helppp with progestron

I have just found out that i am pregnant , after 3 years trying and a minute before starting Ivf, I am 5 weeks, on Tues. I had my blood drawn and Hcg was 285 and progestron was 12.5. Thursday i did the same test and hcg came back 798 and progestron came back 7.5, I am freaking out here that it dropped since it's a long weekend i have no one to talk to, I have leftover progestron suppsotories from an old IUI cucle should i take these in the mean time, I can't lose this baby...

The on-call doctor can call your pharmacy and get a prescription in for you that you can pickup.

Honestly if it were me, I'd be using my leftovers until I got the new prescription, just to be safe! Your levels need to be above 20.

Can you call the doctor on call and request a new RX be called in for you?  7.5 is way too low and I do not blame u for starting ur leftover ones. When I had mine checked at 14dpo which was the day I got a BFP my progesterone was only 11.1   Doc immed called in 400mg of progesterone to be taken nightly until I was 12 weeks along.  I am now 18 weeks preggers and all is well.

Keep us posted!
