20922415 tn?1661860103 If pregnancy occurs, progesterone is produced in the placenta, and levels remain elevated throughout the pregnancy. The combination of high estrogen and progesterone levels suppresses further ovulation during pregnancy. Progesterone also encourages the growth of milk-producing glands in the breast during pregnancy. High progesterone levels are believed to be partly responsible for symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS), such as breast tenderness, feeling bloated, and mood swings.
Avatar f tn Your body needs to pass the baby completely for your levels to start going down again. I'm sorry but it's highly probable that you've might of lost this baby. Your levels should have doubled unless it was ectopic but I'm sure you would have been told.
1936698 tn?1333915193 At 31 weeks your hormone levels are not being looked at anymore. By hormone levels I think you mean HCG. In early pregnancy if a Dr. is trying to tell if you are pregnant or if they are unsure if you are having a miscarriage or not they will look at your HCG levels. These levels should double every 48-72 hours, if they do not it is usually a bad sign. After they can see baby on the Ultrasound and get a strong Heartbeat they will stop taking these HCG levels.
Avatar f tn Ok. I have had two miscarriages. The first one they said was because of the chromosomes. I was only seven weeks. The second time- everything seemed to be going fine. I thought I was about 10 weeks and I went to the emergency room and they said I needed to go see my ob. So I did the next day and we figured out that I had a blighted ovum and nothing was developing. Well I just found out two weeks ago I was pregnant. Well- I went to the er because I started having severe cramps and bleeding.

4974520 tn?1366757591 Oh okay well i had to ask the doctor what mine were because when they do test to confim ur pregnancy or for any reason to do with ur pregnancy they get the levels to see how it is progressing..
Avatar f tn I have low estrogen levels (102 and they said it should be around 150) and low progesterone levels (11? and they said it should be 15). During these results I was on folistim and then also progesterone pills. I had polyps removed 5 months ago and was told I had polypoid endometrium. Can't find anything on that topic though. What does this mean for my body in general as far as mood/health is concerned and how is my infertility directly related? Been TTC for 3 years...
Avatar m tn The ultrasound indicated that I was only about 4-5 weeks along so they started monitoring my hormone levels. In the 3 separate days of tests the doctors noticed that my levels were not increasing as they should and informed me that I would more than likely miscarry. The bleeding started two hours after the phone call. About 4 weeks later I returned to my doctor to make sure everything was going ok, as ok as these things can...
Avatar n tn are you sure how far along you are? is it possible that you are further in to your pregnancy than 8 weeks? I ask this because HCG levels during the first trimester will peak sometime around 9 to 12 weeks of pregnancy, at somewhere around 25,700 to 288,000 mIU/ml. By the final weeks of the first trimester week 13 and 14, hCG levels are finally on the decline, and will be at around 13,300 - 254,000 mIU/ml. From there, hCG levels tend to continue the downward change into the second trimester.
Avatar f tn Oh good times. Sorry to hear it's bad. Have you ever been told you may have an ovarian cyst? They usually are completely benign and simple cysts pass on their own. I think in another post you mentioned you had your thyroid checked and it was borderline low. Low or slow thyroid WILL mess up your period. I had slow thyroid in my 20's and I had periods every 3 to 4 months but I'd get pms the whole time at 3 weeks on until I got my period. So had the bloating, etc.
Avatar f tn t have any symptoms of low progesterone such as bleeding, spotting, really tender breasts. Any one else experience this? This is my 4th pregnancy and never had an issue with my hormone levels. Oh and I asked what my hcg levels were and she said they didn't check!! Isn't that the first thing you check on a pregnant woman??
Avatar f tn Someone please help/ My obgyn prescribed me with prometrium because there was a possibilty that a hormone in my body was low. The same day he prescribed the meds, he ordered some labs and put me on bed rest and had me schedule a follow up in a week. I got the medicine filled at the pharmacy but wasn't exactly comfortable with taking them because my doctor informed me that prometrium is not fda approved. I decided not to take the medication.
594189 tn?1386916607 I have an increase in testosterone can that be caused by the low pregesterone? Also my blood sugar is 104 is that really that bad and can the hormone imbalance cause that? Thanks in advance for all information. I really just want to have a baby.
Avatar f tn 025 I am not cutting them in half. the bidnign ingredients in the snythorid causes a lot of issues ith people and if you look up the side effects one of the rare ones is weight gain/. I was on it for 4 weeks stragiht and then went off a week and now back on my tsh leveel i just had done was 1.73 but he still wants it to be 1.0 so ha dme cut it in half and go from there.
Avatar n tn t due to go back until my pregnancy test 10/7. However, I was unhappy with several lapses in care that I received along the process so I switched and they immediately started doing my blood levels every 3-4 days. I guess it helps them to keep your hormones where they need to be to support pregnancy. From what the pharmacist told me, progesterone is the pregnancy hormone and will go up if pregnant and typically estrogen would too if it wasn't IVF.
Avatar f tn Hey, How long does it usually take for the pregnancy hormone to get out of your system after a MC? I called my Ob the other day and she said that as long as I wasn't bleeding then we could start ttc again. So, I was just wondering how long the hormone stays in your system.
797256 tn?1237636468 Hello, I am writing because I have lots of symptoms of PCOS and 5 years ago I went through fertiltiy and found that I have PCOS, but now 5 years later I had my hormone levels taken just by family doctor and they say they are normal but what is normal. Can anyone help me? I don't have periods, I grow hair in places you don't want and more here are the lab results from lab. Estradiol (estrogen) 26 pg/mL FSH 5.0 mIU/mL LH 12.2 mIU/mL These are the ones they have done. What does this mean?
Avatar f tn I also had an ultrasound that showed the yolk sack but no fetal pole/ heartbeat yet when i was 5 weeks 5 days. I go back for an ultrasound at 8 weeks. I am concerned about my low progestrone levels and worry that my pregnancy will not make it. Any advise or comments? I have 1 previous pregnancy and my son is now 4 1/2. Only issue during that pregnancy was blood pressure. I do not remember hearing ANYTHING about hormone levels etc.
Avatar f tn My doctor told me that my pregnancy hormone is low and also my progestrone hormone is low 4.48 so she put me today on Prometrium and will draw a blood test next week to see the hormones level .I 'm afraid about the baby's condition (having abnormal baby )and also even if the hormones levels after a week become normal what if something wrong happened to his developpment before taking the Prometrium.
Avatar f tn my hcg level was low in the beginning and then it doubled...but I still lost the baby due to heart beat stopped at 8weeks.
Avatar f tn Has anyone else had low hcg levels? I am only about 4 weeks or 5 pregnant I went in on Friday and today they came back low. I will go in tomorrow again. Anyone else going threw this? I got a early psotivive on a home pregnant test on day of period.
Avatar m tn I recently took some blood tests which show normal levels of IGF-1, Prolactin, Testosterone, Estradiol, but low levels of Luteinizing Hormone and low levels of Follicule Stimulating Hormone. Does this indicate anything?
10540048 tn?1410900069 If the multiple pregnancy tests are picking up the hormone then, CONGRATS!
Avatar n tn t understand that most patients taking thyroid hormone at a dosage adequate to relieve hypo symptoms will have suppressed TSH levels. This is a result of taking a full dose of thyroid hormone once or twice daily resulting in an equilibrium among TSH, FT4 and FT3 that is quite different from that with the usual continuous low flow of natural thyroid hormone in the untreated state.
Avatar f tn But that is not to say you will do the same by no means. Low progesterone can simply be you are really early in pregnancy. I would see an O.B. best wishes.
