My HCG numbers are really good and have more than tripled since my first blood test but my progesterone levels have only risen a little and are still below 25 which they like to see. Should I be concerned? Did anyone else here have low progesterone levels in early pregnancy? They are making me use these icky progesterone suppositories. =p
I was in a similar situation. Great HCG levels, not so great progesterone. They put me on oral Prometrium pills. I was on them till 12-13 weeks and they did their job. I didn't love the effect they had on me but they worked.
Well that's a relief that someone else had my problem and could still carry past the first trimester. They have my on suppositories which remind me of yeast infection medication...ick. What were your levels in early pregnancy before they put you on the supplements do you remember?
I got my BFP on Monday!! My levels are low as well, my pro is 8 & hcg is 12. Now I'm thinking I just had my fisrt iui on 8/24 and was due today 9/8 for my period...I'm thinking my levels are so low because its way to early??
