High Progesterone levels

by steffie, Feb 08, 2004 12:00AM

I am 7 weeks pregnant now and a bit confused. I had a blood test done for progesterone and hcg on 1/26 with levels of 70 and 970 respectively, and at this point I was just 5 weeks pregnant. I again had blood work done on 1/30 and hcg came back 4350. The office called to schedule an ultrasound for tomorrow. I am a bit concerned about the progesterone level however. I seems incredibly high for this point in my pregnancy. I am very nervous because I miscarried in Sept, however at my doctors visit 1/29 he did not seem concerned about the high progesterone level. In your experience what does a progesterone level such as this indicate?

Could indicate multiple pregnancy!

Actually, I shouldn't have posted that so quickly.  It may not mean that.  I was just searching a bit more, and found some things that said high progesterone levels do not necessarily correlate with multiple pregnancy.

sorry...shouldn't have hit POST so quickly!
