Estrogen and Progesterone Test Results

On Wednesday morning (the end of 4 days post 5 day transfer - 4dp5dt) I headed back to Dr. K's office for a blood draw to check my estrogen and progesterone levels just to make sure they don't need to adjust my medication levels.  A few hours later I got a call from the nurse and she said that everything looks great!  My estrogen level was 922 and they were looking for a level of 150 or higher.  My progesterone level was 42 and they were looking for 30 or higher.  I was curious if my levels were so much higher because of pregnancy or if that is just what happens when you are on daily hormone injections.  When I Googled it I did find one research report that stated estrogen and progesterone levels post FET do not correlate with successful pregnancy.  Oh well...

Interesting... Well the important thing is that the levels are more than high enough to sustain a pregnancy. I am praying for VERY positive beta numbers!! :-)
