Low progesterone! Looking for advice, please help

knottiee55add13e2ca32e2

I’m currently 6 weeks pregnant today.

On 9/15 - my HCG was 1,309 and my progesterone was 13.9

I asked if I could be put on progesterone, but the doctor told me my level was ok and didn’t need it.

On 9/25 - my HCG was 46,537 and my progesterone was 9.46

So it dipped below 10, and I’m freaking out. I got my obgyn to prescribe me the progesterone and I’m currently on day 3 of taking it.

Hoping it wasn’t too late to start it since it was below 10. But I’m hoping to hear some success stories with others whose progesterone may have been the same or even lower than 9.46 and their pregnancies were still ok?

I don’t go back for blood work until Oct 2nd. So it’s awful waiting and wondering. Just looking for hope.

I don’t have any medical experience, but I’m on progesterone supplementation currently as a precaution from my current obgyn that assisted me with my infertility (I have a hormone issue that makes my progesterone drop). She said that sometimes progesterone can drop into zone one (lower levels) when your baby is growing and uses more of the hormone. She advised me that the supplement helps the baby when it needs more and not to be worried if sometimes it dips. I’m happy to hear that your doctor heard you and made the decision to prescribe. I hope it all works out!

Hey! With my last baby, my progesterone was at 6 and I supplemented with the suppository and everything was just fine I’m now 6 weeks pregnant with #3 and asked to start progesterone before my first appointment - my OB doesn’t see you until 7 weeks - she called in the prescription and I’m starting it today, and will go in for blood work and first ultrasound next week!
