1st Trimester

anyone with low pregestrone levels in first few weeks?

HI all, just found out I was pregnant with my #2 after lots of fertility issues, one being an ectopic back in the summer whre I lost my tube, so I am down to one tube..
I went for my blood work today , I go to fertility speciallist since I had an ectopic prior, and my hcg level was 59.7 and my progestrone was low they said at 9.4 so they put me  a progestrone supplement, prometrium 200 mg , 2x a day, just started today

 I am just very early on, 4 weeks 3 days..and I guess I have two questions for the board
1.  is that a low hcg level? (pregnancy)
2.  does the 9.4 low progestrone mean impending miscarraige?  Has anyone had that low of a number (they say they like to see 15 or higher) and all turns out well after taking the supplement?


i guess ih ve two quesoitns,one is

  • I had low progesterone, and it got down to 4 when I was about 5 weeks along. I started on prometrium 200 mg twice a day and it went back up to where it was supposed to be. But, my doctor told me to insert the those capsules vaginally so that the hormone could get to where it needed to be. That was better for me because taking it orally made me nauseated. You may want to ask your doctor about that. HTH
  • I had a chemical pg in October.  Now I am on progesterone in oil injections and Prometrium due to low progesterone and everything is going great.  Regarding the HCG level, what's  most important is that it doubles every 2-3 days.   GL!
