Low progesterone and HCG after IVF

[closephine85]

I'm 15dpo in normal terms and 10dp5dt in IVF/FET speak. I had some spotting on Tuesday/Wednesday which I think must have been implantation bleeding followed by very very light brown discharge in the days since. In the absence of my period yesterday I took a test and it was a faint positive. I took another two this morning - first response and clear blue digi - first response was slightly darker and clear blue was pregnant 1-2. I went for a blood test and the HCG came back at just 9 and my progesterone a pitiful 13.5.... I've been advised to start taking progesterone and also been given some HCG injections. I then have to go back for another blood test Wednesday.

This all feels so pointless. I just did another test this afternoon prior to my HCG injection and it's similar, possibly fainter than the one I took yesterday afternoon and definitely not as dark as this mornings.

I'm sure I'm just prolonging the inevitable. Be honest with me... there really is very little hope (if any) here isn't there?

P.s. My boobs were sore until this morning and much much less so now

Thanks, I have to step away from the tests now anyway as the hcg injections are going to affect them anyway! I think if the hcg was low but the progesterone was normal I would have felt more hopeful. But I feel like theblow progesterone signifies that my body has given up on it!

Just remember that this afternoon's test will be fainter than this morning's due to the urine concentration. Take another tomorrow morning if need be, or wait a few days to retest.

Congratulations on your pregnancy though :) I hope everything picks up for you
