Progesterone & Estrogen Tests before beta

I have had 3 blood draws since my 5dt. I am not 9dp5dt and still have until Friday for my beta.

Did any of you get your progesterone or estrogen tested before beta? How were your levels? I have unfortunately drove myself nuts with google tonight. My husband and I are going beta or bust.

Friday:
Progestrone: 200+
Estrogen: 1200+

Today:
Progesterone: 196
Estrogen >2,000

I have been taking estrace *2  and endometrin suppositories *3 daily.
Started ttc may 2012 Me:32. Dh:31 SA- 4% morphology Fsh:9.1 possibly not always ovulating Hysteroscopy/lLap 7/13 resulted in polyp removal, uterine septum, and mild endo stage 1 removed 10/13 IVF #1 successful

    I just had my progesterone and estrogen checked today from my 5dt on Friday (Beta is next Monday).

    They said my progesterone was "adequate" with my PIO shots and that my estrogen was only 48 so they are putting me on estrace twice a day.  I don't have anymore blood work until next Monday though. 

    What is worrying you on Google? I'm sure your doctor is keeping an eye on you.

    I had my 5dt on Saturday and I have been taking estrace two times per day since the day after retrieval and also taking PIO 1 mg IM at bedtime.  RE did not check my estrogen, but had my progesterone (p4) level checked today and it was 17.4. I've heard anything over 15 is enough to sustain a pregnancy, but not 100% sure about this. They will check my P4 weekly.

    I thought they looked for progesterone to be over 20 - so 200 sounds great to me!  Supplements can obviously alter your levels, but at least it says they're in there and working.  I had a friend doing progesterone shots after her IVF and the level came back less than 10.

    I think it's promising :)

    I had mine drawn once between ET & beta. It's just to make sure the levels are perfect, and so your doctor can adjust your doses if they're a little off. Try not to read into the numbers at this point... they're not an indication of much except for how you're doing on the meds. Good luck with the rest of your 2ww!!
