Hi!
I'm sorry to respond so late! I think the first answer I posted got lost in cyberspace and never made it to the forum. I'm not sure why your doctor would say that 21 was "low".
I have always used 15 as a cut off, and have recently read a paper saying that all of their viable pregnancies had progesterone levels over 10. Unless the units are funny, and the value is actually 2.16, I think you're in good shape. Hope your HCG is (was) good!

Hi!
I just saw your follow up question about the HCG. A level of 21 is OK as long as the next level is 42(or so) I expect by now you have the results of a few of them. I hope they are good. At least you can have more confidence in your doctor!

You have to write your own question to the doctor. She will not answer if you piggyback off of someone else. :)
how the hell sdo i do that? i am new to this stuff
Hi, I am 12 weeks pregnant and when I was 6 weeks my progesterone level was a 12. My OB said that was very low that it needed to be at least a 25. He put me on prometrium, a hormone replacement. and he said that if I didn't take it I would lose the baby. My husband and I looked it up and read all about it and all of its side affects. My husband was not happy and does not want me taking it. So we decided that I won't take it. Don't get me wrong we want this baby more than anything and want our three year old to have a sibling. But our theory is that if its Gods will that we have this baby... we will.
Thank you for responding, Ive been a little sad the past few days so I havnt been on here much. I did get my results and my HCG only went up to 31. The doctor told me to stop taking prometrium and I would naturally miscarry. I did This Tuesday. It does just feel like a heavier period. I hope this is my period and i will ovulate in 14 days to try again. This is my second m/c and the lst one was at 2 1/2 months, I hope this will be my last ;o(.
Thanks again for your help.
