Bleeding 2 days post FET, VERY low progesterone

Hey, I wondered if anyone has had a similar experience or advice:

I had my FET on Thursday. Due to bleeding early following my fresh transfer earlier this year, I asked to have my progesterone tested. This was done the same day as the transfer, so I didn't get the result until yesyerday afternoon (screw up with clinic...don't get me started!)

Progesterone came back at 7nmol/l. The consultant said it was VERY low, and has prescribed IM injections. Thing is, they won't be here until Monday (even though promises a Sat delivery) and I started spotting this morning.

Is this it!? The consultant seemed to think I didn't need to worry and that low progesterone doesn't necessarily mean anything. Common sense and the spotting seem to be suggesting otherwise!!!

Just go update this one too: after 4 days on the injections, my levels rose from 7 to 119. I got a BFP this morning (4 days later) 😊 So don't worry if you don't get progesterone injections until after transfer. Early days though so of course not sure if this will affect the development. 🤞🤞

Hi @PineappleC, I wonder if you’re still there. I’m wondering how you got on and so relieved to hear you got a BFP after low progesterone levels.

I had a battle to get mine done and long story short I had them done 2 days post transfer and they back as 48nmol/l, so whilst higher than yours on day of transfer I am concerned that they may have not been above 20 on day of fet which is what I understand they like them to be…

The clinic have come back and said they are happy with them, but if I want to start lubion they will prescribe if it helps offer me reassurance. I just want to know clinically do I need to be on it though?!
