Low progesterone in pregnancy?
My hcg levels are doubling every 33 hrs but my progesterone is at 6. I started progesterone to help raise it....anyone else do this very early in pregnancy(I'm only abt 2 weeks past ovulation) and have a successful pregnancy?

My progesterone level was 7 and I started the suppositories at 5 weeks 3 days. I was so worried and stressed because I had just suffered a miscarriage.. Well I'm now 36 weeks 5 days pregnant and dying to meet my daughter. I really believe the suppositories helped my pregnancy. All you can do is make sure your hcg is rising like it should and don't miss a single dosage. I hope everything works out for you.

Congratulations!
As I recall, I didn't have my progesterone tested until I was about 5 weeks. I'd been taking vitamin B6 (I suspected that I had a luteal phase defect and read that B6 could help with progesterone levels during implantation), and my progesterone was still just under 15. I took progesterone for the remainder of my first trimester. I'm now heading into my 3rd trimester and expecting a very active little girl.
Have your doctor continue to monitor your progesterone levels, but unless they are overly concerned about it, try to keep your stress levels down and not to freak yourself out over it. I know how VERY easy it is to let these things overwhelm you. Best of luck!

I don't know what the normal levels are but progesterone can be a bit tricky as it causes bleeding,etc. If your on tablets and your dr isn't concerned i would say there is nothing to worry about. Ive heard people say they had to have progesterone shots with their pregnancy and it was all fine.

unsure relating to the indications, yet, what i comprehend for specific is that too low of a progesterone point in the process the initiating of being pregnant may be risky. i do no longer desire to alarm you, yet progesterone is to blame for preserving the endometrial lining of the uterus stable sufficient to assist a healthy being pregnant to term.

its very early, if the next levels haven't doubled over the next couple of tests, 66 hours, then the chances are the pregnancy will fail, if they have gone up more than double it could be a multiple pregnancy. all you can do is wait and be positive. X
