Very much so low progesterone could have been a factor. Mine was at 8 for my last pregnancy. I was placed on Progesterone Supplements. Very easy to take care of this problem. You will have to be on suppositories (or that's how most docs do it) until the placenta completely takes over...around 12-15 weeks. Don't know the answer to the second question. Only thing I can tell you is to pray if you are religious.
Am I just setting myself up for disaster again??? Is it so rare to JUST have low progesterone??? Has anyone just had low progesterone and taken pills and you were fine??
Please help - I'm really scared right now that I am setting myself up for a delayed miscarriage.
Also, could anyone tell me what really could be causing the low progesterone?
Thanks so much!!!
Baby dust to all.
I have symptoms, but the doctor has a presription for prometrium on hold for me awaiting these results. Any thoughts??
My blood work shows positive result but the doctor said that my progesterone level is very low (6.5). I was advised to take prometrium. has anyone had a similar experience?? thanks!
Prometrium is to help raise the progesterone to aid in implantation of the baby. It is taken the day after Ovulation and till the period occurs. Now as it raises the progesterone it can delay your period if you are not pregnant as during the luteal phase (after ovulation) your progesterone will decrease and estrogen levels will rise talling your body to shed the uterine lining causeing yoru period to occur. When you take suppliments the progesterone stays up and may not fall till stopped.
Has anyone's doctor said they're progesterone level was low & was put on Prometrium????
My HCG levels are good but progesterone levels are low. Like it was 6.9 on 10th day post ET and went down to 5.0 on 13th day. I am worried, but my HCG levels went up from 104 to 434 on the 13th day. Does anybody know why it is dropping? I am taking crinone 8% gel twice a day. Please let me know if anybody experienced the same kind of situation.
I pretty much knew on my own I had low progesterone from my last miscarriage in July and because they wouldn't prescribe anything until more bloodwork the next time I was pregnant I took matters into my own hands a little and decided to use progesterone cream as I had read a lot about it and saw the positive effects... Most likely the reason I've held onto this one so far I'm only 4 weeks 2 days and progesterone level was 16.11 they want above 20 and hcg was 295...
I can't answer most of your questions I can only say that I've read many stories of women who have taken progesterone and carried to term, having healthy babies. Progesterone will only help if low progesterone levels are what's causing the m/c's. If it's chromosomal abnormalities or other things, progesterone most like will NOT stop a m/c from happening.
Hello-to anyone out there that can help calm my nerves. I am pregnant with my fourth child and suffer severe anxiety. Was told by my OB that I have "borderline" low progesterone and wants me to take 200 mg of prometrium by mouth at night. I am VERY sensitive to meds and pick out all side effects...
Im 5 weeks and my progesterone levels are low. My dr. Prescribed progesterone but Im scared of a miscarriage. Anyone else take progesterone? ?
Anyone have to take the progesterone lozenges for low progesterone??? I had a m/c in November. This time I found out I was pregnant early and Dr did a progesterone level and I was low. Have to take lozenges 100mg twice a day. Anyone else have this issue??
Prometrium, a progesterone supplement, is sometimes prescribed during the first trimester of pregnancy in women who have had a history of miscarriages caused by low progesterone levels. The addition of prometruim during pregnancy helps ensure that the women will carry the fetus to full-term. It works by helping ensure that a placenta is fully formed thus providing the necessary lifeline for the developing fetus.
I had a M/c 2 years ago. Spotted at 6 wks blood test showed low progesterone took inserts but eventually heart stopped at 7wks. Pregnant and went in for early progesterone test at 5wks, no bleeding. progesterone level 6 now taking inserts. Has anyone gone on to have a healthy baby incase such as this?
Hi, I had 2 previous miscarriages and all of my blood work came back fine so my dr prescribed progesterone for me, as the woman said above-for just in case situation, for the next time I got pregnant and I started taking the progesterone suppositories in the 1st trimester until my 12th week and I now have a 2 yr old son. My 2nd son, who is now 1, was conceived 3 mths after our first son. I also took progesterone with him but it was the progesterone cream.
