instruction: hello doctor I had a miscarriage two months ago resulting in a dand at 10 weeks I am now pregnant weeks and days and taking 400 my progesterone suppositories once per day due to low progesterone levels both in the last pregnancy and in the weeks leading up to the confirmation of this pregnancy however my doctor has told me that my estradiol is very low and that is concerning me my results so far 14 do hug 69 l progesterone nmol estradiol 20 pmol two days later 16dpo yesterday hug 129 l progesterone 75 nmol estradiol 239 pmol is my pregnancy doomed because of my very low estradiol I was hoping my doctor would prescribe estrogen medication but he does not seem to think that would be an option why would he decide that do you think estrogen supplementation would help instead he is having me take 25 my daily of dhea do you think this will help and is it safe to take in pregnancy will eating foods high in phytoestrogens g soy help increase my estradiol also do you think my low hug levels are a bad sign at 12dpo they were 15u so they increased rapidly to 69u on day 14 but then slowed a bit to get to 129u on day 16 I am due for another blood test tomorrow I really do not want to lose this pregnancy but these low numbers are making me worry
output: hello welcome to iclinq com I saw your concern the normal levels of estradiol in early pregnancy can vary from 188 to 2400 pmol similarly progesterone can vary from 12 to 90 nmol hug human chorionic gonadotropin has doubled which happens only in a healthy growing fetus with good trophoblastic activity do not worry much about estradiol it has no big significance in treating previous early miscarriages everything looks normal continue progesterone for gluteal support and prenatal vitamins as prescribed above all stay positive and confident
