Hi Peter

Shortly after my last post to you, I started bleeding (heavily) and my beta came back negative.

While I understand that you can bleed and still be pregnant, a nurse made a comment to me that it normally wouldn't be a heavy bleed - is this accurate? She made a comment that I would likely need a double dose of PIO with my next cycle.

So here are my questions:

1. Could the lack of progesterone have affected/interferred with implantation?

2. If the double my dose in the future - is there any way to monitor if it is enough - or is really just a crap shoot?

Thanks again in advance!

Hi Peter

I am sorry to hear this

Not really, it varies from person to person


She made a comment that I would likely need a double dose of PIO with my next cycle.

Unless this comment is based on measured progesterone levels it is not a very useful comment.

So here are my questions:

1. Could the lack of progesterone have affected/interferred with implantation?

Possibly but there are so many variables it is difficult to point the finger at one.

2. If the double my dose in the future - is there any way to monitor if it is enough - or is really just a crap shoot?

If there is a concern that your progesterone levels are too low then they should be monitored by blood tests. There is no need to guess on this subject.

Good luck!

Peter
