So my doc does progesterone tests 7dpIUI
1st IUI on 50mg clomid days 3-7 had one follicle the progesterone level was 38.54
2nd IUI on 100mg clomid days 4-8 had 8 follicles 4-5 mature the progesterone level was 56.45
3rd IUI on 100mg clomid days 5-9 had 7 follicles 2-3 mature the progesterone level was 27.39
So my question is should I be concerned that its lower this time? I thought it got higher with more follicles but this time it got lower. I think my doc said anything over 10 means I ovulated so I guess I did I just dont understand why it dropped this time. I am now 10dpIUI I am holding off to test till atleast Friday this week. Really hoping for a BFP seen too many BFNs

My doctor does progesterone level checks 7 day post IUI also. They have told me anything over 15 means you ovulated. I wouldn't be concerned because you know you ovulated either way whether the level was higher than last time or not. Your first two levels were way higher than mine ever were. Mine have been in the 20's every time.
I have had 3 failed IUI's. Good luck!
I've been very discouraged. I'm just 31 and he says I have no fertility issues. I just don't get why it is not working. I can't keep this up. I have an appointment today to try for a fourth time. If it doesn't work he wants to move on to injectibles but I just can't afford it. My insurance doesn't pay for any of it and everything has been out of pocket. It really is a stretch to do it this fourth time.
Good luck to you. Keep me posted.
I wanted to encourage you both to KEEP YOUR CHIN UP! I am currently on my 2ww on my 4th try. the first 3 cycles were unmedicated this forth was with the help of clomid. the average amount of time it takes to work is usually 4-6 tries so you are both way under the minimum. We have been doing this all completely out of pocket as well. Things have been tight at times but I have found that I have been willing to let things go that you to matter so much before this journey started for us. I wish you tons of luck with the stressful process and hope you remember that it will all be worth it the day you see that STUPID pee stick say "PREGNANT"
Wishing you lots of peace in the meantime!
I just wanted to offer my advice here. The out of pocket does truly suck and while my medical insurance is having me pay out of pocket for 6 cycles before they kick in any contribution, the plan that administers my meds does pay for the injections so I only have a copay. The last time they ordered extra meds and I did end up with my BFP but that ended in MC. Had that not ended in MC I would have donated my unopened meds back to the doctors office for patients who either don't have insurance coverage at all or their coverage does not cover those meds so check with you doctor to see if they have a program like that. Hang in there ladies!
