having a hard time staying positive/optimistic
I always have low progestrone, but I have had shots to get them bumped up and inserts to keep them up, we'll can't get shots anymore (thanks government) and it went from 18 to 11 then down to 5.9 and today was 8.6. Hcg has been rising but sliwly. Was 18000 last week and today was 26000. We have seen the hear beat 2ce. But that really doesn't keep ne confident. So I go back next Monday for another blood draw. We haven't gotten accurate dating yet but I am saying about 8.1 weeks I suppose to have dr on July 11th with an accurate dating but I don't wanna go another 3 weeks without us. I don't wanna have a missed misscarriage and not know for 2-3 weeks.

If it makes you feel better, my RE doesn't test Progesterone anymore. They just supplement everyone w oral Progesterone taken vaginally until 8 weeks (10 for me because of previous miscarriages). She said that there are studies now that show that Progesterone levels vary so much during the day and from day to day, it's not even worth testing. I found some peer reviewed articles to support that and my regular OB said that the RE is on cutting edge.
I know it's so hard, but try to stay positive and optimistic. Take care of yourself and don't drive yourself crazy with numbers. I pray that you'll have a happy and healthy 9 months!

Because they were going off first u.s and baby was measuring too small to get accurate measurment. I was measuring under 6 weeks and knowing I was about 3 when I got my positive it's not possible to be under 6 weeks. They usually wait till 10 weeksvtovdate. My old o,b did it around 8 weeks. Between the 8-10 weeks is the best time to date pregnancy since it's not as accurate when do small or so big. The other u.s, I had was even more off then the first so I will hued wait to see what my next u.s says. Most drs will give estimates off hcg and when you had your last period but my last prior and known ovulation timing is off as well. So right now e are assuming I was 6 weeks at that first u.s, which will put me atb9.2 weeks now.
Hcg got up to 37,000 and progestrone stayed at 8. Since around this time hcg starts leveling off and hopefully 10 weeks your body starts making progestrone more they are not longer doing blood tests and I have dating ultrasound and first real ob apt (not 1st info apt) on July 11th.
Started getting more morning sickness so feeling a little more confident.

I thought that once Baby was big enough to see on scan that HCG levels were irrelevant. How come they can't date you with the ultrasound?
