For this IUI cycle they had me take pg vag gel rather than the POI. They could not give me a clear rationale for this difference in their IVF protocol and IUI protocol. Anyway, the stuff leaks out (sorry if TMI), and I was curious, so I asked them to take the level when they did the beta. It was 11. Given that I was not pg and was taking 8% pg gel, does that level sound right?

Thanks for any info :}

differently in the blood. However, I am not certain whether the gel is the one that does show up in your blood or doesn't. I am hoping that Pat will chime in here as I think she may know the answer.

Although I am not completely certain what P4 levels would be seen at the end of a cycle, I would guess that 11 is relatively high for the end of an unsuccessful cycle. So it does appear that the supplementation had an effect.

If I can find that information about the various supplementation, I will post again. I'm sorry that this cycle did not work for you.
