Is it normal for progesterone levels to drop?

[Allip77]

I had an FET on October 7th and am waiting for the u/s on Nov 4th.  In the meantime, I've had 3 progesterone level checks and I'm freaking out today because my levels yesterday went down to 22 from 35.  I'm already taking 3 progesterone suppositories (endomedium) daily.  Is this drop in progesterone an indication I'm likely to miscarry???  Or could this be normal fluctuation?  I thought progesterone was supposed to continue increasing.  Has anyone else had this big of a drop in progesterone and still had a healthy baby??

THANKS!  Am sooo upset:(

I was worried; my RE was not. I can't remember the number, but I think it was around 10. He said as long as it is above the no. it was fine. The 17 was my last measurement (they had steadily decreased btn the 1st and the 4th). I had an u/s, saw the h/b, and my RE released me to a "regular" OB. Mention it to your RE - it will make you feel better - and see if he prescribes additional prog support or says that it is okay.

THANKS!!!!!  I'm feeling better this evening.  Going to get off the internet, cuddle up with my dh now and relax, and think good thoughts!:)

My RE doesn't check progesterone either. I am on pio shots since three days before the transfer. Stress is not good now. You have crossed the major hurdle. Enjoy rest of the pregnancy.
