Thread: Getting levels checked today

So you can add me to the spotting list! I started spotting just a bit on Saturday and had a small amount of pink in my underwear yesterday. Called the midwife who said I could come get my progesterone levels checked to see if they were normal. She said I could do some prog. supplements if they are low but I'm not sure I want to do that.
I was a little more worried yesterday but I haven't had any more spotting since yesterday morning and it's always been REALLY light so I feel better about that. I just hope it's not the very very beginning of a m/c. Anyway, I go in in the afternoon and I'm hoping the levels are normal and it's just a fluke thing.

Good luck. Kup

Seems a lot of spotting tends to happen around 6 weeks. I'm hope its nothing. I'm glad you got an appointment though. I will keep you in my thoughts today.

YES! I've never understood it. I'm terrified of weeks 5 and 6. That's when I started bleeding with DD, and I spotted on Sat. I wonder why?? It can't be a coincidence!

I hope everything works out okay. Hopefully its just progesterone and you can get some meds to fix it!

Ugg, these results are driving me mad! I have not had anymore spotting, it's totally gone, and I'm still feeling pregnant so I don't know why I'm so worried but I called this morning and my results weren't in and she said she'd call back and it's after 2pm. I called and left a message, I feel so worried about it.
Plus I drank way too much caffeine this morning. I haven't been drinking any coffee at all lately mostly because it's not been appealing to me but this morning I was feeling a little tired so I made myself a cup of Starbucks strong coffee and only drank half of it but then at lunch I had some tea, forgetting totally about the caffeine and now I feel really dizzy every time I get up! Ugg.

I go thru the waiting for the phone call every week and it stinks so bad!!!! I hope they call soon and with good news! Glad the spotting stopped!

I hope they call soon with good news about your numbers.

Any reason why you are thinking you might not want to do the progesterone supps if your progesterone is low? Just curious as I do the oral progesterone and haven't had any problems with it.

Well nothing to worry about, everything is great. Hcg is over 60,000 which is above the Max level for 6 weeks.
Who knows what the spotting is but at least I got to see my mw again after two years!

Wow I'm not familiar with numbers, but that sure sounds like a good one!

Wow! That's a great number!

Has the spotting slowed at all? I still have the tiniest bit, but I'm kind of over freaking out about it now.
