Q: Progesterone Dropping
A little backstory first: It turns out i'm closer to 5 weeks pregnant than the 6 + we originally thought. I had about 3 weeks of off-and-on brown spotting with two instances of bright red bleeding. BUT my hCG keeps on doubling and my ultrasounds went from nothing to a gestational sac that is growing like it should. However, my progesterone has gone from 7.6 to 5.5 over the course of those three weeks. Does this mean there's something wrong with the baby? A guaranteed miscarriage? Or is it still possible I can pull this pregnancy off (despite the rough start)? My doctor seems to think that progesterone supplements will just delay the inevitable, but Dr. Google tells me it could actually do the opposite and save a failing pregnancy. Any thoughts? Should I seek a second opinion?This question was asked May. 17, 2017 8:59pm
