Can anyone offer any insight to this?
I had my progesterone checked early in the pregnancy and they were rising normally. At 6 weeks it was 26.7. I had it done yesterday at 8 weeks and it was 19.
I am terrified as this is the week I miscarried last time. We just saw the heartbeat Thursday, but we also saw the heartbeat last time and I miscarried. The nurse said I am still within the normal range, so we are going to retest Thursday. The nurse just didn't seem to thrilled to say the least.
Don't sugar coat it for me. Is this bad?
Re: Progesterone Drop- scared
Most doctors do anything is progesterone level is close to 20. Mine was 19 to start with and it dropped to 13 and I was prescribed prometrium supplements. My doctor said that anything greater than 12 is good. If they don't prescribe anything, have them check your levels again after a few days. GL
In my opinion, it's not wonderful news, but it can be manageable. I would wait and see what the retest shows. A lab result of 19 isn't an immediate sign of m/c, but if it continues to drop they may and in my opinion should put you on a progesterone supplement-quick.
My prog. got as low as 8.8 in the early stages of pg and I was put on 200mg oral prometrium twice a day and I don't want to jinx anything but I am 27w now. Good Luck and FX for the retest and keep us posted.
