Progesterone Question
Hi All,
For those of you following my posts, I have had IVF and my Beta levels have been jumping up and down. I was told Friday that I was probably losing this one after my levels went from 148to 113. I was told to stop all meds. On Monday, my levels went to 278. The doctor does not want me to go back on progesterone (my progesterone level Monday from being off the meds for 2 days was 13). I called the dr today voiced my wish to continue taking it until my next blood test this coming Monday. He re-iterated that he did NOT want me to take it. He said basically if I am going to lose the baby or if it is an ectopic that he doesn't want me to prolong it. I stongly feel that I want to take it until we see the next results to be sure. My question to you is will it harm me to take it? Also, isn't low progesterone in itself a cause for miscarriage? Any information you have would be appreciated. I hate to not have full trust in my doctor, but my gut tells me to take the meds. Thanks, Nicole |

Hi marion,
I do not have any embryos left that could be frozen unfortunately. I am going to continue the progesterone. The dr has not ruled out ectopic, per se, but he thinks it is unlikely. I spoke to him again today and he said if I felt that strongly that I wanted to take it then it was OK. He just doesn't want me to help it along IF it is ectopic. I am prepared that this is not viable and my gut is telling me the same, but I just need to give it one more shot until next week. Thanks, Nicole |

It shouldn't cause you any harm to take it for another couple of weeks, aside from the emotional stress of continuing to wait and hope for a viable pregnancy. If it were me, I would want to at least give things the best chance possible by taking the progesterone. Sarah |

I hate to not have full trust in my doctor, but my gut tells me to take the meds. If I were you, I would be inclined to take the progesterone as well. What kind are you on? I was on injectible, and I actually had DH do a bit higher of a dosage because I kept having bleeding and was paranoid. Is it too early to do an ultrasound? I would think even if it's early, the doctor could at least see if it's ectopic or not.
