I had a retrieval ...4... 2 made it to transfer... 6 cell and an 8 cell.... 5 days later progesterone is 6.5... Isn't supposed to be 10 or higher. I'm nervous and just want to know...is this indicative of it NOT working? Do my drs know and don't want to tell me.... Uggh this is my 3 rd IVF and I only have One more try!!! I cannot believe how may women go through this process and let me tell you I get it! I feel OLD and sad and distraught and Devastated! I'm a teacher of students with autism and I always feel like they are My kids for the year.... but I would like to create the possibility of having my OWN baby...our OWN baby for a Lifetime!

We do not usually do progesterone levels after transfer because everyone is on a progesterone supplement. I hope you are and if it's vaginal it won't show up in your blood so your blood level is irrelevant and not an indicator of success.
