Beta and Prog. Update

Serenity0811 · 08-30-2007, 10:42 AM

I went yesterday to have my beta done and I got my results back today. I am a bit worried about my Progesterone levels
I think I conceived around the beginning of August.
My beta is 4,300
Progesterone: 6.6 I think is very low.

The doctor said since we don't know how far along I am they want me to have a sono today. Please wish me luck. I have never had a prog. that low before. I am afraid this pregnancy may mc.
What do you think?

My progesterone went down to 10 with my dd and with this pregnancy also. I was put on progesterone suppositories 100mg 2x/day and stayed on until 12-13 weeks and everything was fine. Can you ask your doctor to get you the progesterone?

Also, remember that progesterone levels fluctuate all throughout the day. I was in a panic when mine came back at ten and requested the suppositories PRONTO. RE said if I wanted them, no problem. He wasn't worried like I was. I'm 29 weeks today. Please don't panic!

Please update on your sono...and CONGRATULATIONS!

With the progesterone, have you ever started it before you were told by doctor? I go back on Tuesday for beta #2 and I thought I would go ahead and use the left overs I have figuring it would help my lining. Oh I forgot, I have prometrium pills.

I went for my first beta on wednesday and it came back at 4300. The doctor wanted me to come into the office today because I am not sure when I conceived as I am nursing. I was nervous because he stated my progesterone is really low and I should start progesterone supp.

I had the sono today and saw a sac but no fetal pole or anything. The doctor said it still maybe to early because the sac is still small. I am so scared this is the first time I conceived without fertility treatments.

The doctor had examined me and when I got home I had some bleeding bright red. I think I may miscarry? Anyone ever have a successful pregnancy with this situation?

I go for my next beta tomorrow.

Compare your betas when you get the results of the 2nd one and see how it rises. Were you expecting your cycle? If so, what day? I know it is hard but try not to worry.

I missed af in july but think I conceived in August. I am nursing so it is so hard to tell.

I bled at beta time for about a week and a half. It was brown, red, and streaked red. My doctor shrugged it off as implantation bleeding...

Please update as soon as you can! I will pray that your next beta rises appropriately!
