Is something wrong?

by Boopy561, Nov 08, 2007 11:46PM

Hello,

I was 16 days past ovulation and my HCG level was 240, progesterone was 29. (I have a 25 day cycle, and tested positive on the 24th day) I was very happy with my hormone levels on Tuesday, but today (Thursday)...my HCG went only to 428 and my progesterone dropped to 24. Should I be worried? I have my first OB appointment on November 20th, as that's when I will be 6 weeks.

I also have some mild pains.

Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated. My husband and I are leaving for our honeymoon to Aruba Saturday....and I'm afraid.

I think your HCG is fine because it's close to doubling. As far as your Progesterone, it's a hormone and I'm pretty sure that can fluctuate as any other hormone. I'd suggest getting a third count to rest your mind. I hope you get good news.

Good luck!!

Hi,
I do not think you should be worried but before leaving for an island I would call your Doc.
Good luck!!

Okay....HCG today went to 555 (a day later), but my progesterone dropped to 13.71. I think I have a lot to worry about now. Has anyone ever had this problem? Is there a chance it could go up again? I will not get to see the dr till my first appointment, at 6 weeks when the sac would be visable.

Should I be concerned of an ectopic pregnancy?

Thank you...
