Anyone on progesterone supplements?

Hey guys just trying to get a fill! I am 7 weeks and my hcg levels are good they said and my progesterone levels are good... However they dropped from 18 to 12 in a week . Is this normal? She said they won't put me on the supplement until I'm 10 weeks :/ nervous!!

Re: Anyone on progesterone supplements?

  • Hi. I'm a little confused. She WON"T put you on until week 10? That is around the time your placenta takes over and most people STOP taking it. I've been on it 3 times a day vaginally since week 5 and was told to stop at week 10. However, 18 is a pretty good number and your progesterone numbers can vary every hour so just because it was a little lower doesn't mean it was bad. She still should have put you on them. I am not sure why she would wait until week 10...very strange.

  • I have been on them since 4 weeks.  My progesterone went from 22 to 19 so as a per-caution they put me on them.  After week 12 the placenta takes over and you won't need progesterone so that's weird that they are waiting to put you on it......
