1st Beta

Had my first beta today. 481.  so that's good.  But my progesterone is 13 which is lower than my RE wants it to be so on top of the PIO I have to have shot into my ass everyday I get to start using Crinone twice a day.

Can I just say if you have never used it -- yuck -- it's disgusting.....but I will do whatever it takes.

I am also going to talk to the RE on Monday when I go back about my PIO.  When we did the IVF last year that resulted in us being pregnant with Cadynce I was on PIO, but it was in Ethyl Olelate, with the FET in Dec and this one it is in Sesame Oil so I really wonder if that might be affect the way my body absorbs it.  Especially since I had absolutely no issues with my progesterone in that pregnancy.  We shall see what they say and what my tests say Monday.

Hope you all have a great weekend.

Ali - fantastic hcg numbers, and hopefully the crinone can get the progesterone up. Im on 4 pessaries a day so I can sympathise with the yuckiness!
Hope monday shows an improvement.

Thinking of you, Ali! It sounds like you're doing great, but I hope the Crinone helps with the progesterone levels!

Congratulations! Fingers crossed for you.

BTW, I hate Crinone, too. But as you say, whatever it takes.

Yes - Crinone and I know each other all too well.

What a great beta!! I think the PIO and Crinone will compliment each other nicely. Don't worry about that progesterone, it's taken care of. Now take care of yourself!
