    Ok so i had my bt this morning they tested for HCG and Progesterone. My results for HCG are 244 but i am still waiting for the Progestorone. I guess at least the HCG levels are going up not doubling though. Is this okay or could this mean this is not a viable pregnancy i have read where levels should be alot higher and should of gone up alot more? I get the results 2mrw morning so i guess we will go from there.
    thanks guys xxoo

    The numbers look good to me hon!! They are supposed to double every 24-48 hours and yours have tripled in 48 hours!! Mine went from 44 to 124 in 48 hours and I'm now 30 weeks!!

    Ok so the Dr called this morning and told me my Progesterone levels where a little low 81.3 and they were hoping for it to be around 100. So i am now taking progesterone pessaries every night for 14 days. has anyone had this happen to them and if so what happened. Im not to be excited we are pregnant or to not try and get our hopes up!
    Talk soon

    I have been on pessaries for last one and this one.. i started on a 200mg, then doubled, and doubled again as my levels were not coming up enough. i stayed on them till over 12w.. The results of my first pessary pregnancy is currently smearing dessert over the table :-) this one is doing well too.

    Me too! Pessaries for number one, didn't need them this time. Number one is the reason I was up at 5.30 this morning! Also- I only had my progesterone tested once this pregnancy at 4w 4 d and it was only 64. Try and relax. YOU ARE PREGNANT!!!! Remember the motto PUPO- Pregnant Until Proven Otherwise!!!! Congratulations!!

    MyAngels......

    I dont have any experience with this but, babies at this stage are soooo small.... if the sonographer was even one mm out, and you have a small baby, this could be right, and baby is fine!
    I know its hard not to worry and over analyse...... I know I probably would!
    The table on page 4 of this http://www.bmus.org/policies-guides/...61_ultBMUS.pdf shows what the dr's use..... If your dr didnt seemed concerned, I dont think you should be too worried (again easier said than done ) That heart rate is good for that age!

    Good luck hun have a H&H pregnancy!

    Hi there, I'm going through a similar thing - I'm onto my 4th pregnancy in 12 months and while my 14dpo numbers were really good (204) in 48 hours they've only gone to 331 - I'm on 3 prog pessaries a day because even on 2 it was low but that has gone from 40 to 87 in the 48 hours. Everything I read on the net says 48-72 hour doubling is totally normal (which mine has) yet the nurse at the fert clinic said it's not looking too promising. I don't know who/what to believe. How have things panned out for you? My last pregnancy I was measuring over a week behind for dates with low to start/rise HCG numbers but I was certain of my dates as I'm doing fertility treatment. Hoping everything is going well for you.

    Hi Alison, we are going well i think going in for a scan 2mrw so hopefully is going along ok. I had a scan done 2 weeks ago and bubs was almost a week behind but the Dr was not too worried.
    With our HCG levels mine were not very high at all in the first few weeks i was also told things didnt look so good, my levels never seemed to double as what they say they should im not sure if it means bubs isnt very strong or just the levels are not high this time. When i was pregnant with my daughter the hcg levels were very high. So i am not sure what to say but at the moment bubs is doing well and 2mrw hopefully will be good news. i will let you know when i get back from the scan.
    I stressed and worried but theres not much we can do, its a terrible waiting game.
    When my levels at the start were not high the Dr did put me on Progesterone for 2 weeks, so maybe you could ask ur Dr if they would consider putting u on those tablets. The progesterone to my understanding does not stop a misscarrige but it makes or helps the pregnancy and makes it stronger.
    Anyway hope this has helped a little, good luck. When do you go in for your next blood test?
    Take care xxoo
