HCG & PROGESTERONE LEVELS

by Aleen217, Nov 26, 2008 12:43PM
I just received my test results from 2 days ago for my HCG & Progesterone. My HCG level was 73 & my Progesterone level was 6.9. The Dr said that my HCG was normal for 4 weeks pregnant but my progesterone was a little low. I'm so scared because low progesterone was the reason for my last 2 m/c's. She gave me a prescription for progesterone suppositories & increased my Metformin from 1000 to 1500 mg (for my PCOS). My pregnancy symptoms are giving me some hope because the last to pregnancies that I lost, I didn't have any symptoms at all. Now have have tons.
Has this ever happened to anyone?? Did you carry your baby full term??
Please help! Thanks!

There are quite a few women on here that once they were put on progesterone they were able to carry to term. Don't worry too much, hard to do I know. I had 2 m/c's before this pregnancy. I am currently 33 weeks and 3 days pg. So, there is definitely hope.

Every pregnancy will be different wheather you carried to full term or not. I hate that because you don't know what's going on. Ugh! I'm in the same boat as you! Well sort of I guess. With my daughter I was sick but with this one I'm not sick at all and sometimes don't feel prego either! My bb's are tender but that's about it and sometimes I feel bloated!

I wouldn't worry about it too much! Everything will be fine! Good luck!!

I just received my HCG & progesterone bloodwork results yesterday that I had got taken on Wednesday. My levels went down :( My HCG was 69 & my progesterone was 4.5. So after I got the results I went to the emergency room to see what was happening. Well in 2 days my HCG levels went back up to 71. HMMM??? I'm so scared because the #'s aren't doubling but if I was m/c why did the #'s go back up?? Do you think maybe the progesterone suppositories (that I started on wed.) are saving my pregnancy?? I'm sooooo scared!!! Please give me some opinions & pray for me & my baby. Thanks!!
