Hi all! Today I had my 6week blood test my progesterone levels was at 47, my FS wants me to start progesterone supplements tomorrow (1 pessarie a day for 10 weeks). So I'm a little freaked out to say the least! How soon would I see a rise in my progesterone levels and how much would it go up by? Also, is there a safe range for our progesterone levels to be in during the first trimester. My levels today: hcg- 66437 and estrogen-3316. Thank you in advance for your advice! Xo
Hi positive :)
Progesterone isnt like HCG in the way that it rises. At 6 weeks my P4 level was similar to yours and I had no supplements so perhaps its just a precautionary measure? There is a range that is considered safe but atm it escapes me as to what it is, I will come back if I remember! Sorry, someone else might be more help when this thread is bumped up :)
Try not to panic, it could just be that you have been on IVF and they want to be sure that they do everything they can to support this pregnancy.
Good luck and hope you have a H&H 9 months :hug:
Mine was first tested at 13dpo at 18, i then went on 800mg of progesterone daily, and at 15dpo it was 30, 17dpo 45, 20dpo 65 I'm still on 800mg a day and will start weaning off this week over the next few weeks.
The notes i made at the time in my diary say normal first trimester progesterone is 9-47, my OB said nudging them higher is covering out selves as there is no way a normal dose can take you too high... she didn't give a me a figure for that though.
I really sounds to me like they are just covering you to be extra careful. :hug:
Mine was like yours for DD1 and she is now a healthy almost 3 year old. Find Loula's recent posts... she also had low p4 and has a healthy pregnancy :)
Hi Positive
My Progesterone levels for 5weeks 6 days were 27.4. The nurse at my clinic said they were OK. I was already on 2x 400mg pessaries per day.
I had to add another pessary to the mix making it 3x 400mg per day and I had another BT 3 days later at 6 weeks 1 day and my progesterone had jumped up to 37.4. So it had increased by 10.
I hope that helps. We did a 5 day FET on Prednisone, Progynova & Provera.
