I think i'm losing my rainbow, advice please

[aml77]

Hello ladies, well a couple of weeks ago I posted about how my progesterone was too high, and now unfourtanetly it is the opposite. two weeks ago on 6/20 i had my blood drawn...now it was very early and i had been on clomid, and my hcg was 55 and my progesterone was 43, which i was told was abnormal. Then i went back 4 days later (6/24) and had another blood test. They called and said my hcg was rising and was 187, didn't mention the progesterone so i thought it had stayed the same. They told me not to come in until next week to do another blood work. Well i went in on wed, which was 10 days from the last one, and was told that 10 days ago my prog was 20. So 10 days ago my progesterone had dropped 23 points in four days! i started freaking out, and asked why i wasnt told and my dr said 20 was normal so it was fine. But i said it dropped 23 points in 4 days and then nobody wanted be to come back until 10 days later. I was very upset, what if 10 days later it had dropped all the way down. she said it was probably lab error. Well I just got a call last night and said my hcg is still doubling, now 2500, but my prog is now 15.9. So not as bad as it could be, but still dropping. I have apt today in 2 hours and she wants to do an ultrasound, and mentioned in her msg about prescribing progesterone by mouth. should i push for suppesitories? from what i've read they are more effective. Also why do you ladies think it would be dropping like that? is that a bad sign that im going to mc. I've been trying my best the past two weeks not to get my hopes up, but i just want this baby so bad... thanks for your advice

I've never actually had my progesterone checked, but have taken it as soon as + test since my 3rd pregnancy. I believe your level is still in the normal range and the fact that your HCG is doubling is a good sign. I'm not 100% on this, but my friend was given progesterone "by mouth" and it was the exact same thing I was given for suppositories. It is believed that the supp. is more effective, it would likely give you more peace of mind to do the supp than orally. It certainly can't hurt to ask your dr. Just know that there is increased spotting with using the supp. due to cervical irritation. Good luck with your ultrasound.

I'm sorry ladies since i'm so worried i wrote one post and posted it to multiple boards. However i didn't realize i posted the wrong one. My dr didn't seem to concerned about the progesterone, and gave me supplements, and my numbers went up.....but now im worried about the u/s...thanks for the kind comments.

Hello Ladies,
I'm not sure if you remember my history but i had a mmc april 12 at 16 weeks. Then april 2012 i had a cp. My dr. put me on clomid and the first cycle i got pregnant. However went for u/s today and it was very discouraging.

my lmp was may 19th, however my cycles are 35 days and i'm almost positive i o'd around june 9-10. June 20th i got a bfp and went to the dr to confirm. My hcg on the 20th was 55. Then on the 24th my hcg was 187. Then 10 days later on july 3rd my hcg was 2100. My dr said everything was doubling like it should, and scheduled an us for fri. I went back last fri july 5th, and had an abdominal u/s. By this point I thought I was 5 weeks and 5 days give or take a few days. The u/s tech only did an abdominal and just saw the gestinational sac. My dr told me to get another u/s done, but to wait at least a week from july 5th. Well I had my first appointment with my paranatoligist today, which i would think im 6 weeks 2 days. They did a vaginal ultrasound, but only saw the gestinational sac and the yolk sac, nothing inside. They said that it was very small just measuring at 5 weeks, and perhaps it was just early and my dates were wrong. They did blood work, which i'll get the results tomorrow, and asked me to come back in a week for another u/s....

The only thing is I know there is now way I can only be 5 weeks, I got my hpt almost 3 weeks ago tomorrow. Even if i got a positive hpt early(which i did get a positive hpt and blood 3 days before af was due) That would still put me at 6 weeks and 2 days. There is no way i could just be 5 weeks with getting my hpt on june 20th correct?
I've been devestated since i found out and have pretty much prepared myself for a mc. I don't want any false hope, but if any of you ladies have any stories about measuring behind when you know ur dates being correct, and then everything would be alright please share them....thank you for listening and prayers please

Some babies just measure small. With my kids, I measured up to a week smaller on the u/s than according to my lmp. My sister had one pregnancy that they moved her due date two weeks back because her baby was measuring so small but she had a healthy baby boy three weeks early (one week early according to her lmp). As long as your hCG is rising properly and your progesterone levels are doing okay now, I'd try to stay optimistic.

It is really hard to say what could be going on, but try not to despair just yet. If your HCG is doubling and you are being treated for your issues with progesterone, all you can do is wait to see if there has been any progress. Babies develop at different rates, so keep that in mind. There should be something to see within the next week and a half or so on ultrasound. It is good to hear you saw a gestational sac and a yolk sac, so it sounds like things are progressing. Good luck!!
