So I went in for my first beta yesterday and my hCG levels were where I would expect them at 125, but my progesterone level was only 7.9. It should be over 10 at minimum and really above 15 to be “safe” so to speak. I am extremely worried as one would expect but I am really trying to keep positive about it all.
Last time around the low progesterone level was an indicator that the pregnancy might be ectopic or that I may be miscarrying. It was only at 3.4 then so way too low to think that it might be a healthy pregnancy. This time, the higher number (plus the fact that I haven’t bled at all) gives me hope. Now, I am still running to the bathroom every few hours just to make sure that I’m not bleeding but still, I am trying to be as hopeful as possible.
I go in for another beta tomorrow. They said that I can go anytime I want so since I’m not sleeping well anyways, I think that I will go in at 7 am so that I can get results around 9 am when my doctor gets in. I know that this won’t give me all the answers that I want, but I think that it will give me hope if my hCG levels are doubling normally. That plus maybe I will be able to convince my Dr. that I need an ultrasound right away to rule out another ectopic pregnancy and get some answers!!
