Progesterone Question?

[Hope16]

At my 4 week beta test appointment, my progesterone came back at 22.5. My doctor was very happy about that. I had been taking 1xdaily vaginal suppositories. Fast forward to today 6w+1 and my progesterone level came back as 14. The nurse said it's still in the normal range, but the doctor wants to see it get a little higher so they advised me to double my progesterone suppository to two a day- one in the morning and one at night.

My question is, should I be concerned? Has anyone else experienced this? I did some reading and it says that in your first trimester anything between 9-46 is normal. My concern is more with the dropping aspect. Why would that happen?

I have also done a lot of reading on this and what I read was that it can fluctuate quite a bit. When you eat it can drop by 50%! There are several factors that affect it.

I read that too but I didnt eat anything before I gave blood.
