Progesterone levels and gender?

[myrainbowgirl]

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere at some point that higher progesterone (p4) levels in early pregnancy may indicate girl? (I think I read that with my last pregnancy.) I am of course starting to obsess symptoms and levels and all that lovely stuff (will be 5 weeks tomorrow). My levels were

15 dpo - p4 - 45.4, hcg 297
19 dpo - p4 not checked, hcg 2427

Obviously, very happy with these numbers. :) Looking back at numbers with my boys, hcg is in the general ballpark (although on the higher side), but p4 is definitely higher this time. DS1: p4 = 24, DS2: p4 = 27, and DS3: p4 = 32.6

Anyone else have numbers they can share? Just curious! :)

Science tells us that progesterone is produced by corpus luteum (yellow body) in your ovaries which remains there for a few months following ovulation. It has nothing to do with the embryo itself or its gender.Placenta starts producing some progesterone at around 8-9 weeks of pregnancy. My progesterone levels have been low this pg, but this has nothing to do with sex of the baby, but rather with the fact that the I didn't ovulate when the embryo was transferred.
