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.
