BFP-Low progesterone

YEA, I just got the call my HCG is 67.7!!!!!  Bad news is my progesterone has dropped to 7, it was 12.5. They are starting me on the p in oil shots. Anything for the baby though!!! Any suggestions for minimizing the reaction at the injection level??

Oh that's great congrats on your BFP!  My progesterone is also low...8.26 not sure what it was when I went back on Wednesday though.  They put me on suppositories 3 x a day.  I don't really know much about the shots.  How far along are you?

Hi Ashort,

I guess I would be around 4 weeks. I had an allergic reaction to the suppositories so they switched me to the capsules that go in the va-j-j- :-) Now I will do both, capsules and shots, but anything for this baby!! I know oyu know exactly what I mean. I am still dizzy I can't believe it!!!!

Thank you again and keep me posted on your levels!
