Hi,
Thanks for sharing your health concern with us. If you are not on any external progesterone supplements, the progesterone levels are high enough to suspect pregnancy. Yet, the serum beta-hCG titres also should correlate which is not observed here. I agree with your nurse that the titres be repeated after a week. In addition, a trans-vaginal/pelvic sonogram performed at that stage will be of much help to come to a conclusion. I also observe that the progesterone levels during mid-cycle are also higher than usual. This should be further evaluated by an expert. Hope this helps.
