    Question what were your HCG & progesterone levels?

    hi ladies,

    i'm getting my results back from my GP tonight. just wanting know if anyone would like to share what their HCG/progesterone was in the first trimester? were they ranked good or bad?

    i'm worried as i know my progesterone was on the low side at 8DPO, so just wanting to know what to expect . & would be a lot of help to others too.

    i'll start:

    @ 8DPO -
    HCG: 15
    Progesterone: 15.5

    At 12dp4dt ... So equivalent to 17dpo I guess??

    My hcg was 122 and progesterone was 30. They didn't want to do any more blood tests, so I have no idea about doubling times or anything. But I am now ten weeks pregnant, so something must have been okay

    thanks ladies .

    before she told myself & DH the results my heart was about to jump out my chest....

    HCG @ 20DPO - 3,342!!!
    Progesterone @ 20DPO - 19.2

    repeat tests in 2 days i tried to push for her to give me a prescription for progesterone but she wouldn't. she said progesterone doesn't matter as long as the HCG is good... idk what to believe. i still feel my progesterone is on the low side. as i see some girls with levels over 60 this early. but according to this chart, i'm doing OK?? i hope??

    Progesterone during pregnancy
    First Trimester9-47
    Second Trimester 17-147 ng/ml
    Third Trimester55-200 ng/ml

    I don't know a great deal about progesterone levels but that hcg sounds perfect! Super happy for you. So are you about 5 weeks now?

    I'm not 100% sure. I have tried using the due date calculators online but they're all based on a 28 day cycle & ovulation on CD14. I have a 30 day cycle & ovulate around CD20. I think I'll roughly be 4w6d tomorrow judging by my dates, or 5w6d going by the online calculator lol. Can't stop worrying about my progesterone!!

    With DD:
    3w 4d- HCG 55 P4-86
    4w 1d- HCG 420 P4- 58
    4w 4d- HCG 1880 P4- 50
    5w 2d- HCG 14650 P4- 57
    5w 5d- HCG 29350 P4- 53
    Let me know of you want me to keep going

    With DS:
    4w 1d- HCG 167
    4w 4d- HCG 368
    5w- HCG 1550 p4- 29
    5w 6d- HCG 10150 p4-27

    As I said previously, your progesterone may have been low due to the pregnancy being unviable last time. 'Lower' progesterone levels may not be indicative of miscarriage ITMS? Have you booked a scan? How exciting!

    13dpo- hcg 38
    15dpo-hcg 87 p- 92
    18dpo- hcg 1152 -p- 102

    I was on progesterone suppositories so I suspect that's why they were high.

    Re: what were your HCG & progesterone levels?

    thanks so much ladies!!! i know my exact dates now. 5w1d!

    results are in

    8-9DPO - 15 HCG
    4w5d - 3,342 HCG
    5w - 5,806 HCG
    doubling time of 60 hours

    i have done a lot of research & once HCG hits 6,000 it can take up to 96 hours to double, it said HCG shouldn't really be tested after 6,000. buuut i'm having 1 more test anyway . got a referral for our 6-7 week scan too, can't wait to see/hear the heartbeat!!
