Hi Kim......Im not a Dr but im kinda in the same boat as you......worrying about my progesterone. Im 6w6d PG and progesterone at 6w2d was 12.19. The nurse told me the normal is 11-90 in 1st trimester but Im still really nervous that im on the low side of normal. Im also nervous b/c Ive heard so many people say over 15 is good. I had a m/c in August due to a blighted ovum (sac w/ no baby) at 6w5d and just passed that date yesterday. Im a nervous reck and Im so nervous and will be until I see a u/s with a baby and a heartbeat and make it out of first trimester. Best of luck. I did post yeterday about Low Progesterone concerns if you want to scroll down a bit on the board. Best of Luck!!! Jenn
