What is the Optimal Progesterone Level a Day Before Embryo Transfer?

For a Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) , the ideal serum progesterone level one day before embryo transfer depends on whether progesterone is given via injections, vaginal tablets, or both. 📌 Ideal Progesterone Levels (One Day Before Embryo Transfer) ✅ Above 10 ng/mL (30-40 nmol/L) if taking progesterone injections . ✅ Above 10-15 ng/mL (30-50 nmol/L) if using vaginal progesterone (Susten 400mg). ✅ Below 1.5 ng/mL (5 nmol/L) before starting progesterone – If progesterone was not started at the right time, high levels before transfer might indicate early exposure, which can affect implantation. 🚨 Why Is Progesterone Important? ✔ Supports endometrial receptivity – Ensures the lining is ready for implantation. ✔ Reduces uterine contractions – Prevents early embryo dislodgment. ✔ Prepares for pregnancy maintenance – Prevents early miscarriage risk. 📌 What If Progesterone Is Low Today? 🔹 Below 10 ng/mL? – Doctor may increase progesterone injection dosage or add vagina...

How Long Does it Take for a Day 5 (Blastocyst) Embryo to Implant?

Implantation timing depends on the stage of the blastocyst at the time of transfer. Here’s a general guideline: Approximate Timeline for Blastocyst Implantation Blastocyst Stage at Transfer Implantation Timing Days Post Transfer (DPT) Day 5 Blastocyst (Expanded or Hatching) 24–48 hours 1–2 Days Post Transfer (DPT) Day 6 Blastocyst (Hatching/Expanded) 12–24 hours Same Day or 1 Day Post Transfer (DPT) Since your blastocyst was transferred at 12 PM , implantation typically occurs: ✅ Between 1–2 days post-transfer for a Day 5 blastocyst (approx. next day 12 PM to 48 hours later ). ✅ Within 12–24 hours for a Day 6 blastocyst (possibly even same evening or next morning ). Key Factors Affecting Implantation Timing Endometrial Receptivity (thickness, progesterone levels). Blastocyst Quality (grading, hatching status). Uterine Environment (blood flow, inflammation). Signs of Implantation (2-5 Days Post Transfer) 🔹 Light spotting (implantation bleeding). 🔹 Mild cram...

Hormone Levels to Check Before Embryo Transfer for Successful Implantation

Before an embryo transfer , several hormone levels should be checked to ensure the best chances of implantation and a successful pregnancy. The key hormones to assess include: 1. Estradiol (E2) - Estrogen Role: Ensures the endometrium is thick and receptive . Recommended range: Fresh cycle (after egg retrieval, before transfer): 2000–4000 pg/mL Frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycle (before progesterone starts): 200–350 pg/mL Low E2 (<150 pg/mL) may indicate poor endometrial development. Very high E2 (>5000 pg/mL) may indicate ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), which can reduce implantation success. 2. Progesterone (P4) - Luteal Support Role: Ensures the endometrium is mature and ready for implantation. Recommended range: Before embryo transfer in FET cycles: <1.5 ng/mL before starting progesterone supplementation. During the luteal phase (post-transfer, on supplementation): Fresh cycle: >10 ng/mL (ideally 15–20 ng/mL ). Frozen cycle (on ...
