Progesterone question

[nellsbells]

Hi ladies, thought I would run a question by you informative lot if thats ok? If my progesterone levels have been fine pre conception, is there any reason to assume that they wouldn't be post conception, ie should i have levels now that I'm pg (5wks) ?? Could that be why I've M/c twice?? Would love to hear your thoughts. Thankyou

nell - i would suggest you get a hcg and progesterone BT from your GP asap - if for no other reason than to put your own mind at ease in regard to levels. unfortunately, early miscarriages come from a lot of reasons - given your were at 10 and 11 weeks, i would think it's not related to progesterone as this is the point where your placenta takes over

get yourself into care for this pregnancy asap and ask them to monitor you closely because of these losses

take care - congratulations! - and good luck!

Thanks briggsygirl, whilst i carried to 10 and 11wks, my angels were only 8w4d and 9w3d, could that suggest prog problems?? thanks

nellsbells - My Miscarriages were due to a progesterone problem which had me on progesterone injections up until i was 26wks preg i think - than my placenta had taken over and i no longer needed the injections!
I reccomend that you always get BT for HCG and Progesterone - and even get regular BT too keep an eye on bth levels!

if they were earlier losses it is possible that progesterone played a part in it so i would definitely get into proper pre-natal care (not just a GP cos sometimes they just don't get it) as soon as you can. if you can't get into an OB yet, a GP that spends a lot of time working on shared care cases would be a smart move...
