Progesterone was 13.0 at 11DPO

[Dwest23]

I tested positive on a HPT on 10DPO (this past Sunday), very faint, but positive, later that night I took a digital first response test, and it said I was pregnant.

I went into the doctor the next morning (this past monday), which was 11 DPO, for bloodwork. I tested positive with urine at the doctor.

Yesterday was 14DPO, and I still don't feel pregnant (this is my 2nd pregnancy). I have slight hints of nausea here and there, but VERY minor, and it hardly every occurs.

FINALLY last night my doctors office called me with the results. She said my HCG blood test came back positive. She didn't tell me the numbers, but she said I was pregnant, but they were VERY VERY LOW, because it was SO early when I had the test done.

She however said my progesterone was 13.0 at 11DPO, and that it was very low. She said it needed to be in the 20's at this point, and that its only a matter of time before I mis-carry.

Today is 15 DPO, and I keep on taking pregnancy tests that are getting DARKER AND DARKER every-day. They're even darker than the test line.

Is this pregnancy doomed? I mean, could my progesterone still be going up, and it was just so low at 11DPO, because I could have possibly JUST implanted? Which is why my HCG levels were so low?

Today I'm picking up progesterone suppositories. Is this pregnancy a failure? My husband and I have been trying for years, and we're told we'd never have a 2nd child with my husbands SEVERE sperm abonormality. 1 million sperm count, 2% motility, and 4% morphology.

Any hope ladies...?? Please...I am barely 4 weeks pregnant.

This site talks a bit about both hcg and progesterone levels.  i don't have any personal experience, but thought this might be helpful.  i wish you the best of luck and hope this turns out to be a healthy pregnancy for you.
