Pregnant after a Loss

What are/were your hormone levels?

I had my levels done on Wednesday when I was 14 DPO.

My HCG was 257, the nurse said it is a very early pregnancy

My Progesterone was 27.4, nurse said this was great!

I am really excited about the progesterone.  With the last pregnancy, I didn't get bloodwork done till I was 6 weeks and my progesterone was 10.3. 

I get more work done tomorrow to check and see if they double.  I really really really hope they do (obviously)!

 I am a bit nervous that perhaps last time my progesterone level was this high then dropped.  Although I should probably just be happy with it for now.

What were your levels like at this time?

Re: What are/were your hormone levels?

  • Nothing of mine was that high at that point. 13 DPO I was at 76 for HCG and my progesterone was 26. Also, progesterone can change from day to day and even during different points throughout the day.

  • ...progesterone pulses...so it could be lower or higher at your next draw. when i was pregnant with my son, 13dpo my p4 was 19, 15 dpo it had pulsed down to 14 (and i didnt eat/drink anything, just like at 13dpo) and then at 17dpo it was back up to 19.5.  a p4 of 10 is considered low though no matter where you are in the pregnancy.  . 
  • At 9dp5dt (so the equivalent of 14 DPO) my beta was 452 and my progesterone was greater than 40 (that's the highest my RE's measures).

    Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  • Everyone is so different that it's not really useful to compare numbers.  It makes ladies who have had lower numbers really nervous.  Betabase.info is a great source to see the median result for a large group of people.

    Just to humor you- mine were 105 at 14 DPO and 269 at 16 DPO.  Nowhere near as high as yours!

  • I didn't realize progesterone levels could vary so much.

    I didn't post this to make anyone feel bad.  I just had low numbers from the last time, I was hoping to get some insight into these levels since this is the earliest I have had them drawn.
