Ovulation after medicated FET and low Progesterone levels

[ezzie84]

Hi everyone,

I have two questions.

Firstly, does anyone know how to calculate your ovulation date for a HRT FET? It was my first one and I have no idea.

Also, I had my ET on the 1st of June. Went for blood test on the 14th of June. Do we count ET day as day one? I am just desperately trying to compare my HCG and Progesterone levels which I feel are low and I am anxious for some stories... Positive or negative. I like to be informed.

ET was 1 June (two five day blasties were put back in)
BT on 14 June - Progesterone was 21.4 HCG 266
BT on 17 June Progesterone was 30.1 HCG 900

Has anyone had these low numbers before and been successful? Are these numbers low?

fingers crossed I can get some advice...

oh dear just read title and realised I wrote it wrong. Meant to ask ovulation before FET... Sorry for confusion.

Hi Ezzie. A medicated fet your prog will always be lower as you are not producing it yourself. It's a good sign that it picked up. Your hcg is nice and strong. Has your fs upped your prog? There are many ways to increase your prog and some work better for some people than others. There are pills pessaries and injection. As long as it stays over 20 it should sustain a preg but they usually like to give you extra support to keep it up higher. Goodluck. I'm sure you will be ok x

Hi there yep they have upped it to five pessaries a day plus I saw a hormone naturopath who has given me progesterone cream to rub into certain parts of my body twice a day. I am very anxious about it all. Probably would be worrying about something else if it wasn't my levels.

Your hcg is really strong so try not to worry

thanks for your help ladies...

Still can't relax at all. I know it's a natural thing for us IVF'ers to feel this anxious.

Has anyone else had levels similar to mine?
