HCG and Progesterone Levels

[ajbi1217]

I had my first labs done at 15 dpo. My hcg was 47.3 and progesterone was 32 (I'm taking 200mg/day of Prometrium).  The nurse who called with the results said they were fine. I think the hcg seems kind of low. With my last pregnancy at 15 dpo my hcg was 269. Any opinions?  I am worried. Thank you.

They only took my progesterone levels once after I started the Prometrium to make sure it was theraputic and it was in the 20's don't remember exactly. But they haven't taken it again. But I've had 4 ultrasounds where we have seen baby's heartbeat and everything is well.

Thanks everyone!  Hope everything goes well tomorrow.

Mami- what have your progesterone levels been like since taking the prometrium?

I think it looks fine too.  Could be that your baby implanted just a few days ago and it's just now starting to rise.  Lets hope for a 95 tomorrow!  Your progesterone looks great too!

I agree with the above. hCG always has to start at some point, and you also need to remember all pregnancies are different. The important thing isn't the number alone, it's what that number does. Based on what you've said here they look fine.

That's good. You're progesterone looks great! I am on 200 mg of Prometrium too. I have one week left on it. So far so good.

[ajbi1217]

Yeah. I'm retesting tomorrow.

You could have implanted later. hCG has to start somewhere. You can't go off just one number either. Are they repeated the test? All that matters is that it doubles appropriately.
