Dr. Jacobs:
I have a history of recurrent miscarriage am now 7 weeks pregnant. My hcg numbers seem to be doubling at a good rate going from 89 to more than 52,000 in just over 2 weeks. But, my progesterone and estradial levels seem low in comparison to others. The blood results have been Prog. Est. 10/25 24.2 233 10/29 27.7 233 11/1 46.2 308 11/5 53 325 11/12 45.4 508
I am on progesterone suppositories and pills and am concerned as to why the progesterone level went down and if it is high enough. What role does the estradial play and what are the appropriate ranges? Also, when does the hcg doubling rate begin to slow down? This is usually around the time that I miscarry and I'm a bit nervous.
Thank you for your time, Julie
