Ivf treatment eggs taken 15 days which I believe is classed as ovulation hcg was 265 with Progest 120 last bloods done based on 17 days hcg 588 and Progest 120 still. I am on cyclogest 400mg and I understand this will increased levels but I
was really concerned that this was extremely high. I am also experiencing constipation and stomach upset in that my stomach is sore to touch and I have gas from both ends all the time with Hugh pain.
Firstly is the 120 Progest level normal at this stage and secondly the sore stomach is this normal

Hi,
Welcome to ehealthforum.
Rising values are good as they signify progression of pregnancy. But if the rise is not in correspondence with gestational age, then it can signify other serious issues. Discuss with your gynecologist about your symptoms and about getting repeat levels checked to see if the rise is proportionate or not.
If the rise is not proportionate, possibility of multiple pregnancy might be present. Another possibility of very rapid rise could be a molar pregnancy. An ultrasound scan done will help in differentiating between the two.
The sore stomach and pain along with higher levels of hormones could support chances of multiple pregnancy.
Take care.
