Extremely high progesterone level !

by Shelly154, Feb 10, 2009 09:27PM
I am really wondering what my high progesterone levels mean?  At 4 weeks, I had hcg levels of 396 and progesterone of 82 and at 5 weeks, hcg level of 7168 and progesterone of 160 !!  I thought I may be carrying multiples but at the ultrasound today, the ultrasound tech told me he only saw one !  He's been doing this for 30 years and worked all over the world he said so I'm assuming he would have seen more than 1 if there was more than 1 there.  Now, I'm wondering what these high levels mean?  Especially the progesterone !  Should I be concerned ?  I haven't seen anyone say that they had such high progesterone levels.  On other boards that I've been reading, a level above 50 is of concern to most, so should I be worried at a level of 160?  My hcg levels are right at the top of the "normal" ranges for each week...  does this just mean a very healthy pregnancy?

Hmmm... I don't know! Do you have any updated news? Sometimes levels can sky-rocket if you have multiples (early on it IS possible to miss another baby) and my only other thought is molar pregnancy. Did the ultrasound show a fetal pole?
