Question

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

Dont quote me but Im sure progesterone is low after a miscarridge but at least you know and if you take medication that will mimic the hormone its good GL xxxx


I have 6 children 3 girls 3 boys 2 miscarriges 8 weeks(1997) and 18.5 weeks (8th march 2013) http://www.countdowntopregnancy.com/res/img/forum/emoticons/baby_dust.gif

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! :)

Has anyone ever had a successful pregnancy with levels this low? Do the progesterone pills always work ? I'm just so sad I don't think I can handle another loss.

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!
