High Progesterone Means Twins?!?!

areid10

So I had my blood work done yesterday and I am 4 weeks 2 days today.  MY Progesterone was at a 36.9- the doctor said it was wonderful but I read that this high this early could be multiples?  Any ideas?

I don't think that is actually all that high. At 4 weeks even I was at 246

High progesterone can be a sign of multiples, but I agree with blams05 that 36.9 might not be considered that high (but I'm not a medical professional! ). I was 109 at 4 weeks and the Dr. didn't seem alarmed.

Are you sure you guys are talking about progesterone and not hcg?  36.9 is pretty high, and I doubt you were in the 100s or maybe you're using a different measurement.  I have no idea what that says about multiples, though.

Progesterone levels during pregnancy

¹

1st trimester:	10–44 ng/mL or 32.6–140 nmol/L
2nd trimester:	19.5–82.5 ng/mL or 62–262 nmol/L
3rd trimester:	65–290 ng/mL or 206.7–728 nmol/L

Yeah, haha but now I'm starting to wonder! My HCG was 991, then 1950.  I will be asking my dr. at the next appointment...however now I'm getting curious...haha

(I should probably add that when they called with results they did schedule me with a dating scan for Monday...so maybe they think they're high too?)

It's not indicative of multiples, just that you're pregnant! I had progesterone in the 30s with my 2nd and 3rd pregnancies. Both singletons.

HCG levels vary from woman to woman. I had blood work done at 3 weeks and my HCG was 1872. I thought possible twins because it was so high and I have 2 year old bb twins. Doctor had me in right away for an ultra sound because he thought I was farther along. I knew I was only 3 weeks because I knew the only possible date of conception. Turns out my levels are high. Just one baby in the ultra sound, only one heart beat, and the baby was too small to measure (weeks).

Thank you all! I guess we will see, the Dr thought it was great to have there so as long as I have a healthy little one (or I guess it could be two!) I will take it!

I just had my progesterone drawn yesterday at 4w2d and it was 47. I won't have an u/s for 2 weeks or so. Multiples don't run in mine or DH family but that would be awesome
