Has bloods due to prior ectopic and they are low 234 HCG and 17.4 progesterone

Nurse says need to be go back in 48 hours to see what's happening

It could be that I will miscarry as progesterone is very low or could be another ectopic

The waiting is so hard

I'm terrified of another ectopic. I had a tube removal last year

hugs fingers are crossed for you that it isn’t an ectopic. Do you have any reason to believe it might be other than the progesterone?

I’m not in the same position as you, but would it be comforting to know that my doctor told me I was very unlikely to be able to maintain a pregnancy without treatment because my progesterone was too low, and I’m currently 30 weeks with twins? I did have some early miscarriages (presumably due to the progesterone issue), but my fingers are crossed you have good luck this time.

Can you be given anything to boost progesterone? Although I never actually got treatment (lockdown interrupted! Wasn’t considered a necessary medical appointment) my GP had told me That there were options to support pregnancy in cases of low progesterone.

Thanks @crazychemist

The nurse said the levels were low so it wasn't good news. She seemed very concerned about the progesterone especially so I'm expecting to miscarry at some point

I just really don't want more ectopic surgery!

I have my next bloods today and results Monday

Had scan too and they couldn't see anything in uterus but also couldn't see an ectopic but I am having discomfort in the tubeless side
