progesterone levels?

teachergurl84 · December 2015

Hi Everyone!

This is my first pregnancy. I am super excited to be pregnant, but really nervous about my progesterone levels. I had my levels checked at 4 weeks, and they were just 9.2. My Dr. put me on 100 mg micronized progesterone, and my level went up to 12 in just a few days. After that, my Dr. doubled my dosage and asked me to come back for more blood work. I came back at 5 weeks and 4 days and my level had dropped to 11, despite the increase in medication. I am now increasing my dosage to 300 mg and going in for repeat blood work on Monday.

Has anyone ever had this happen? My HCG levels are doubling about every 2.5 days, so they seem to be normal. Thanks to anyone who has any insight.

I wish I knew more about progesterone supplements, because I was just started on these as well because I had a corpus luteum cyst rupture last week. I've never had levels drawn to see what they were, it's mainly just given as a precaution. Since your hcg is still rising and no bleeding I would think everything is ok but maybe someone has more experience with this. Hope all stays well!

I took 200mg vaginally right after ovulation since i was tracking it and per doc instructions. My levels never went down though. Do you take it orally? I use to but the doc switched to vaginally for more direct contact. I stopped taking it at 12wks.
