Progesterone Levels

Rachel

Hey ladies! I need advice. Help.

I had a miscarry mid January. And I found out mid February that we are expecting again! Went in for my ultrasound early.. they checked to see how far along I am but also because I am “high risk.” I delivered my daughter at 25 weeks.

So I am 5 weeks and 2-3 days and my HCG is 12,700 and they said my progesterone levels were lower than they liked. They wanted it 20.. mine were 10. As long as it is above 5 it’s okay. If it’s 5 or below then the chances of losing baby or supporting a baby are slim. To have a healthy and carry healthy baby this pregnancy they prescribed me a progesterone medicine. However, I just don’t trust medicine especially pregnant.. looking for natural ways to increase it without having to take a prescription.

Not sure if it fluctuates.. but I know stress is a factor and I went in with stress and anxiety. Had it all day yesterday.. so maybe that was the reason? Idk.
