She only said that cause a nurse can't overrule a docs order. Sheprob has to review and notify him to see if he wants to change the regimen.
Hope its nothing to be concerned about. From what I've read, they say multiples, possibly a cyst, etc. I'm sure your fine.
 
So I'm having the opposite problem with my progesterone levels... My 21 day labs came back at 18.9 which my doctor is quite happy with. I'm worried it's too low. He told me any thing above 10 is good but from what I've read, most doctors like to see it at at least 20. Any thoughts?

Oh, and because I can't seem to help myself, I tested this morning at 8dpiui. Shockingly it was a bfn! Lol!!
 
I've heard progrsterone over 15 is fine, but docs vary on opinions. If you ovulate progesterone shows it and generally that can sustain a pregnancy unless it drops rapidly post day 21.
 
My Progesterone was an 16 when I found out I was pregnant.I didnt do a trigger though. GL
 
9 dpiui... Bfn. The one thing I can be happy about is that I found a dollar store that sells hpt's. So at least these bfn's are only costing me a $1 a piece!
 
chiles- progesterone should have nothing to do with the trigger. the trigger can cause pos pregnancy tests.

afm- going back for another progesterone tests monday. he wants me to wait to use the crinone. he was all wishy washy about whether i need to be supplementing. if it still comes back high with more than 24 hrs since id used the crinone.. im gonna reconsider using it. i mean 279 is quite a bit above 20

It's still early.
I tested negative with a beta blood test at 10 days post o and tested positive at 13 days post o.
Fxd for you!
:dust:
 
Agreed drsquid, and I don't see lack of supplementing dropping you into a dangerous terf for baby. Good luck, hope you get some answers soon. Ps if he's wishy washy then he's prob never seen that kind of number before.

I know that much, trust me I have read up on everything that happened to me ttc. But I ovulated on my own that cycle...so I probably just released 1. with the trigger majority of the time you release more than one follicle that will give you and indication of a higher progesterone level. Like one lady release 3 follicles and her progesterone was like 127, and another who released2 and her progesterone was like 52 neither was pregnant. Progesterone is definetly not and indication of pregnancy. But with a high P4 like that you def don't need supplements to abstain your pregnancy. Goodluck testing:flower:

L4hope - well I hope that everything gets sorted out for you so you can start by July 5th. Let me know how the appointment goes as soon as you know. :) Some girls on here told me that they felt pain during the procedure and all I can think is .. do they not have a good anesthesiologist. I better not feel anything or I will freak out. Period. I think people are freaking me out more than I need to be .. not on purpose or anything but just by reading how they reacted. Everyone is different though. My doctor said the ER is only 5-10 minutes long and then you're in recovery for an hour so the recovery is longer than the actual procedure.

Thanks Ash! I'll keep you posted. Hopefully we will both be on track for an august bfp!!

Hey Ash! My appt went pretty well this am. Everything is still a go for starting. I will start Lupron on Thursday night! :happydance: I'm soo ready to get this process going. You start Lupron on the 8th right? Shots, shots, and more shots here we come!
 
L4hope - Yay so happy to hear everything is going as planned and you're starting your Lupron on Thursday. Are you nervous? I wasn't nervous really until I got all of the meds in the mail and it was pretty overwhelming. I got this sense of nervousness but I know I'll be fine. It's just knowing that I have to give myself 3 shots a day that freaks me out. What is your protocol do you know? I'm on down regulation. I'm taking lupron, menopur and gonal F then ovidrel for the trigger and I'll be on a steroid after the retrieval to help with inflammation and also an antibiotic called doxycycline and then also I'll be on PIO (progesterone in oil shots). Best of luck and we're very close in cycles so we can hold each others hands through this process!

notoptimistic - yay more cycle buddies! Best of luck to you :) Do you know which protocol you're on?
 
I think it is called the lupron luteal protocol. It is the one where you go in on day 21 for a blood test to confirm ovulation, and then if you have ovulated you start giving yourself a lupron shot daily for 11 days, go in for an u/s on that 11th day, and if you are ready you add follistim and continue on lupron (lupron at a lower dose). (3 shots a day, 2 follistim and one lupron at that point) Then once you are ready you do the ovidrel shot. I won't be going in on day 21 to confirm ovulation though because as my doctor knows, I don't ovulate until day 22 at the earliest so there will be nothing to confirm if I were to go in day 21. Instead I am coming in on day 25 which will be July 16th. Also helps because I will be away in NY at a wedding that weekend. So on day 25 im sure the blood test will confirm ovulation so I expect to start lupron shots July 17th. I picked up all my drugs on Saturday (I didn't want them to mail them to me). The needles are making me so nervous. Can't look at them!
 
Ash, yes it's a little unnerving looking at all of the medications and thinking about all the shots. I had my injection training today with the nurse. Thankfully my hubby doesn't mind needles so he will be doing the shots! I'm not sure the protocol name. I start Lupron then once I get AF I'll have Lupron reduced and add Follistim and Menopur. I did ovidrel before to trigger for my iui's but for IVF it's a different hcg. I too will be on doxycycline after transfer along with estrogen patches and progesterone suppositories. They also suggested taking baby aspirin as studies have showed it helps reduce chance of early loss. Good luck to you too Ash! Even though it's scary, it's exciting too to think of the better odds we have with this process! Soon our bfp's will be here!!!

Notoptimistic good luck to you too! Another cycle buddy :)
