Hey Lisa - I just thought I woudl do a little research for you to maybe help you out a little bit. According to the website Just Mommies normal progesterone levels for the first trimester are anywhere between 9 and whatever. It does say that most doctors like to see a minimum of 10 during the first few weeks of pregnancy. They said that there is no upper end to progesterone levels in pregnancy. I hope this helps. I do remember that during my first pregnancy in 2000 mine never went above 6 and my doctor wanted it to be at least 8 to start with. That pregnancy ended with a blighted ovum and I had ot have a d&c. But as I said my progesterone level never made it to 8 where my doctor would not have been as concerned. He also sated to me then that he had seen women with low progesterone levels go on to have normal healthy pregnancies. Also just to let you know that my HCG also was not doubling as it should have either. I really hope this helps you out a little and puts your mind somewhat at ease. Talk to you later.

Lisa - no complaints at 16 weeks. Yes amazing would be a great word for it. Just different looking really is all. I am a heavier person to begin with so my belly is starting to round so I don't just look fat anymore. Weird things going on with the skin. Bloody noses some mornings, bleeding gums every tooth brushing, and increased CM that had me rushing to the labor and delivery thinking I was leaking fluids. Very interesting time of the pregnancy. Best wishes and you are in my prayers today. Talk to you soon. Thank you very much for you compliments they meant a lot. I am just trying to put your mind at ease a little. Take care!!!
