Resolved question:
Hi,
I had my blood work done at 4 weeks 3 day pregnant and my levels came back hcg 2306, progesterone 23.4 ( I did not take progesterone supplements) and estrodiol 223. I had my blood work done again 72 hours later, HCG 7783 progesterone 33.4 (I took 200mg of progesterone supplement/day) and estrodiol at 194. Why did my esrodiol decrease? I'm having my blood work done again today but I want to be prepared for the results. Should I expect progestrone and hcg to go down too?
Thank you for your help.

Hello
Thanks for posting your query at DoctorSpring.com
See, the main thing to be seen in the blood work is the B HCG.
That is rising as it should.
The estradiol and progesterone will marginally fluctuate, do not read much into it.
And once you are 6 weeks, the blood work should stop , and rely on an ultrasound scan to know the viability of the baby.
Right now, the B HCG levels are fine, and that is all that matters.
You should next expect the B HCG levels to further rise, the progesterone and estradiol could vary.
All the best
Please feel free to discuss further.
Regards.
