progesterone levels going down

[Guest guest]

Good Luck with the everything. I hope those levels go up and stay up, I had

to sue the suppositories too. I have never tried it in pill form but my guess

is they are not as good after bypass either.

Hi ya'll,

OK.....I am currently 8 wks. 5 days preggo. All is well. We have seen

the baby and the heartbeat twice now.....however, my progesterone

level was taken last week and it was down to 13. The previous week it

was 19. They had started me on progesterone suppositories when they

first found out I was preg. My levels then were 11. After doing the

supp. for a week, the levels went up to 19. Then then told me to stop

the supp and just take the progesterone pills.....so I

did......well.....they must not work as well cuz my levels dropped to

13....so now they say to start the suppos again....ggeez......so I

have....now I go in tomorrow for lab work for progest levels

again.....I have read that the suppos. are the BEST way to take

progest.....and then the injections next and then the pills are least

effective......plus with us being bypass patients.....I would doubt

the pills would even be absorbed at all....anyone know about this?

Anyway, I am back using the suppos twice a day...morning and

night....icckk....I hate them but hey....I will use them if it

protects my little angel......so.....I'm hanging in there.....should

have results from my progest levels tomorrow.....wish me luck.......

I used the pill form during 2 pregnancies since RNY surgery. I did just fine.

I have also heard that suppositories are better, but pills also work. maybe

it depends on your system.

Good luck with the results of the blood work tomorrow.

I stayed on the progesterone gel constantly until my 14th week.. My

doc was concerned about doing the pills because I had the WLS.. and

with the gel, there was no way it couldn't be malabsorbed..

Here's hoping the suppositories do the trick!!! Let us know!
