HCG LEVEL

[littlebutter]

I'm 5 weeks and 5 days and my HCG level is 1581 and progesterone is low.  Has anyone ever had low progesterone and have a healthy baby?  I am so scared.

Lots of people with low progesterone go on to have healthy babies.  Their dr usually prescribes a supplement to help until around 12 weeks along.  I was on progesterone suppositories twice a day for the first 12 weeks of my pregnancy, and am now 19 weeks.

Did your progesterone level increase with the supplements.  My dr just called in a prescribtion for me to take 3 times a day.  Where your HCG levels okay? Because mine is 1581 and I'm 5 weeks pregnant.

We only did my HCG levels twice, at the very beginning of my pregnancy, and they were doubling like they were supposed to.  After starting the progesterone, my dr ddin't take my progesterone level again, but I'm assuming it worked since my baby is doing okay.  My last pregnancy ended at about 9 weeks and I was not taking the progesterone then.

How many weeks were you when you started taking the supplement?

I had two miscarriages before I finally was given progesterone and then I had a baby girl!!!!  They DO help if you have low progesterone.  By the way, your HCG for 5 weeks is just fine!!

I know it's hard, but the supplements should help and you are early enough to have caught it.  Keep praying!

Thank you so much for the encouragement, I'm praying everyday.  I just started the Prometrium last night and I have to the pill three times a day, each pill is 100mg.    What week did you start taking the pill if you can remember?
