progesterone levels

Hi, I am new to LI Families but excited to be a part of it. I am 5 weeks pregnant. Last week my dr told me my progesterone levels were on the low end of normal and suggested I take a suppliment (vaginal)... he said it can't hurt. I was 4 weeks 5 days when test was done and my level was at 15. I looked onlne and the normal level are from 9-47 during 1st trimester. Has anyone had to take something like this with these kinds of numbers?

Re: progesterone levels

I was told I had low progesterone at 5 weeks as well. I was spotting. My level was 9. The OB told me they at least like to see 10, so I'm guessing 15 not too bad. I have taking progesterone suppositories twice a day for almost 6 weeks now. I'm just about done with them. OB said I could stop taking them around 10-11 weeks which I'm at now.

Re: progesterone levels

I had low progesterone and was on the suppositories until 12 weeks. No biggie, just messy...wear a panyliner.

Re: progesterone levels

I am taking Prometrium which is a pill. Take it once a day until I am 10 weeks. My level was 15 but because I had a m/c my Dr wanted to have it a little higher.

Re: progesterone levels

I was on projesterone either suppository or shot until week 10.

Congrats! Welcome

Re: progesterone levels

I'm taking progesterone in oil injections daily. My #s last week at 4 weeks, 5 days was 69.7. My Dr said when on supplements they typically see levels between 25 and 100.

I remember when I was pregnant with and not on anly supplements, my Progesterone at 6 weeks was 30.

Re: progesterone levels

Yes. My progesterone never went higher than a 7 in the first trimester. I was on progesterone (a pill form) until 10 weeks.
