Low progesterone :(
I recently suffered a miscarriage and became pregnant again. I'm 12dpo and had my bloodwork done. My hcg level was 57 and my progesterone was only 6 te doctor put me on medication for the low progesterone. I'm just wondering if anyone has had a healthy pregnancy after such low levels ??? I'm so scared to miscarry again

It's very low, but just take the supplements and those will definitely help. My doctor had me on 900mg which is a crazy amount. They like to see 20 in early pregnancy. Mine was 270!! Vaginally is better for absorption than orally but check with your dr. on which s/he recommends. It should increase your progesterone very quickly. Congrats on getting pg again so fast! :)

I had the same issue. I suffered two miscarriages and then found out they were due to low progesterone. I got pregnant again and was put on progesterone supplements for the first trimester. I now have a healthy two year old boy and just had my progesterone checked today because we are trying for another! I recommend being put on progesterone monthly before ttc. This will help you conceive as well as carry through with the pregnancy if you do tend to have low levels. I would be more concerned with the low HCG levels... hope that goes up a bunch. Either way, try to stay calm... my progesterone was lower than yours and my baby is healthy, happy, and wild! Good luck!
