Progesterone Levels during first trimester
Hi there.
I'm wondering if anybody can help me with a question. I am 8.5 weeks pregnant and am having quantative hcg & progesterone tests as I have had missed m/c's in the past. I got my latest results today showing hcg at 84789 which is great but my progesterone level has dropped. Last tests (10 days ago) was progesterone 96 but this one was 71. The Doctor assures me that it is fine because I'm still in the correct range and hcg levels increasing, but couldn't answer my question - should my progesterone be dropping or growing? I know it fluctuates when not pregnant but does it safely fluctuate when the body is?
Can anybody answer this for me. I've googled and searched through BB forums but can't find any answers and it's beginning to really worry me.
Thanks all.
