Hi
I had an embryo transfer a few days ago and was told that my progesterone levels were low (29) and am now taking injections (first one i did i think most of the liquid spilled out as I haven't taken injections in so long and it hurt a lot) and also taking progesterone seposatories..I know that its now a waiting game but wondered if anyone else had low progesterone levels and went on to be successful? Thanks

hi lovely
Just waiting to have my FET in the next couple of weeks
in terms of progesterone I was told:
under 15 - cancel
15-45 - extra progesterone
above 45 - ideal

no personal experience yet sorry, but at least you were on the higher end so with extra support you should be fine

wishing you lots of luck xx

Hiya, I had low progesterone levels during a couple of my transfers (can’t remember the exact numbers). On my last FET I was on 2 pessaries a day up to 16 weeks and an injection every third day up to 13 weeks for progesterone. My baby girl is now 4 months old! It’s good that they’ve identified your low levels now, and given you meds to address this. Fingers crossed for you, sending baby dust!

Thanks so much for sharing..and lovely to read positive stories..yes it's good they've identified it..I was worried that I messed up the injections theyre hard to do on yourself:( just a waiting game now:)
