Worried About My Baby

The dr. called me to say that my
progestrone levels are falling. He's
putting me on progestrone twice a day and
I have an ultrasound scheduled for
Wednesday.
I'm trying not to stress.
I feel great despite that. He said it may
just be an ovary that's not working
properly.

As long as they catch it (which they did)
low progesterone levels are nothing to
worry about. Many women are on
progesterone supplements in the first tri.
And you get a sneak peek at your little
one!

I'm sure the baby is fine. Don't stress
because it effects the baby! I'll pray
that everything is okay in there

I'll be 6 weeks on Monday. My levels were
16 last week and 14 this week. I took the
first dose a few hours ago and it made me
really dizzy. I hope it doesn't do that
everytime I take it.
Thanks girls! I'm going to bed. We have
a busy day tomorrow.
We ended up not going to the game tonight.
We left too late and ended up at outback.

What dose did they give you? Are you
taking it twice a day or once?

i don't get those numbers. i'm only
familiar with the number that's supposed
to double every 2 days (i don't know what
it's called).
so what should your levels be?

Bridget is the word your looking for
"beta" That's what my doc called it for me
when they were checking my levels.
I am sure that everything will be
fine...try not to stress too much,
although that is easier said than done

It's prometrium 200 mg twice a day
bridget, i don't know what it's suppose to
be, but i've read on other forums that
some people have a 12 at 6 weeks and
aren't even taking anything for it.
He's just concerned more that it dropped
rather than it being sorta low.

The twice a day is hard. If you only had
to take it once a day I would tell you to
take it before bed. It always made me very
very tired.
You'll start feeling it work pretty
shortly (maybe tomorrow?) All those lovely
pregnancy symptoms will get worse 10 fold.

Are you taking it orally or vaginally.
Vaginally seems to absorb better but both
ways do work. My doc wants the
progesterone levels at 17 in your first
trimester. 14 is not bad though.
