Beta #4 - now I'm worried. Plus, falling prog?

Mrs.katemaxMrs.katemax
in Pregnant after a Loss

#1: 12/4: hcg 155, progesterone 25

#2: 12/6: hcg 338

#3: 12/13: hcg 3,852

#4: 12/16: hcg 7,336 progesterone 17

This worries me - in just shy of 72 hours, it didn't quite double.  Ugh, definitely turning on the prayers even more now!  Plus, does anyone know what falling progesterone numbers indicate?  I *think* 17 is still good, but since they're falling, do you think the doc will want to put me on something to help?

We have our first U/S in about an hour.  I'm freaking out a little!

    Progesterone fluctuates day to day and hour to hour. My doctor always looked for it to be above 14. You could always ask to have progesterone supplements just to ease your mind.

    As far as your betas, I thought once they get up to a certain level they start taking a bit longer to go up. 

    Good luck at your u/s!

    I have to say, your betas look fine to me - they don't double as quickly once they start getting as high as yours are now. I wouldn't worry about those to be honest!

    As far as progesterone, mine also decreased - it started at 20 and went down to 13 and I was put on supplements. I don't think it can hurt to ask for them, if it would make you feel better. I have heard that anything over 10 is good, but the decline made me nervous as well as my doctor, so I started supplements.
