Low Hcg Levels and Progesterone at 4 1/2 weeks
by charlierbloomer, Jul 14, 2008 08:46PM
I am 4w5d pregnant. I went in on July 11th and my Hcg was only 18. I went in today (14th) and they had jumped to 70, but my progesteron was only 9.3 so I am starting progesterone suppositories tomorrow. I had 1 m/c at 5 1/2 weeks, then a healthy and normal pregnancy (now 18 months old), and then a m/c at 6 1/2 weeks, so this is my 4th pregnancy. Has anyone had these low numbers and had a successful pregnancy? My doctor was pleasantly suprised to see my numbers increase the way they did, but I don't want to have any false hope.

my HCG numbers were very similar to yours, but my progesterone was only 6.5......my little bundle is 2 weeks old tomorrow. Just keep thinking positive and take care of yourself. And yes I did take progesterone supplements twice daily. Best of luck. Kim

Let's see, my numbers were similar to melimeli's. I think my hcg at 4 weeks was around 24 and my progesterone was 10.7. I was prescribed Prometrium to take vaginally and my son will be 10 months old next week.
