  My OB won't do progesterone testing unless patients have had at least 2 or 3 m/c or at the first new OB appointment. I think it doesn't hurt to request it, but they still may not check it.

  I had a short LP and now a history of ectopic, and they only do it after you have had a loss.  A short LP isn't considered abnormal because you still can get pregnant.  I did find out (after the fact) that a short LP does put you at an increased risk of miscarriage & ectopic pregnancy.  I would ask your doctor.

  I have always had a really short LP (no longer than 6 days).  For future reference, you can take B6 to lengthen your LP...but in reference to your question, most OBs don't do progesterone specific testing without a history of loss.
