I'm just not sure if this is something to be worried about but I'm a nervous nelly with my first "miracle" pregnancy here... I've had 3 ultrasounds and baby looks GREAT - CRL right on, my hcg is up to 210,000 (has been increasing nicely) but today at 8W4d my progesterone dropped from 36 last week to 25 today. That seems substantial. It was also at a different time of day and I heard meals can affect the p4 levels.
I messaged my nurse who like always will probably say "don't worry!!"
Thoughts? Does progesterone dip around the 8-10 week mark?

Bump?

I would not be concerned. My progesterone varied especially if I tested it at a different time of day. You are still at a great level. It's totally normal for it to vary some. Are you on supplements?

25 is still a great number! It's only concerning if it dips below 11 or 12.

@pachamama: I had a dip down to around 10, sometime around 9 weeks. They put me on progesterone supplements, but said it's fairly normal for progesterone to fluctuate from week to week. I had to get it checked weekly until I was 13 weeks after that. I'm now 18 weeks and everything looks great!

I would agree that 25 is still a great number!

@raintreebee: Yes, I am actually.... 200mg endometrin per day. I went it at a time in the morning I don't usually go in and I had just eaten. The nurse said even what I ate could make a difference...
Thanks!
