Guest guest Posted March 5, 2001 Report Share Posted March 5, 2001 - Congratulations, that's a great number! I am so happy for you and . I hope the injections will help your progesterone too. I heard that serum progesterone results are not very reliable. First, you have to take in in the morning, and on an empty stomach - after a meal, progesterone can drop by 1/2. Also, most of the progesterone circulates around the uterus, where it's needed and not in the blood stream. a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2001 Report Share Posted March 5, 2001 Hi , That's great news about your positive beta! I've heard that the progesterone you receive via suppositories isn't fully reflected in the blood because it goes straight to the uterus. So, your level is probably higher than what your blood test showed. Prometrium (the pills) do go into the blood however. Hope your levels pick up soon. Did your doctor seem at all concerned? I've had many progesterone issues in the past--so I know it can be scary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2001 Report Share Posted March 5, 2001 , Oh Wow! I just read your e-mail. So you guys are preg.? Yeah, I am so excited for you. I know you must be so happy-excited. Have you told dh yet? And wow you get to do an u/s next week! I am so happy to hear some good news. ----Keri > > Hi Everyone, > I ended up going to a local hospital for bloodwork (hcg, progesterone, estrodial) because I couldn't get out in time to make it to my doctor's for same day results. After that I drove to the doctors to do a smear test. My hcg is 213!!!! Which seems really amazing to me, because it was only 26 with the ep. My progesterone was low, and the smear test showed that the progesterone was not clumping properly, so in addition to suppositories, I'm back on oral progesterone and received a shot. My doctor sent me home with a little care package of needles, progesterone, etc. for the next 2 shots. He also redid the progesterone bloodwork just to verify the hospital's results. If the hospital is accurate in processing, I'll be able to go there in 3 days to have the test repeated, rather than driving 90 minutes. > > So, I guess it's official, I'M PREGNANT!!!!! Next week we'll do an u/s to see how many there are. > maria > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
