checking in......hcg levels and progesterone levels

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I wanted to touch base and let you know that I went to the OB yesterday and

since last Wed....my hcg levels have continued to rise...last Wed., my hcg

was 182. Yesterday......just 6 days later, they were 1,980. I was elated to

find that out.......I also had an ultrasound and we saw the gestational sac

for the first time. Doc says it looks nice and healthy with a good uterine

lining......nice and thick. He did say my progesterone levels were a bit low

........they should be around 15 and they were 11.5. So he prescribed

progesterone suppositories for me to take twice per day......anyone ever

used those? He said that would help sustain the pregnancy and he also

suggested I take 1 baby aspirin a day since I have such a long history of

miscarriages. I am only 5 weeks along....so I have a long way to go......

but we are hopeful!!!

e was the same...she started progesterone the day she ovulated...she would

take one 200mg capsul vaginally ...when we found out she was pregnant the dr

upped it to 2 a day then 3 a day for the first 12 weeks...vaginally is

better...she was on prometrum 200 mg...you absorb better that way...hope this

helps...
