Hello

I just found out I am pregnant again after 2 miscarriages this year.

First HCG is more than doubling in 48 hours 31 at 13DPO to 70 at 15 DPO)
But progesterone is low at 11.7 (despite supplements ) and estrogen too at 76.
Nurse says HCG levels are good but the prog & estr are too low, could be ectopic or miscarriage.

Nurse has doubled my progesterone supplements and I have to go back for tests in 4 days which seem like an eternity

Pls if you had similar experiences that ended up well can you share?
Any thoughts? Any hope? I am very worried and stressed Thanks!
 
My progestrone at 19DPO was 11. I didnt go on any supplements as my FS is a believer that if the pregnancy is a viable one, it will look after itself and I never had any progestrone issues through ovulation.

Guess he was right, Im still here.

Best of luck to you xx
 
If your supplements are not oral they wouldn't show in lab work...I used supplements with this pregnancy and my levels started at 6 but we never checked them again as my pills were inserted vaginally. Are yours oral or vaginal?

Thanks for the reassurance. Doctors freak me out. They talka bout ectopic because progesterone is low. I go back tomorrow for tests. It feels like an eternity. My BBs are not sore while they were with other pregnancies (that ended up in MC). I a, so stressed out, thanks for your answer x

They are vaginal but capsules not gel. Nurse said gel does not show up but capsules do. So I am now on 800 mg a day , 2 capsules in the morning and 2 in the evening, it is a lot!!!
 
I had 3 miscarriages due to low progesterone. The last one I had I started progesterone but it was too late. The next month I started taking it 3 days after I confirmed ovulation and got pregnant with My beautiful Avianna Christine!!
