am I foolish for being optimistic?

Soooo..... For the past three cycles (one being our ectopic) I have had to take progesterone b/c my levels have been low. I know when an embryo implants it causes your progesterone to rise blah blah blah....

So I went for my BW at 7 days post IUI, my progesterones have been in the 3/4 range for the past 3 cycles..... The last cycle at 14 DP IUI and 2 weeks of progesterone my level was only 4 in change.

They called me yesterday, and i'm at a 10....the low level of normal, but still NORMAL!!

So ofcourse now i'm thinking (hoping) that maybe it means my levels are on the rise due to something having implanted. Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

I hope I am not setting myself up for a bigger let down Chat Icon Chat Icon

It's never bad to be hopeful and optimistic.

I hope that it means something as well Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

You should always be optimistic.

A level of 3 or 4 means you may have Oed, but a very weak O. A level of 10 just shows that you Oed. It's the lowest level they'd like to see to support a possible pregnancy.

Are you being medicated?

Do me a favor and never lose that optimism! This journey can drain you of so much. Hold on to something to keep you going!

I think that's a great sign by the way! Praying for you! Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon
