How do folks know their exact progesterone number?

Question

My 2nd pregnancy and I was never aware that anyone was checking my levels. Is this routine? How and when is it checked? I assume by OB/GYN?

Answer

My physician drew blood to test hcg levels and progesterone at 3 weeks, 4 weeks, and 5 weeks since I have a history of miscarriage and my low progesterone was picked up at the 4 week set. 3 weeks it was 19 and at 4 weeks it dropped to 14 by 5 weeks it had picked up to 24! Hope this helps!

Answer

When they draw blood at your appointments is when they check it

Answer

Yes, you’d get a blood draw. I don’t remember getting it with my first pregnancy, but since I have a history of pregnancy loss I ask for it now!
