I didn't use them, but actually that was one of the reasons WHY my RE didn't want me to use them. (I did injections instead.) Doesn't mean it's not getting abosorbed into your uterus, where it's needed, just that the blood levels aren't necessarily an accurate reflection.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14504655919861269088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3456741774915603327.post-79666553674597925632008-06-04T14:14:00.000-04:002008-06-04T14:14:00.000-04:00I'm not sure about the progesterone level thing (i...I'm not sure about the progesterone level thing (it could have something to do with the suppositories, maybe?). All I know is that progesterone levels themselves don't really give a reading on whether the pregnancy is going to be successful.

The thing to focus on is that it went up, and pretty close to the mark.<BR/><BR/>We got a sonogram at 5w5d and it looked like a tiny lifesaver and a teeny jelly bean. We didn't see the heartbeat til 7w5d.Ann M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07450730528995565892noreply@blogger.com
