Progesterone came back as 12nmol at 6 weeks

[Anotheranxiousone]

I put this in the pregnancy forum but think it might be better here.

Has anyone else had this? I got day 21 progesterone which came back as 30.2 indicating k had ovulated. Then had BFP few days later. BBT stayed high between then and now but I did a doesn’t progesterone when was 6 weeks and 1 day and my progesterone dropped to 12nmol. From reading it seems it should be around 65 for week 6. I’ve since miscarried. I spoke to a consultant at maternity clinic and they said the result isn’t relevant and that because I’ve carried a baby to term previously without issue or intervention I definitely don’t have a progesterone issue. It seemed to make sense when they explained it but having gone on to miscarry a few days after I’m now questioning this result and their advice. They were very experienced but I still feel like 12 is crazy low and must be involved in what has happened?

I am sorry for your loss ❤️.

Progesterone tests are all in relation to your own levels and a base line is first needed to know someones normal levels. My levels were 0.2 or something very low and i was told no ovulation, so i cried alot but ended up being pregnant a week later.

Progesterone would also drop prior to miscarriage as it helps sustain the embryo for until placenta takes over.

So having a low number wont mean thats what caused your miscarriage, or contributed to wards it

Thank you. Mine dropped to 12, I had a scan following day (by chance not because of any issues and at that point hadn’t got progesterone result back) and saw heartbeat but then began miscarrying the next day. I subsequently found out that my level was 12 a couple of days before I miscarried. But I’m confused since the day after that test was done I did have a positive scan so that’s what’s making me think the progesterone drop has caused the miscarriage :/
