I wish I was not posting this today, but two days ago I began bleeding heavily and yesterday I went to the doctor's office where I had a very upsetting visit with a rude doctor, unfortunately where he basically said there is no longer a sign of pregnancy. Then, I had blood work. I was told today that my HCG levels and progesterone levels were very low. I was wondering if anyone knows, because I was too upset to think to ask, does this mean my progesterone is always low or is it only low because of the miscarriage? Thank you for any information anyone can give. I've been reading a lot around here since Wednesday and you're all so incredibly supportive of one another and that has really helped me over the past two days so anyone reading this, thank you.
i'm sorry that i don't have an answer regarding your hormone levels, but i can assume that it's because of the miscarriage. but i just wanted to say that i'm truly sorry for your loss, and that you had to deal with such a rude doctor.
I'm sorry for your loss. It is possible that your progesterone is always low and could have contributed to a miscarriage. But usually after the baby stops growing and the HCG production stops, progesterone will also plummet. It's the sharp drop in progesterone that causes bleeding.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I agree with the other posters. My progesterone was initially low, so I was put on supplements and it went up, but then back down when I miscarried.

Okay thank you...I guess I'll have to see what they say after the next blood work. I found out that my blood is A negative and my husband's is positive so I have to go for further injections due to the blood issue. It's been a rough day. I'm afraid and feeling very alone, so I appreciate this board very much.
