Hearing the Heartbeat 6-4-08--Today we went back to the West Islip office for repeat blood work and a sonogram. We spoke to Dr. Pena about the lower progesterone rate and he didn't seem concerned. He said he would review my blood work today and see what happens. He said they might try to get me off the progesterone if the number stays the same. If it does, this might be our last visit. Today we got to heart the heartbeat with the vaginal ultrasound. It was amazing! The blood results showed that the progesterone level went down again to a 15.8. They will keep me as a patient one more week to see what happens with the progesterone level.
6-11-08-My progesterone level was 25! I "graduate" from the fertility doctor. So, they did keep me longer than usual because of my progesterone rate but it was well worth the wait. They want me to follow up with my regular OB. |
