BFP and HCG/Progesterone levels

[magsmom713]

So I got a postitive HPT on Wednesday April 8, but it was faintly +, so my doctor suggested serial HCG levels, so here they are   4/9 - 17, 4/13 - 67 and progesterone 8.1.  My doctor said things look ok, it just may be really early and as long as they are rising things should be ok.  He also put me on prometrium 2x/day orally.  Yesterday I had a bloated/full sore feeling in my belly and some lower back pain.  I haven't had any bleeding or anything.  I should also mention that my cycles are irregular and I have had 2 previous miscarriages.  I had my daughter in between them, I was also on progesterone supplements with her, but they were vaginal suppositories.  Does anyone have any information on what is more effective or how quickly prometrium will increase the progesterone levels.  Also does anyone have/had similar symptoms. I don't really want to call the doctor's office again.  I also had another hcg level drawn this morning.  Any help would be appreciated.  I am also a labor/delivery nurse, but we don't typically deal with early pregnancy and it's different when it is yourself.  I'm just nervous.  Thanks in advance.  By my calculations I would be due in December.

I think I am in the same boat as you. I took HTP on 4/7 got very faint line. Went to doc 4/8 took urine test at doc it was neg. Went on 4/9 to blood HCG was 21. He said it was really early. Went back 4/13 HCG was 236 and progest was 50. They said every thing look great I was around 4weeks prego. & they would see me again in 4weeks to due u/s.
I had my IUD removed 2/19/09 and bleed til March 24th. So I am not sure when I concevied. But by my calculations and finds on internet I am due in mid Dec I think. Guess I have to wait til May 15th to get u/s.
I also had a tubal preg in 05. Which makes it so hard to wait to due a u/s. I dont know if my story helps you but just so you know your not alone. OH by the way how did your new HCG levels come out? Wish you all the best!!!
