Betas up but progesterone slight decrease- a concern?

Kpan123

I am waiting for my doctors office to open to call and ask, but I wanted to see if anyone here has had something similar so I am less nervous until they open. I get emails when my lab results are in so I see the levels.

I went for confirmation BW at exactly 4 weeks and beta was 162 and progesterone was 42.7. I went again at 4 weeks and 5 days and betas jumped to 1500 (yay!) but progesterone is now 41. I know this is still a normal range, but shouldnt it be going up, not down? I had this blood work done around 12:30 whereas the first time I think it 11:30am, so similar times of day.

I will call and ask the doctor and my guess is that since its normal range its OK, but I'd love to know if this has happened to anyone else.

 

Thanks!

Progesterone fluctuates.  You're way, way above the concern level.

OK great! Thank you- thats what I was hoping (that they were ok and fluctuate) but I wasnt sure if it was like the hcg where it should keep increasing. Thank you!

Mine dropped from 22 to 19.5 so I am now on progesterone suppositories.  I had mine tested at 4 weeks also and they said above 20 was good so I think your good
