Too early to test: A negative result on a test done too early is not reliable. You may wish to repeat the test in a week or so.

I am quite concerned about my progesterone levels. At 6w1d pregnancy I had a test result with 33.5 nmol/l, my doc said it is slightly low and put me on utrigestan 200 mg. She was happy with hcg levels. Is is slightly low or is it badly low?
