Have your previous miscarriages been linked to low progesterone? If I were you I would get progesterone levels checked now. If it is too low your dr. will make a suggestion for adequate supplementation.....,there is a product called Crinone cream available, probably by prescription. I have never used it. I have always been on progesterone injections during the first three months of pregnancy. There are many natural progesterone supplements available made from wild yam extracts etc. I would not use these now without a dr's opinion on your status. Also many miscarriages are not a result of low progesterone but because of chromosomal abnormalities. Hope this helps and all the best.

Yes thank you :). I haven't been checked, with the Twin pregnancy
I thought it was because 1 baby had bleeding around it, and was told I could loose 1 or both.
Then few days later I lost them. Then I had a different DR b/c last Dr was full. This new DR didn't seem to
Be worried... And everything seemed to be going good my betas and at 7 wk 1 day seen the baby's hb and heard it through U/S he never did run any test. Not even my reg blood work yet.. I was getting to where I wasn't
Feeling to comfortable w/ this DR. Had like I'm busy oh well appoarch also did cosmetic
Procedures , a lot going on in his office & always new staff ppl. I started spotting I called couple of times, no
One ever called me back ! Then I lost the baby at little over 10 wks. DR had no Compassion & didn't answer any
Questions... Just walked out to his next patient. I'd been better off at a Veterinarian Dr. So now I'm just scared and looking for a DR. Praying & Praying

Your doctor can prescribe you progesterone suppositories. I had to use them with my second pregnancy until 12 weeks due to low levels or I would've lost him since the placenta wouldn't develop and take over on its own without it. I carried him to his due date and he was perfectly healthy. My very first pregnancy I found out and miscarried a week later. This was found to be due to the progesterone and not finding out in time early enough to get the suppositories. They are kinda expensive though and only certain pharmacies can make them because they have to be compounded. I just got pregnant with my 3rd pregnancy/would've been 2nd baby and I had to use them again as my progesterone was low again, but I ended up miscarrying a week later any way for some reason.
