Anyone know what high progestrone levels in early pg could mean?

Brewster

progestrone- 112.6

HcG- 459

4 weeks 3 days pregnant?  Could this mean a multiple pregnancy or not necessarily?

I'm pretty sure it could be an indicator of multiples.

Wow, that is high.  I thought high hcg was an indicator of multiples, not progesterone.  I would google for you but I need to make dinner.  I think high progesterone is a good thing, though.  During the pg that I lost, I always had very low progesterone.

I think it could, but not always. Mine were really high early on and i'm only having 1 according to my ultrasound at 8 weeks.  At least i hope so :-)

Yodajo

It could.  Both those numbers seem pretty high.  I'm curious how the HcG will increase.  I think with multiples it increases at a crazy rate.

Progesterone is the hormone that helps build your uterine lining so the fertile egg has a nice, thick place to implant. Pregnant woman have about 10 times more progesterone in their blood than woman who aren’t pregnant. Low levels of progesterone may indicate the onset of a miscarriage during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, unusually high levels during the first 12 weeks may indicate multiple births.

The normal levels of PROGESTERONE for a single birth from conception to 12 weeks is 9-47 ng/ml, the normal levels of HCG for a single birth at the 5th week is between 18-7340 IU/L or mIU/ml, and the 6th week would be around 1080 to 56,500 IU/L.

 

I found that when I googled it. Looks like it could be a multiple birth!

Thanks girls.  I probably should have also added she got pg on clomid.  That would increase the chance of multiples too, right?
