Progesterone drop within a weeks time??- 5 weeks pregnant

May 19, 2008

Dr. Q and ladies..

I had another progesterone check today, my last lab test was done last monday. My progesterone level last monday was 35. The Doctor said that was Awesome. Today, I went back in and had it checked again and now my level is 26. In my opinion this is a pretty big drop. The nurse told me not to worry about it that atleast I am over 20- and all a person needs to sustain a pregnancy is 20. I can't help but be concerned! Of course the Dr. is out ill today- so I was only able to talk to the nurse, and they HOPE the doctor will be in tomorrow. My question is- is it OKAY for a progesterone level to drop thta much in one week??? Could this be an indication of a problem?? Any other pregnant ladies out there have this happen to them??? Help! Please!!!!

I'm sorry mine did not drop but mine was awful low, 16. But my pregnancy was successful so try and hang in there until you can talk to your doc or until Dr. Q can answer. I'm thinking about you and your little one and praying for you both :)

Not to worry, Progesterone values do fluctuate and still very much ok..

Thanks Dr. Q. So this decrease is not necessarily an indication of a miscarriage soon to happen?

Is it possible for my levels to go back up on their own?
