I have learned that progesterone fluctuates everyday/week. I am now 8 weeks pregnant & it's constantly changing. Just keep it above 20 & you should be fine.
Good Luck ladies.
Hi ladys
my period was due the 22nd march, but im pg and had bloods done on the 25th march and my levels were 59.7 progesterone is that ok ?? on here alot of you are around 20 - 35 and a few weeks further than me, should i be worried ??
Thank you. That makes me feel better. Also I checked out the websites suggested above and the numbers seem to be in the right place. Now to wait until next Tues. for the US.
So sorry for your losses. I hope this is the sticky one for you!
My progesterone at about 5.5 - 6 weeks was 23.3. My RE was happy with that number and he said anything over 20 was considered good. So it sounds like you have a good number there! best of luck to you!!
Thank you for your response it was very helpful. Also, thank you to everybody who reponded to my questions. I am 42 and nervous I had two previous miscarriages and we really want a baby. Not sure if I can handle another miscarriages, who can :(.. Thanks again everybody.
My doctor said the levels were ok. That made me nervous. He said after the ultrasound on April 5 we will know better. They only took my HCG twice when I was 3 week past conception and at that point it was 67 then two days later it went to 152. He did not seem concerned about taking the HCG again. That kind of concerns me. I am not getting morning sickness yet which also concerns me. But I have been getting a headache every night at the same time and a little sick to my stomach not much. Should I ask for another HCG test???
HI just came back from the doc, I asked her what levels would she expect to see (I am 5w 4d) she said around 35 would be good...I get my results back tomorrow afternoon... am pretty nervous as I had a miscarriage 6 months ago.
I found this info on this website: http://www.justmommies.com/articles/progesterone-pregnancy.shtml
Progesterone during pregnancy
First Trimester 9-47
Second Trimester 17-147 ng/ml
Third Trimester 55-200 ng/ml
Based on that chart, looks like your progesterone is normal.
since I had no clue, I looked it up :)
http://www.*****************.org/pregnancycomplications/earlyfetaldevelopment.htm
"Progesterone levels also can have quite a variance at this stage of pregnancy. They can range from 9-47ng/ml in the first trimester, with an average of 12-20ng/ml in the first 5-6 weeks of pregnancy."
It also says:
"With both hCG levels and progesterone levels, it is not the single value that can predict a healthy pregnancy outcome. It is more important to evaluate two different values to see if the numbers are increasing. Levels of hCG should be increasing by at least 60 % every 2-3 days, but ideally doubling every 48-72 hours. Progesterone levels rise much differently than hCG levels, with an average of 1-3ng/ml every couple days until they reach their peak for that trimester. In situations when there is a concern of an ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage, hCG levels will often start out normal, but will not show a significant increase or will stop rising all together, and progesterone levels will be low from the beginning."
What are your hCG levels? It looks as though your progesterone is okay...higher is better :)
Did your healthcare provider not discuss your results with you?
