Bawling in my office with the door closed...

So now that I know I have pretty low progesterone levels, I can't help but think my body killed my first baby.  My old OB always assured me it was a chromosomal abnormality (even though we never did any testing), but now I feel like my body just never produced enough prog. and that's why my LO died.  My doc at the time never tested my prog. levels, but I feel like my baby could have been saved if she had.  Now I'm crying at my desk feeling an overwhelming sense of guilt.  I just want to go home.

Oh sweetie, I'm so sorry. If that's what caused your loss, there's no way you could have known. I know that's not very comforting right now. (((big hugs)))

Aw, I'm sorry sweetie.  But the good news is that I think it's an easy fix a lot of the time.  :::Hugs:::

I'm sorry! It's a horrible feeling knowing that your body failed you but on a positive at least you know what to do in the future.

((hugs)) I'm so sorry you're feeling this way!  It's so hard not to blame yourself, but it's not your fault!

This! Hopefully! 

Listen, the fact that you have a low progesterone level DOES NOT change the fact that the overwhelming majority of early pregnancy losses are due to chromosomal abnormalities. 

Could your low progesterone levels have caused your body to miscarry a healthy baby? maybe. However, it's still much much more likely that their was indeed a chromosomal or implantation issue to begin with.

I'm sorry sweetie, this is certainly not your fault.  Knowing is half the battle and knowing that there is a prog problem will make sure you are stock full of it next time.  It's sad that in order to find out our body is messed up we have to have go through a loss, but fixing the prog issue is a simple fix.  {{ Hugs}}

You didn't know, what you didn't know.  Try not to blame yourself.  I hope that with this knowledge it will help you in the future.  ((hugs))

Awww honey,  I'm so sorry, but PP is right, it is way more likely that it was chromosomal.  ( hugs )
