That is really interesting? Did you ask why it is normal for it to dip? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-had-a-drop-in-progesterone-what-was-the-outcome#post-1705823 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 16:59:17 +0000 Running Elley 1705823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My numbers dropped at around that time too and my doctor said it was normal! I understand why you're nervous though- so was I!</p> <p>When do you have a follow up test? I think 25 is still a good number but if it dropped lower than that I'd be nervous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-had-a-drop-in-progesterone-what-was-the-outcome#post-1705819 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 16:56:29 +0000 FaithFertility 1705819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Snowdrop: Mine was 21 at 4 weeks and at 6weeks went to 17 my RE did start me on crinone but only because I already had from last IUI.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-had-a-drop-in-progesterone-what-was-the-outcome#post-1705660 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 15:30:45 +0000 Snowdrop 1705660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: really glad they are rising nicely for you :happy: </p> <p>@T.H.O.U.: I think that is what is worrying me, not the numbers as such, I know they are still ok, just the drop! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-had-a-drop-in-progesterone-what-was-the-outcome#post-1705140 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 12:03:35 +0000 swedishfish 1705140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Snowdrop: I started at 3.7 on inserts, went to 18.7 on inserts and injections and now to 20.8. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-had-a-drop-in-progesterone-what-was-the-outcome#post-1705077 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 11:40:12 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1705077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That doesn't sound too bad. Mine didn't really drop but they weren't really rising either so as a precaution I was put on progesterone. I hope your office helps you out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-had-a-drop-in-progesterone-what-was-the-outcome#post-1705052 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 11:30:28 +0000 spaniellove 1705052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Snowdrop: If they're obsessive they'll play it safe if they're remotely concerned, in my experience. I think the threshold for most clinics is in the teens but the conservative clinics like to see your numbers much higher! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-had-a-drop-in-progesterone-what-was-the-outcome#post-1705013 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 11:17:58 +0000 Snowdrop 1705013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: that is a rise for you isnt it? I'm trying to think that if I hadn't had any trouble I wouldn't even know all this stuff! It is hard tp trust your body again once it has let you down in the past. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-had-a-drop-in-progesterone-what-was-the-outcome#post-1704996 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 11:14:02 +0000 swedishfish 1704996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm also on support (endometrin inserts and PIO injections) and I just got the call that my progesterone was 20.8 yesterday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-had-a-drop-in-progesterone-what-was-the-outcome#post-1704989 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 11:10:54 +0000 Snowdrop 1704989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: i did have a couple of pieces of toast because I can't miss breakfast anymore but nothing big.<br /> @spaniellove: my clinic are really obsessive about progesterone too and I know I'll get a straight answer from them. I'll think about your LO ehen I get worried :happy:<br /> @MaryM: thanks for that info!<br /> @swedishfish: do you know how much fluctuation is normal? I just thought it would always rise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-had-a-drop-in-progesterone-what-was-the-outcome#post-1704960 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 11:00:40 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1704960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just a thought, last time you took the blood test, did you have a big meal first? I did that once and got a really low number (though not pregnant yet). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-had-a-drop-in-progesterone-what-was-the-outcome#post-1704943 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 10:56:13 +0000 spaniellove 1704943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My progesterone was pretty rocky! 29 to 25 isn't a significant drop and as long as they are on top of things you should be okay. 29 to something like 4 I might be more concerned about! But actually it's natural for it to vary a little throughout the day. </p> <p>Looking back at my numbers, I went from 55 to 54 to 47 and then when it dropped to 28 at 6 weeks I started injections. In the end it turned out okay since as you know baby is here! I'll be thinking of you!</p> <p>ETA: It wasn't because 28 was a bad number, it was because it dropped so significantly and my RE is obsessive about progesterone support. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-had-a-drop-in-progesterone-what-was-the-outcome#post-1704942 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 10:56:11 +0000 MaryM 1704942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would agree with SwedishFish. And I copied this from americanpregnancy.org:</p> <p>"In situations when there is a concern of an ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage, hCG levels will often start out normal, but will not show a significant increase or will stop rising all together, and progesterone levels will be low from the beginning."</p> <p>I think since you've had high levels, it's probably not a concern. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-had-a-drop-in-progesterone-what-was-the-outcome#post-1704933 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 10:54:08 +0000 swedishfish 1704933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Progesterone can fluctuate. 25 is still a good number. Don't worry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-had-a-drop-in-progesterone-what-was-the-outcome#post-1704907 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 10:46:07 +0000 Snowdrop 1704907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In a bit of a panic here, I'm on progesterone support and my first levels at 4+6 were 29 which I was very happy about and is above average but I just got my levels back for 6+6 and they are only 25. Now I know this is actually still average but the drop really worries me and I wont hear back from my doctor for a while. :sad: </p>
