It's Official>>>I'm Pregnant

Hi girls, I got my first bfp last Sunday. I couldn't believe it!!!! We are super excited!!! We've been through many tough roads but we finally made it!!!! I don't know when my due date is, since I am so irregular!!!!The doctor said I was 4 weeks pregnant . My hcg levels on Thursday were at 155, progesterone 11.9, and estrogen 240. The nurse said the numbers were good, but they like to see the estrogen level at 250. My RE put me on progesterone suppositories, I'm guessing RE put me on them as a precaution do to a previous miscarriage.  I go back on Monday to repeat levels. The symptoms I have are sore breast , lower abdominal pain (don't have them often) and the best one EVER frequent bathroom trips. I've read that lower abdominal pain was normal? I am  freaking out!!!! what do you girls think about my levels. Feel free to discuss your own levels and symptoms. Happy & Healthy 9 months to come!!!! Please pray for me, let Mondays levels be great numbers!!!!

Have no fear you are NOT the only one on progesterone supplements!  The first time I got my levels read my hcg was 276 and my progesterone was 8.8.  They immediately gave me progesterone supplements.  They are keeping a close eye.  I think they will continue especially if you have had miscarriages in the past.

The progesterone supplements were a good call! Your prog. looked a little low (anything under 20 should be supplemented to prevent miscarriage). CONGRATS!!!

Congrats to you too! WOW how amazing I cant wait for my first ultrasound! Thanks for your the response! I was starting to worry. I haven't had any bleeding (thank you GOD!!!).  I did ask the doctor about the lower abdominal pain and they said it was normal but you know after having a miscarriage, you can help it  but to be paranoid...Dh is always telling me to think positive, and I am but I'm still scared (cant help it). When is your due date?

congrats!  Lower ab pain is normal as long as its not extremely painful...and as long as u arent bleeding. if its worrying u i would def call the doc and just ask them their opinion. im 6 weeks and 2 days pregnant with a history of 2 miscarriages. my levels at about 4 weeks was hcg 50 and progesterone 12.5. they said my levels were fine and i havent gotten them redone yet. they said no need for it. I did go for my first u/s wed and i saw the fetal pole and and faint heartbeat...i go back this thurs for another u/s and for bloodwork. ive had sore boobs and nipples, soooo tired, bloating, frequent urination, pregnancy gengivitis, constipation, and nausea is starting to kick in! Congrats again!
