelled; overstimulation and coasting lead to huge drop in E2 New testing with an Endocrinologist...perhaps a new diagnosis... So, not PCOS but Hashimoto's Thyroiditis November 2010 After a looong break, started seeing a new RE. Gearing up for IVF 1.2. Beta 1=197!! BabyFruit Ticker image

  • Congrats on your BFP and betas!  & GL @ your u/s!

    I think it sounds like you'll be fine taking your P4 down a notch, amazing it's so high.  It could actually be much below 50 and you'd still be good.

  • congrats hun!

    My Progesterone level started off in the 200's after I got my BFP. They did the same and dialed me back gradually. I finally went off shots at 9 weeks, and suppositories at 11 weeks.

    Congrats again and welcome! :)

  • congrats!  The follistim worked for you too!  They tapered me down to half at the same time and all was well.  My next draws were 89 and 62, but still well above where they needed to be and they were really happy with that.

  • Congratulations!  Good luck with your first u/s!  That is some crazy high P4... I think you'll be just fine cutting it down.  I had to add in PIO and mine still just hovered around 20-25.  Obviously that was enough.  :)
