Progesterone ??

~iLoVeHiM~~iLoVeHiM~
in Pregnant after a Loss

So the Dr. checked my progesterone and it was a 16. He said that is completely in the normal range but he is going to supplement me as a precaution. I began taking prometrium yesterday. I even looked up normal prog levels and it said that is completely in the normal range but I still get the feeling it is low. WDYT?

I know I should just trust him and what I'm reading but when I see higher prog levels at earlier stage of pg than I am in signatures, it gets me a little nervous.

(the pg I m/c prog was a 6)

    My prog. was 18 at first, then 17 the second time. My dr. was completely happy with that since it was still elevated and did not put me on supplements.

    My progesterone was 9.5 and I started taking supplements right away.  I wouldn't worry too much, the supplements will help (although I think your number is probably fine).

    With this baby my first progesterone was 12 and so I went on Prometrium 2 times a day till end of first trimester.

    Anything over 15 is considered good.

    This is my first pg but I've been lurking for anything on progesterone. Mine was initially 15.8 at 5weeks and they thought it was great and didn't supplement even though I questioned it.

     

    Yesterday I went in at 7 weeks and found out we are having twins. The progesterone came back at 8.2....I am totally scared and they have me on supplements.

    I wish I had supplemented from the beginning - they thought it wouldn't drop but it did....
