Very low progesterone

[Anonymous]

Just had my pregnancy confirmed at OB's yesterday, but progesterone is really really low - 7.5. Am on supplements now, but just wondering if anyone else had had something so low, take supplements, and go on to have a healthy db? Or is this really low number basically a sign the pregnancy's already over?

My progesterone was 12 at 8 weeks and I started a very low dose of prometrium (only 100mg once a day) and it bumped my levels up significantly very quickly. I bet you're on 200mg once or twice a day, right? Your levels will jump, and you should be fine. FWIW, I was more concerned about my tanking progesterone levels than my OB was -- he said he was more concerned with my betas and the sonos (b/c the baby was developing well). I saw your post in the expectant moms forum and noticed that you are only newly pregnant -- so it sounds like your doc caught this early and started you on the progesterone -- and that's great! Is your doc bringing you in for follow-up bloodwork (for progesterone) and a sono? That should put your mind at ease.
