I did not realize so many women were in similar situations to me! My progesterone level was 8.6 at 6 weeks and I am on 400 mg/day of prometrium (pill). I have spotted a total of 3 times already, but twice it was extremely light. The 3rd time was a significant amount and I thought I was losing the baby. I have another ultrasound tomorrow and hope all is still OK. Had a regular exam today and dr. says things look good and not to worry. He said that some women have naturally low levels of progesterone, and if your body can function on that, then don't worry about what is "normal" for everyone else. BUT, since progesterone is safe during pregnancy, it can't hurt. So I am taking it to be safe. Saw the heartbeat during the last ultrasound, so hope I see the same tomorrow at 7.5 weeks. Good luck, ladies!
