Pregnancy Info HOME

Hi everyone! I am so glad I came across this forum because I am driving myself crazy worrying about my progesterone levels. I am currently 8w4d. I had an ultrasound today that showed baby is growing appropriately with a hr of 177. My concern is that my progresterone is going down not up. I did IVF so I was on vaginal progesterone immediately 3x/day. At 5 weeks my level was only 8. My doctor then added prometrium 400mg daily orally. I had my level rechecked a few days later and it was up to 28. Since then it has steadily declined with the level today being 12. This past week I did start to wean my vaginal suppository to 2x/day and the prometrium to 200mg/day. I am very concerned because I am to wean off the prometrium today. I still have another 10 days of the suppositories until I am off them. The nurse at the doctor office was reassuring and told me this is normal and that at 10 weeks my placenta will take over. She gave me the option to stay on the prometrium if I wanted but I will not have another progesterone level checked. I have a two year old and no prior history of miscarriage. With my first pregnancy I don't even think they checked my progesterone levels.

Any advice? Should I be worried?

Thanks ladies any words of experience is much appreciated!
