slow rising hcg and low progesterone

rachie1181

I am somewhere around 6-71/2 weeks. I had bloodwoork done 2 days ago and my hcg was 15,000 (1/25) and my progesterone was only 9.24 so they recommended progesterone shots twice a week for 2 weeks. They redid my bloodwork today (1/27) and the hcg level only went up to 19,660. Because it didn't double in 48 hours the drs said it's rising but not "not concievably". I go for another injection on 1/31 and a ultrasound. I am trying not to be scared but I am. Has anyone else been here? Can anyone offer positive support. I did read about women who ended up with healthy babies even though they had slow hcg levels but I feel like I have a double wammie!

Once they reach a certain level, they don't double every 48 hours. I'm not sure if only going up by about 4,000 at this stage is an issue though. Did they do an ultrasound to measure how far along you are?

Once the number gets over 6000, it takes over 96 hours to double.

This exactly. I honestly think you are 100% fine. With dd I had 10000, 15000, and 20000 each three days apart. She's 2 now.

Thank you ladies! I will try not to worry about it and just keep praying. It just concerns me because other than frequent bathroom trips and being tired I don't feel pregnant anymore. My boobs aren't sore anymore and the m/s hasn't Ben around for days. I guess I will know more after my ultrasound next week. Thanks so much for your support!
