normal hcg and progesterone, but progesterone decreased a bit - is this normal?

Hello, I am about 5.5 weeks pregant (1st pregnancy), and had hcg and progesterone tested one week apart. On 1/3, hcg was 122 and progesterone was 22. On 1/10, hcg was over 4000, and progesterone dropped to 19. Is this normal for progesterone to fluctuate? My Dr. told me that it was still a strong number, but that she wants me to get the levels checked one more time in a week to make sure they are not dropping. Please help! I'm so nervous!!!

Hey there...I've heard from several people that progesterone levels can fluctuate even depending on the time of day they are taken...i'm 5w1d today and have been on progesterone supplements since last friday.  I had my levels taken last thursday and my progesterone was only 14.4 my doctor says anything from 15+ he doesn't give supplements cause it is a-okay.  good luck to you!
