Progesterone levels dropping while on supplements?

Question

Hi all, looking for some reassurance. I've been on 200mg progesterone suppositories since 3 DPO. My levels have been the following:
4 weeks 59
5 weeks 54
6 weeks 29
7 weeks 17
8 weeks 8

At 7 weeks they upped me to 200mg 2xday
Yesterday at my 8 week it was 8 and now they want me to do 200mg 3x day

I'm nervous because my levels went down even though my dose was increased. Has anyone gone through this and had a healthy pregnancy to term still? Any advice...
 
Thanks so much!

Answer

I'll update this in case someone else was looking for help with a similar situation. We ended up losing this pregnancy around 14 weeks. The baby had chromosomal abnormalities and heart defects. Looking at these numbers now I feel like my body was trying to miscarry early on but I fought it.

I did Get pregnant about 3 months later and was still prescribed progesterone supplements. My levels still went down before 12 weeks but this time I was not increased to 3 times a day and they did not go down near as far.

Now we are awaiting the arrival of our little miracle baby in just 22 short days 😍 so after three early miscarriages and a loss at 14 weeks we can't wait to welcome our sweet baby boy!

Answer

I had low levels.. At first. But I learned ask for the range-- everyone is different and there is a hormone range (it's pretty broad) while dropping you may still fall into the acceptable range.. And be just fine :) good luck
