Is it normal for progesterone levels to drop?

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:(

Thanks! Second ultrasound is tomorrow. Im 1. praying for healthy heart beat and dates to still be correct and 2. subchorionic bleed to be gone... I started out pretty small and im petite and have already gained 6lb so im just counting it as a positive pregnancy symptom :)

You are saying exactly what I said when I was pregnant with my dd:  "my ONLY symptom is sore nipples" except you've got nausea, too.   Those are symptoms!! :)  Now that I'm pregnant for the second time, all I've got is sore nipples and a bigger stomach which is probably just leftover pudge from my first pregnancy (;)  but I'm not at all worried about "lack" of symptoms because I definitely remember that from my first pregnancy - only having sore nipples.  I was always so worried then, calling my dr, etc., but now I'm just glad that I don't suffer from all the other terrible symptoms I could be having.  Enjoy and try to relax..I know it's hard!

Im not sure if i should, at 30 im lower risk, my husband is adopted so we dont know anything about his side, but part of me thinks if i get some 1 in something odds of having something i might just worry more, im undecided. Im looking forward to dec 10th, next us i hope everything still looks good, im 9 weeks tomorrow. Im on pelvic rest till the subchorionic bleed decreased, its internal and they hope it resolves.

Long story but my egg is actually from when I was 38 (we did a frozen embryo transfer) so at least that's better than 42...
