Had my HCG and Progesterone run....

I'm pretty worried. I'm 4 weeks 2 days pregnant. My hcg was 99.4 and my progesterone was only 6.5. The nurse is in contact with the OB to get me progesterone supplements. Is it to late to try to save this pregnancy?

.. I hope not Jackie.

Hopefully you'll hear from the nurse or OB soon and they're able to easy your mind a little. You're in my thoughts and i'm hoping for a healthy, uneventful 9 months for you.
I'm sorry you're even having to consider these possibilities again ..

I don't come on the boards anymore, so I am just learning the news.   I hope everything works out and that you continue to have a sticky bean.  

My doctor told me as long as it was above 4 it could be saved. Hopefully they get you on the suppositories soon.

Good Luck,
Emily

I hope not. But the prometrium vaginal inserts at 50% more absorbed than the oral pills. So, just make sure it is the vaginal inserts.

Keeping my fingers crossed!

Traci,
She is giving me one that is oral or vaginal. So be honest with me. What are my chances of actually having a baby?


Jackie

I am not a doctor so I can't give you chances nor can I get you an educated discussion on it. If it were me, I would start taking the pills immediately. Did they want you to take it two times a day to raise the number? What pill and dosage did they prescribe?

Just remember you can't control what happens with the baby. Even on progestrone, I lost a baby. So, just try to take it one day at a time.

I know you are worried and I know you want a baby. Just do what you can control and the rest is out of your hands!  You are in my prayers!!

I understand ty Traci.....This is all just so new to me. I don't understand how I had a healthy child 10 years ago and now I'm having issues. Granted I was 20 then and now I'm 30 but....I don't think I'm to old for having kids :(
They have me on 200 MG once daily at bedtime. And it's a oral. I go in on Fri to run my HCG and my progesterone again. So we shall see how it looks then. And the pill is prometrium.

I was on prometrium and it was an oral pill that the doctor wanted inserted vaginally to be better absorbed. I would ask your doctor about it. Mine didn't have to be refrigerated or anything. My RE always has me on progestrone.

I'm sorry you're facing these worries again.  The one thing I'd question w/the oral progesterone is if you had RNY, could you possibly not absorb enough of it?  The progesterone I've been on is 100 mg 3x a day, vaginally.  Not that it's helped me get pg...but supposedly it might help me stay that way when/if it happens again.

I kinow what you mean about not understanding how you could have had a healthy pg years ago and so many problems now.  I had my son almost 15 years ago (15 in April) and had no problems at all...worked until the week before he was born, stopping only because my friends were nagging me to go home! and now (though I'm older than you) I can get pg relatively easily...just can't stay that way.

Hang in there...and I'd ask your dr about sending you to a high risk OB/GYN to see what they'd recommend.
