Comments, opinions? I had an ectopic in December so I'm really nervous that my progesterone is so low.

Answer

I have low progesterone 4/5 pregnancy and it's "low" again this pregnancy was 15 on Monday and then they increased Mt supplements and only up to 15.5 but my  is going up 345 to 1333 which is good...in my experience I have had two healthy pregnancy with low progesterone and lost one...your hcg is doubling good so for now that's the important part and your progesterone is going up as well which is good ! You could get some progesterone cream on your own if your Dr. Doesn't want to do supplements...the studies on it suggest it doesn't help anything anyway so I'm not sure If it does and I maintained an unhealthy pregnancy longer then I should have because I was on the supplements so it can help and hinder

Answer

I think that's good for how far along you would be. Your hcg is rising appropriately.i would ask about your progesterone. Some doctors want it to be at least 12. I requested to be put on progesterone and my doctor said he wasn't sure that it would help, but he knew it wouldnt hurt. So progesterone won't hurt you. I take Crinone twice daily. It's a vaginal suppository cream. I think it has helped. I had slow rising hcg and saw a tiny little heartbeat today at 6 weeks.
