low progesterone

[working mommy]

Has anyone gone on to have a healthy baby with low progesterone still at 9w3d?

What is your progesterone level?

i'm at 28 weeks with ahealthy baby after being on progesterone suppositories until my 12th week, My levels were at 14.5 at 5 weeks

My levels were at 12 at 5 weeks, then I started supplementation, 100mg, only went up to 14, increased to 200mg and over the next 3 weeks went up to 20, then I had a healthy u/s at 8w1d, and on 8w3d my progesterone fell to 14.  Still no bleeding, but I have had mild cramping/discomfort all along.

Did your levels ever rise then fall on the progesterone therapy?

I had the experience of having a very low progesterone level after a positive HCG, doubling normally. From 4-10 weeks the level was off the chart low, below 10, I was warned by by doc "dont get your hopes up". Suppositories, IM oil did not raise the numbers, but they probably helped. According to the net, I was doomed to miscarry this "abnormal pregnancy" . Well, I did not miscarry, that beautiful baby is now 2, healthy and gorgeous. The expert opinion on the net was wrong. I am convinced that the supplements helped, and although my number did not increase to above 10 until 10 weeks when the placenta kicked in, this baby survived and I love her dearly. I hope this gives hope to some people, don't despair! I would also restrict activities for a while, not total bed rest but take it easy if levels are low.
