I was just reading up on This and it said your hcg levels reach their peak at 8-10 weeks and then they can Start declining. I'm glad your baby is doing well! I get to find out in the morning if my baby is doing well. I'm 8+2

There is a point in pregnancy at which HCG levels start to drop. I just can't remember approximately what gestational age that occurs. I will check on that and repost.

All your doctor about taking progesterone.  I had to take it until I was 21 weeks because my body doesn't produce enough of it to sustain a pregnancy on its own.  I have poly cystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and had miscarriages because of that (& a bicornuate uterus)
