Brief Answer:
This is normal.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Your progesterone levels in both the tests are within a normal range. Such a minor variation can be an instrumental error also. This does not signify a decreasing trend. It is best to get another test done after 7 days to see the trends. Such a minor variation is not conclusive of a decreasing trend. Please do not worry.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
