Started Spotting After Embryo Transfer During IVF. Progesterone Level Less, Switched To PIO Shots. Any Hope For Positive Result?
Hi I did my 4th IVF and transferred 3 embies, i am on day 5 post the 5 day transfer and have some spotting. I am on Crinone 8% once a day and have started spotting. My blood work indicates that the progesterone is only 3. I have been asked to switch to PIO shots. Please let me know if there is any hope left.

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Don't worry about progesterone levels. Crinone gel is expected to work locally & may not raise serum progesterone levels. So even if your blood progesterone is low, uterus is receiving adequate progesterone.
Hope you find this helpful.
Regards.
