Got my first beta results.. is my progesterone low?

[badtzmaru22]

For a non-medicated cycle, a progesterone level of 10 is good.

ETA: So, congrats!! Those numbers look great to me!

No. I had heard 12 as problematic I think.

Mine got down to 6.7 which is very low and I had to be medicated.

Congrats! I was always on supps so my clinic wanted it at 20 but I've heard anything over 10 is fine if you're having a natural cycle.

I had a progesterone level of 10 both pregnancies. The first one I took suppositories. The second I did not. I had different doctors, so they had different recommendations. Both resulted in healthy children. I will say that dealing with the suppositories was no fun and I would not take them unless my doctor thought they were medically necessary.

They do? anyone take suppositories as a precaution? I have a checkup tomorrow for another beta. I wonder if I should request.

Mine was 18 at my 4 week beta so I am on suppositories just in case.

Your hcg is really high for 4 weeks. Mine was like 175 but maybe a few days earlier like 14dpo

I would have killed for a progesterone level that high

I think mine was 14 and my re put me on one suppository nightly until 10 ish weeks I think.

Mine was 16 for both of my kids and I used suppositories as a precaution (PCOS). A little messy but NBD.

So weird but my current RE does not test progesterone or do supplements. They don't see it as significant due to new research.

That's really odd to me. All of my pregnancies I lost were due to low progesterone. Once I went on suppositories and PIO I was able to be successful to the second tri when the placenta picked up the slack.

OP I think that's a great number! My RE likes to see over 20 only when medicated but if it stays around 16 then you should be good!

Mine doesn't either unless you have had a previous miscarriage. I insisted because I'm paranoid.
