Question

Low progesterone in very early pregnancy anyone else??

I just found out I was pregnant two days ago due to abnormal bleeding and cramping my beta was 145 estimated 4 weeks 1 day. I went back yesterday morning 12 hour difference in beta 169, my RE didn't seem concerned. I'm still spotting dark brown and light cramps. However he said my progesterone was 4.7. We've already done two u/s and everything looked normal and no ectopic. Just really concerned and worried as been ttc for two years. Note dr has prescribed 200 mg progesterone suppositories 3 times a day.

Hi@an- Absolutely correct. First of all, many many congratulations for conceiving! We too TTC from last 2 yrs. Just started fertility treatment. Doc suggested me take Progesterone 200mg vaginal tablets thrice a day. She suggested to take it after 2 DPO n continue till next menstruation comes. But because Progesterone delays your period. You exactly wont know if you're pregnant or its just progesterone. We might have luteal phase defect, tocoverthat Progesterone is prescribed. Yes it is very much important to maintain n sustain the pregnancy. I didn't understand the beta estimatedterm you said. My test is due after 3 days. Looking forward for my BFP.

You can start using pantiliner as soon as you start taking progesterone vaginal tablets as it will discharge some milky thick thing from vagina everytime you use 1 tablet which is so irritating at times but gradually you will become habitual of this. I have been feeling some pain in chest lately and lower back pain, not sure if its progesterone or any good news for me. Just praying n finger crossed.

Thank you! I went back today due to all the spotting and my beta was 342 and my progesterone increased to 20.7! I go back Monday... All this is going to drive me nutty :)

I am so confused, i thought if your progesterone was low that meant you were not ovulating?? I had mine checked on cd 21 and was told it was a .5 which meant I did not ovulate even though I had a positive ovulation test this month. Any advice?? Congrats on your pregnacy and good luck :)
