I am taking progesterone capsule vaginally my pregnancy test is positive is it because of progesterone capsule?
No. Pregnancy tests detect the hormone hcg which your body produces when you are pregnant. Progesterone would not be picked up on a pregnancy test. If your test came back positive, you are pregnant. See a doctor to confirm.
Do progesterone and estrogen contain the pregnancy hormone?
No. Although estrogen and progesterone are needed to promote pregnancy, the main hormone of pregnancy, itself, is HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin). As pregnancy progresses, HCG rises.
What is the hormone responsible for pregnancy?
HcG is tested for pregnancy.HcG stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin.
You have 8.5 progesterone level at 5 weeks pregnancy you have been put on Progesterone supplement Can you carry a full term pregnancy with a progesterone supplement?
It's very promising. You should be given progesterone supplements in the form of vaginal suppositories, which is suppose to be the most effective method. (Other options include oral pills or by injection.) Make sure your HCG and progesterone blood levels are monitored every two days to be certain a healthy doubling of HCG is occurring, and also to adjust the progesterone dose accordingly.
What causes your period to stop hcg or progesterone?
Elevated levels of progesterone is what causes your period to stop, but hcg plays a role in that too, as it is the presence of hcg (from implanted embryo) that tells the corpus luteum to keep pumping out the progesterone after the normal luteal phase length. If there is no hcg detected the corpus luteum tapers down progesterone production after about 14 days and the endiometrial lining starts to break down when the progesterone no longer is present to support it.
Is it ok if your progesterone level decreases but your hcg still doubles during early pregnancy?
No, I don't believe it's "okay." While the hcg doubling indicates the fetus may be healthy, your body not producing enough progesterone could cause a miscarriage. If your progesterone levels are falling, speak with your doctor or midwife immediately about going on progesterone supplements, namely in the form of vaginal suppositories. Once you reach the twelve week mark, the placenta takes over the production of progesterone, no longer relying on your ovaries to do so.
Is it bad that at 5 weeks pregnant your HCG level is 650 and your Progesterone level is 6?
Your progesterone needs to be over 20. I would ask IMMEDIATELY for progesterone cream, shots, or oral. If you are in the early stages of five weeks your hcg beta is perfect.
Is a progesterone of 24.6 and HCG of 28.7 ok at apx 3-4 weeks pregnant?
If the progesterone is 24.6 is the femal pregnant?
Do birth control pills affect hcg levels?
No. Birth control is made with estrogen and progesterone hormones. The pregnancy tests look for HCG, a completely different hormone. If you have enough HCG in your system, it will show on the test, regardless of how much or how little estrogen or progesterone you have inside your system.
What hormone is produced by placental cells?
estrogen, progesterone, relaxin, HCG and HCS
Can an IUD contain hcg?
There are no birth control pills on the market in 2013 that contain hCG.
How does progesterone effect the body?
Progesterone levels rise after ovulation to protect the fertilized egg and to prevent the uterine lining from shedding allowing the fertilized ovum to implant in the lining. Progesterone protects the zygote until hCG kicks in after implantation.
