elevated progesterone levels day before trigger?
hi all. i am wondering whether anyone has any experience of this at all please? my progesterone levels were tested yesterday and were 3.7nmol/L (equivalent to 1.16ng/L which I think are the units used in the US and in lots of the stuff i’ve been reading). I am due to trigger tonight. My clinic don’t seem concerned by these levels and say they would need to be 4nmol/L (1.25ng/L) before they considered a freeze all rather than fresh transfer, but from the reading i’ve done, it seems to be widely thought that even less elevated levels of progesterone can impact the success of a fresh transfer. has anyone experienced this? what were your levels? what did your clinic recommend? thank you! x

thank you. they only tested because a have a particularly big follicle which is a risk factor for elevated levels x
Never heard of an issue with raised progesterone levels I think it is usually raised estrogen levels that create a risk of OHSS and needing a freeze all.
My clinic tested the estrogen for egg retrieval. Due to my estrogen levels being high, i had a freeze all due to being at risk for OHSS. If your clinic is saying your levels are okay, then I would trust them.
raised progesterone at trigger can make your lining less receptive to implantation
My progesterone has been sky high for both my successful transfers

Alot of clinics don't even test progesterone for ec or transfer so I am sure if they were worried they would have said something to you.
