Title: Pregant - Lacking Progesterone

Okay, so I'm pregnant but we're not sure how far along, really. Should be the first trimester but apparently I'm very very low on progesterone. Which they think explains the prior two miscarriages.

So this evening I have to go to an apothecary to pick up some progesterone suppositories to be used nightly.

I'm just hoping that this whole thing has been caught in adequate time.

I was put on them when i was pregnant with Sophie cos i had 3 miscarriages. The dr said there is no evidence that they worked but they did for me and i think without them i would have lost Sophie. good luck, how far are you?

This is where it gets weird. No one is totally sure how far along I am. Either I'm only 2-3 weeks pregnant, or I'm closer to 8-9 weeks but with really low hormone levels.

My HcG was 485, which is consistent with 2-3 weeks. The progesterone level was 11.55. But if you time it with my period, I've got to be in the 8-9 week range.

I went in today to the OB office for more blood work. They are hoping that my hormone levels will have increased since Thursdays blood work. So, we shall see.

Well your doctor should give you the progesterone now to be on the safe side

So far, so good.

Got the phone call this morning. My HcG level has increased from 485 (last Thursday) to 1631.

They are going to do an ultrasound on the 22nd.

The nurse said I should be about 4-5 weeks along.
