1st Trimester

Worried about progesterone

Just had my blood work Friday @approx. 4 weeks. I'm happy with my hcg (486.1) but concerned my progesterone is too low (8.39). I had one miscarriage last fall and I'm terrified of having another.

I just emailed my Dr and he is usually pretty good about emailing back after office hours but I'm impatient and wondering... Has anyone else has had experience with this?

  • Mine was 10.7 and my Dr. put me on progestrone supplements twice a day.  It must have helped because I am still pregnant and am no longer taking it.  Good luck!

  • im currently on premetrium which they put me on today..go tomorrow for bloodwork.  I also had a miscarriage and i am totally scared/nervous about everything.  Just talk to your doctor im sure if he thinks it is a problem he will give you something.
  • I had two m/c prior to my DS, and progesterone is believed to be the cause- they happened on the exact same day in the pregnancy.  With my DS, my progesterone was 11, and they put me on it for the first trimester, and it worked. If I were you, I would request a perscription for it just to be safe-there is no harm in using the suppositories.

    With this pregnancy, they didn't even check my level, they just put me on it again for precaution.
