Re: checking in......hcg levels and progesterone levels

[Guest guest]

I had to do the progesterone suppostitories before and it worked well. My

levels went up and the doc stopped them after about a month or so I think it

was.

I am glad your levela are going up. Mine were low like that at about 5 weeks

and then jumped way up too, that is great.

I am taking Progesterone twice a day...although I do oral meds. I have used the

suppositories previously, but we had a hard time finding a pharmacy to make them

in my area.

Hi Terri!

I am so glad that your visit went well. It's always nice to be able

to see the baby! I have had 2 miscarriages before I was diagnosed

with low progesterone levels.. This pregnancy I did have the

progesterone support - though I was using the gel and not the

suppositories - and it went wonderfully! My numbers stayed very high

and I was on it until week 14... So good thing your doc has you on

it! I am a big fan of progesterone support now - since it's made this

pregnancy a sticky one!

and your HCG levels look great too!!! Sounds like you have a great

doc on your side! Congrats!
