My progesterone level is at 71 when tested and even so, the Dr ordered 2 progesterone injections for me during my 1st IVF cycle (which failed), to bring it up. For the upcoming 2nd cycle, I am mindful that there will not be any boost by injections, and it depends on the natural level of the body. I have asked my Dr if there are any way to boost the levels and he said none. I did an internet search and this was what was claimed to increase progesterone level naturally:
Food
Walnuts, Cherries, Chicken, Red Meat, Whole Grains, Chasteberry
Vitamins
Zinc, magnesium, Vitamin B6 and Vitamin C, Beta Carotene, Vitamin E (only 150 IU, additional dose may decrease progesterone instead)
Wondering if anyone could share on suitable diet or supplements to enhance progesterone level.
Actually I was prescribed Utrogestan (progesterone) to be inserted through the vagina. However, the soft capsule keeps popping out or dripping, even when I lay down on bed for an hour each time. I told my Dr and he merely said that excess would be discharged by body. I felt that too much came out and very little stayed in my body and thus my low progesterone level. Thus, I am looking for any natural way, to up the chances, if any.
Thank you.
