I just came back from having my weekly b/w done and asked for a print out of my results thus far so here they are:

Sept 22 Hcg 120
Oct 6 Hcg 14117 Progesterone 40
Oct 14 Hcg 64706 Progesterone 25


I am thrilled with the Hcg levels but am now concerned about the drop in progesterone even though it is still within the normal range....
Here is a chart of progesterone levels:

Before pregnancy: 1 to 28 ng/ml

Conception to 12 weeks: 9 to 47 ng/ml

12 to 28 weeks: 17 to 146 ng/ml

28 weeks till birth: 55 to 200 ng/ml


The nurse was going to fax this over to the OB as well as get my doc to take a look voicing my concerns...I am really hoping that this bean is going to hang in there and that everything is going to be okay...

I donno much about Progesterone...but I'm keeping you and your little one in m prayers!

i take the oral progesterone 200mg once a day. i know that if you are feeling sick you can insert them vaginally. there are also injections and creams, but i think those are less commonly used.

as for me: still waiting for the doctor's office to call back....the wait is torture!!!!!!!

Thanks Allison for the info...

Thanks Kara for your thoughts and prayers...

Will let you know once I have heard something from the doc's..

I just got off the phone with a midwife (who I have made an appt with for next Mon p.m.) and she said not to worry too much about the progesterone level b/c it can drop off a little bit or fluctuate during the first tri...**breathing sigh of relief**...she said that if the doc recommended taking supplements then to do so....she just told me to relax and not stress about it..so I won't...Thank you ladies...will still let you know what the doc says when I hear something....You ladies are all awesome btw!!!

HCG numbers are looking awesome Heather, and VERY relieved to hear the fluctuation in progesterone is normal! Keeping you and the wee bean in my prayers!
