Hi Dr Sher, regarding your post, do you monitor P4 level in your IVF patients? During fresh egg transfer (ET), is there such thing as too high a level of this hormone that can cause implantation failure? Or is the more the merrier? Or is it always a too low a level that causes problem, rather than being too high? Thanks!

I am 9 weeks pregnant with a singleton after donor egg IVF. We have seen a strong HB 3 times and the fetus measures perfectly.

My protocol includes 100mg of Progesterone 5 x daily, 2mg of Estradiol 5 x daily, 1 application Crinone 8% gel vaginally nightly. My Progesterone levels have been >300 ng/ml and I am constantly sick. My RE wants me to remain on this protocol until 12 weeks, tapering off between weeks 12 - 15. However, my OB wants me to stop all oral meds now but stay on the Crinone until 10 weeks.

I am so torn as to what to do. Obviously I do not want to do anything that will compromise the pregnancy but I need some relief from being ill.
