IMO, 15 is low..........i had 13.1 and began prog. supplements at 6 weeks pg........

i don't think prog. increases like hcg does......in fact, it can even vary throughout the day! but 15 is on the low side, so you may consider the supps.......i understand your hesitation, but it's still a debate on whether prog. supps. help or not.......so why not do all you can to save your baby just in case??

i'm interested to see what the dox say.........:D
