I had a miscarriage in Feb. 09 due to a Blighted Ovum. I just found out I am pregnant again and am about 4 1/2 weeks right now. I have had my HCG and Progesterone checked only twice so far but am concerned. My HCG was 123 and then three days later was at 325 which is good. But my prog. started out at 38.4 and then dropped to 31.7 three days later. The nurse said not to worry because prog. levels fluctuate and that my numbers are still very good but I can't help but worry. I won't have anymore blood work for a whole week!

First of all, CONGRATULATIONS. If I were you I'd start taking progesterone supplement every day, Utrogestan is a good one. take it in pill form in the vagina. Either 100 ml every morning and night or 200 ml every night.


Progesterone can not hurt your baby in the first trimester, all it does is to nurture the lining of the uterus so the little bean can feed of that until your placenta takes over in the 11/12 week. It can not be dangerous, and it will give you peace of mind, then you can use your energy on being happy and enjoying the pregnancy. I was terrefied for the first 8 weeks, and it is exhausting!!!!

I am now 10 weeks today, and saw my little baby at 8 weeks, right size and with a strong heart beat. I am sure it is the progesterone that has helped me maintain this pregnancy......I will have my next scan 15th July and then go off the Progesterone.....I am feeling lovely nauseous and pregnant. Good LUCK. REMEMBER YOU ARE IN CHARGE AND DO WHAT IS RIGHT FOR YOU! Namaste Erle
