hcg and progesterone

[julichris]

My results are in, and I know how many of us like to see these numbers.

18dpo - hcg 255, pro 15.3
23dpo - hcg 2258, pro 9.5 (yikes)
26dpo - hcg 6705, pro 20.3 (thank you, Prometrium)

My spotting has stopped and my progesterone is up. I'm still hoping we saved my lining in time, but I'm feeling MUCH better!!!

WOW!! That is great news!! I'd consider it a miracle since your progesterone was so low...God is so good!

Have you had an ultrasound, Juli?

My Progesterone was 19 at 16dpo. I had it tested because prior to that I had just had some bloodwork done for another reason and my progesterone was 0.5! She said at 19 that was good though and she didn't think we would have any problems. My HCG at 16dpo was 81 and at 18dpo it was 251. So rising but still I guess on the low side. So I am still nervous about my levels. I was already prescribed progesterone cream from the first level (the 0.5) of my progesterone being so low before I even knew I was pregnant, so I am just using that, but I don't know if its doing anything or not. My 19 was before I started actually using the cream so maybe it has risen some since then? I don't know.

Anyway, good luck to you! That is certainly good news!

Great numbers Juli! Glad the spotting has stopped.

No u/s yet...I'm hoping they'll do one on Monday though. My only concern at this point is that the progesterone didn't start out low, it dropped. I don't know what it did, if anything, but I'm sure that's why I was spotting. And I also don't know if these supplements will continue to make it rise even more or if it's max'd out at 20.
