[emilia105]

so i went for my blood work this morning and the results are Beta HCG went up to 65.7 (from 16.6 on thursday) but Progesterone decreased to 4.7 (from 26.3 on thursday) ..... the doctor said this isn't good, i have to go back for another blood work on monday.  is there hope the progesterone will increase and i can still be pregnant? it's been almost 2 weeks since my egg transfer. Please let me know if anyone experienced decrease in progesterone to below 5 but was pregnant???

That's great news!!!! I started out taking one estradiol and a 1 mg dose of progesterone. Now I am at three estradiols and 1 1/2 mg dose of progesterone daily. Lucky you to avoid the dreaded progesterone shots. But I am not complaining because it is ALL worth it. I will take a shot the entire 9 months to ensure my baby is healthy. BTW: Make sure you let the doctor know when you need more meds so that he can get you ordered. It may be that you have more refills on your bottle and can call it in at your leisure. That's how the process works for me.

You could ask to be switched to progesteone in oil, which you take by a shot, some ladies respond better to that.  I would also tell them you are out of estrogen and need more.  Both of these help support pregnancy.  I know it is driving you crazy, I am sorry for that.  All you can do is stay on your meds and pray for the best.  It is out of your control.  It's a good sign the bleeding stopped, but there is just no way to know what the turn out will be.

Sending you hugs and Baby dust!!! And hoping like crazy you get good news on Monday

First thank you so much for responding to my post!!!!
my bleeding stopped last night which i was every excited about and thought it was a good sign.  I do take progesterone 200mg twice a day, I also take endometrin 100mg twice a day.  they also had me on Estradiol 2mg since the egg transfer and i took my last pill yesterday.  
They said to continue with my medication and didn't mention that they should increase progesterone.
I'm going out of my mind.

Btw...how is the bleeding?  Has it stopped??

Are you on progesterone?  If not, did he add it?  If not, I would demand they did....your beta went up :-).  It more then doubled, that is awesome!!  I guess the thing to remember is, it is out of your hands.  I pray you get fantastic news on monday!!!  Get on progesteone if you are not already on it!!!  If you are on it, did they increase your dose??
