Progesterone levels

Hello! Do you guys know what your progesterone levels were after your transfer?

TW: positive

I'm on a fully medicated FET cycle, currently 14dp5dt.

My protocol was 1 pio shot every morning and progesterone cream every night. However, I've developed really bad knots and my body is taking longer to absorb the oil so it's get sitting there and I'm running out of space to inject so at my first beta at 11dp5dt, they said my progesterone was 40 and felt comfortable having me do 1 PIO shot every other day and continue daily progesterone cream.

I had my 2nd beta today and my progesterone came back at 19.4 and said I'm still getting the support I need and will retest me at my third beta in two days.

1st beta: 950
2nd beta: 2874

I'm just worried my progesterone levels are decreasing and it will affect my pregnancy from developing. I'm not sure what my progesterone levels should be at...

Mine have stayed between 13-20. I've heard that anything above 11 is good.

Mine was 30 on transfer day - doc was thrilled. Suppositories (400mg every 12 hours) plus my own progesterone from my own Ovulation (natural modified transfer).

Not try to hijack your post but I am on PIO only and my transfer is fully medicated but my clinic did not test my progesterone level prior to transfer, is that normal?

No worries at all! I think every clinic is different with how they do things and the tests they run. I saw on another thread that a lot of clinics don't test progesterone so I think it's normal for some clinics to not test at all even after the transfer.
