Progesterone?

ttcmbbaby

So how do you know you have low progesterone and when are you taking it/using it? I'm curious because my clinic only checks my progesterone the week after I o to make sure I o and have occasionally checked it at the end of cycle. The only reason I'm asking is because my progesterone level is never consistent month to month even though the protocol is and due to my mc at 5 weeks I'm just concerned this could be the issue. I'm going to discuss with the doctor. I'm just trying to get a reference point based on your experiences. Thanks!

I spot on and off post ovulation. My Dr said that shows that the lining isn't stable.

My RE didnt check my progesterone after o this cycle he had me take supplements starting 4 days after trigger.  I dont know if its from all the monitoring he did prior months where we were and werent on meds or what the reason was but i trust him so i went with it.

For me when he checks after o it's usually between 5 and 10. I have had two months where it was higher. One month was a 32 and I super ovulated (6 follicles) and last month I had a  24 and got pregnant. All others have been what I think is low... So I'm just trying to understand all this and fix any potential issue.

My RE checks blood work after O. I've never had low progesterone levels, so my doc has just put me on a low dose after I have a positive beta just in case.
