can i lose my baby is my progesteron levels are not going up?

by JOMOSS, Jan 31, 2008 12:30PM
I am 6 weeks today. My hcg levels are going up but my progesteron levels are going down. I was spotting brown and if i push to go to the bathroom sometimes i see brown. My question is do you think i will lose my baby if my progesteron levels do not go up?? Right now my levels are 9.6 the DR says the levels have to be over 15 and they need to go up as your preg goes along. Right now my hcg is 54000 and my progesteron is only 9.6. My dr gace me progesteron pills to take. So since i am taking the pills can i still lose the baby?? What do i need the progesteron for? does the baby need it??

the progesterone level is what keeps you from starting your AF (shedding your lining).  If your progesterone continues to drop, you will probably miscarriage.  My progesterone went from 20 to 16 to 11.  They put me on progesterone suppositories till I was 12wks and everything has worked out wonderful.. I'm now 35wks.

Good luck..
