Trouble TTC

Symptoms of low progesterone?

A question for ladies who have been dx with low progesterone --- do you have any symptoms that you can attribute to that?

 

I have been doing a little research online and from what I could find they said irregular periods and clotting during periods are two signs. 

 I meet with my RE in a couple weeks and it will be around 5 - 7 DPO (hopefully) and I want to get him to test it before we start our clomid cycle so if there IS a problem I can start taking something before that.. So just looking for some supportive symptoms if there are any.


Thanks!

Re: Symptoms of low progesterone?

  • In my last panel of bloodwork, they said my progesterone was 7.7, which from what I have read is low. However, they have not prescribed anything yet (see Dr. vent below). I however, have normal length LP, which I thought when you have low progesterone, the LP are short...hmmm..

    When I looked on Dr. Google, I did have some of the symptoms they listed, but I feel like you always can when you look online for that stuff.

    Not sure if this is what you are looking for...but I am interested in what others have to say!

  • I have spotting before and after AF as well as a short LP, if I get to 9 or 10 DPO, I am lucky.

  • I do not usually spot and I don't have a short LP either.  I have very irregular, very long cycles and usually don't ovulate.  I don't really have any symptoms that I can attribute solely to low progesterone.  I was diagnosed with PCOS in August 2010.  I ovulated for the first time since TTC in December but my progesterone was 5.7.  I was told that it should be 15.

    Sorry I don't have any suggestions but I agree it is very important to know.  Good luck!

  • I have low progesterone on unmedicated cycles and I have regular periods every 26-28 days.  Since I've been off BCP's, I have had one period that was only 19 days, but that is the only one that was not between 26-28 days.
