Should Progesterone and Estradiol Drop?

Should Progesterone and Estradiol Drop?

I just had my 2nd blood test post a 3 day fresh transfer.  In the past three days my beta increased from 186 to 534, but my progesterone and estradiol both dropped.  Progesterone went from 93 to 73.3 and estradiol went from 520 to 503.  Should I be concerned?  I'm 15 days post-transfer.  Thanks.

I'm honestly not sure what the levels should be after retrieval, since mine were never tested. Once the retreival was done, my RE basically said that the supplements will affect the blood results differently, depending on what you're on, and that as long as I took them as prescribed, there was no need to test. And today, I'm almost 14 weeks!!! But either way, your numbers are still pretty close to the original ones, so I'm sure all is OK!

Wishing you a happy, healthy nine months!

Thanks so much!  The nurse who called me with the blood results didn't seem concerned, and to tell you the truth I was so happy about the beta doubling that I didn't even notice the others had gone down until I checked them against Friday's numbers.  Here's hoping all is well....and with you too.  I've never gone 14 weeks--good for you!!!

My progesterone/estradiol levels were a little crazy too post-transfer.  My re's nurse said as long as they stayed above 20 then all was good (progesterone).  Honestly now that I think about it, I don't think they did only one estradiol test after my transfer.  In fact, the highest number I got on my progesterone level was 62 - most often it was in the upper 30's so I think you're doing just fine - congrats on your pregnancy!
