I googled this and have all the signs (bleeding, cramping, lower back pain) but my dr doesn't think she should be monitoring it... I know cramping and lower back pain are also symptoms many women get but I feel that the dr. should be covering all bases.. anyone have any experience with low progesterone?

You will drive yourself crazy if you google symptoms.
Did you ask your dr why she didnt feel it was necessary? Maybe she has a good reason. I know this can a stressful time but you have to trust your dr...if you dont then find a new one asap.
I have had low progestrone with all my pregnancies. The first I was bleeding no cramping, the last I was bleeding and cramping, this one I am not bleeding so just goes to show that every single pregnancy is different! It will show up in your blood levels. Did they test your progestrone? If not, ask them to, it is just a blood test, you don't even need to see the doctor.
Easier said then done! I haven't been able to get her on the phone. The nurses have been telling me that she thinks its not necessary (to test progesterone)... she was supposed to call me 20 mins ago. I do not like my doctor at this point because I do not think she has done the best for me and my baby. I tried to get an appointment with a new doctor (a recommended one) but the office said that I have to figuring out what is happening with this doctor before I can come to them. (I guess I started here and since I've been having complications, I need to figure out whats happening here first...) I'm so upset about it and think its complete bs. Thanks for advice!

Can you go and see your family Dr. I have low progestrone and was put on a suppository. I will be taking it until I am 10 weeks. There is no harm in taking it.

Your doctor can check your progesterone with a simple blood test. I've had very low progesterone and I've been using endometrin vaginal suppositories for my entire pregnancy so far, and I'll use them until around 12 weeks. Low progesterone is fairly common so I would just get it checked out and try not to worry because it's definitely fixable. GL

I think that is crazy. Progesterone helps support implantation, and pregnancy.. Mine has always been low.
