Well I am back on the baby train, and unfortunately experiencing fertility issues once again. This month, we did an IUI with letrozole and a trigger shot. This is the same method that had worked for us in the past. We have now gone through our second month of treatment and for the second month in a row, I have had low progesterone. I never had this previously. Last month when I had it, they gave me vaginal supplements. I didn't end up being pregnant. This month we decided to up the anti and try the IUI, but now with a 8.9 progesterone level indicating that I did ovulate but not high enough to support a pregnancy, I will have to do the supplements again. Which I will do, but I am devastated because I am sure that I will not become pregnant again this month. Trying to fight back the tears today, but I don't know how common this is for women. Has anyone had experience with this that may have more insight than me? Thanks for your help.

Re: Progesterone Help! (child mentioned)
Hello! Most of us are on some form of progesterone supplement once we start with IUIs - sometimes due to low progesterone levels, or other times out precaution. Sorry about the bummer news, but it doesn't mean you're out for sure. I've seen some ladies get BFPs with a low P level.
It still shows your old ticker . In case you haven't been on TB in a while, they changed how you update your siggy. You have to go to Preferences (the profile icon towards the top), and then Signature Settings.
