I am 42 years old and 16 weeks pregnant. I have had four first trimester losses (before nine weeks). I am MTHFR compound hetero (C677 and 1298). I am on Lovenox, folgard, synthroid, progesterone suppositories 400, D3-1000, iron, and multivitamins. I asked my high risk doctor to test my progesterone levels and he refused. I was able to get it tested through another doctor and my levels at 15 weeks+4 days were 24.39. I am concerned that the number is low, especially with the 400 progesterone suppositories that I have been taking. I looked at various web sites and it shows the range for 2nd trimester to be either 17-50 or 25-90. I went back to my reproductive endocrinologist (RE) and he said to continue the suppositories. Do you think that my number is particularly low?
Thank you so much!
