low HCG and Low progesterone

Hello moms

I am new here.. and really stressed out.. been trying to conceive for 4 years now.. Got a positive on monday HCG level is 52 and progesterone is 5.7.
I am going for another blood test today. Hoping for the best
Has anyone experienced this before?  Please advice.

Thank You

  • Numbers have to start somewhere. The number itself isn't as important as the doubling time. The progesterone is low, but that can fix itself or can be fixed with meds. That's for your doctor to discern. 
    Son: Jackson, 11/02/06, stillborn due to PPROM and IUGR. Over the next ten years we had 9 miscarriages from 8-14 weeks. On May 18, 2016 my daughter, Ridley, was born. We're OADNBC.

  • Thanks for responding.
    My doctor said hes hesitant to start on progesterone supplements since the HCG is so low.  I am really freaking out. I requested for another blood test today; and see what the results are.. fingers crossed.
  • My hCG was low on my first beta, did my second draw today. My progesterone was borderline low as well and if my second numbers come back as at least doubled, then I will be starting supplements ASAP. Talk to your dr and voice your concerns

  • I started progesteron 2 days after ovulayion and have been taking it since my bfp. They said I should continue taking it until I am 12 wks.
