Q: How quickly does progesterone drop?

I had a blood draw on Friday and my results came back at 8.5. I know that is low but I am being put on supplements. My concerns is that below a 6, the pregnancy is not viable. Could my levels have dropped that much between Friday (03/20/2015) and today (03/24/2015)?

I was put on progestrone at 4 weeks. I miscarried many many times. That is what saved my pregnancy this time! Hope it works out for you like it did for me! Keep your head up and say lots of prayers!!! The numbers can drop quickly but they can always rise quickly too!

Oh sorry thought I was answering to a friend of mine. However everything I said still stands about from your previous m/c history which I don't know about.

Yes it's possible for them to drop quickly. They can drop like HCG levels can. I hope they're started you the day you got results 8.2 as you said is very low. Progesterone doesn't always save a pregnancy if it's not ment to be and there are chromosome abnormalities it will diminish on its own.
I think you will be okay this time, praying for you anyway, your've had your run of bad luck last time. Praying for you. Just get that progesterone started asap along with baby aspirin to thin the blood which can also be helpful and cause no halm. Ask you OB. Good luck sweetie x
