I CAN, however, tell you how happy I am for you that you have chosen to ask. Many people wait and make uninformed decisions. I know I was one of those people. I am very happy with the support from these communities. The above answers seem genuine and that's all I've gotten from these forums is genuineness. So thank you for reaching out. I am struggling with my own questions. Keep going, and we're cheering you on. xx </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-supplementation#post-2748026 Thu, 15 Jun 2017 15:14:17 +0000 everbee 2748026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i was on 100mg 3x a day vaginally (morning/afternoon/evening and was instructed to take the morning ones before i went in for bloodwork) PLUS 200mg orally that i took in the evening right before bed because the oral ones made me super dizzy. i don't remember my numbers, but i know i didn't have low progesterone or any other issues, but have had two early miscarriages as well as a late loss as well. i think my dr was wanting to do everything to make this one stuck. but all the progesterone made me soooooooooooo tired......but i just dealt with it...anything for a sticky baby... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-supplementation#post-2747941 Thu, 15 Jun 2017 12:59:59 +0000 snarkybiochemist 2747941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was on 400mg vaginal repositories taken every night. My RE tested my levels in the early morning and depending on the nausea of the day determined if I had eaten. I was on the progesterone from 3 days post IUI until 10wks, my levels were always fine but I don't have any numbers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-supplementation#post-2747933 Thu, 15 Jun 2017 12:53:17 +0000 Dr. Pepper 2747933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1. I took 100 mg twice daily vaginally with my last pregnancy. My progesterone was 12.4 when that was prescribed. The pregnancy before that I took 50 mg nightly vaginally- that pregnancy ended as a blighted ovum. My progesterone was 11.7 when that was prescribed.</p> <p>Edited to add that the 11.7 was drawn at 4pm and the 12.4 was drawn at 11 am. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-supplementation#post-2747627 Wed, 14 Jun 2017 20:11:20 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2747627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1. 100mg 2x a day. I had to take it 12 hours apart. ETA it was a shot... I think that's still mg?</p> <p>2. Never heard anything like that. I always went first thing in the morning to get same day results though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-supplementation#post-2747623 Wed, 14 Jun 2017 20:07:39 +0000 DesertDreams88 2747623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1) What dose of progesterone were you on? I'm especially interested if anyone did more than 200mg.... I wonder if route affects the dosage drs prescribe? I currently take 200mg orally daily, one pill. I want to bump it up but think 400 mg might be too much. It makes me sleepy. </p> <p>2) Have any of your REs or OBs said that the time of testing can affect prog numbers? I found one website that said it's best to do in the morning fasting, otherwise your numbers can drop by 50% by the afternoon.... My recentl numbers were low (13.5 at 13 dpo) but they were at 12:30pm, not fasting. </p>
