Trying to Get Pregnant

Well, that excitement was short-lived (warning: potential loss mentioned)

I just got back from the doctor's office. I went over to a walk-in clinic because the more I thought about it, the more concerned I became by the fact that I had (very light) spotting yesterday and two days ago, given that my 7DPO progesterone was only 10 at a time when I apparently was pregnant. The doctor confirmed my fears, and basically said that in all likelihood, I am having a miscarriage right now. 
Apparently, that progesterone level is too low to support a pregnancy. I had beta testing done and have to go back in two days to confirm whether I actually am miscarrying.
What a roller-coaster of a day.

I just wanted to give you a bit of hope: My progesterone level was 3.1 at 4w3d, and they told me it could go either way at that point, but put me on supps just in case. At 6 weeks we saw a heartbeat.
Did they give you progesterone supps just in case everything is okay?
Fingers crossed that everything is okay.

My progesterone was 8 at 5.5 weeks with my son. He is 14 months and perfectly healthy.
If I were you, I would ask for supplements. There is a big debate about whether low progesterone is a cause or a symptom of miscarriage. I know for a fact that for me my low progesterone was not a symptom of a bad pregnancy but could have definitely caused problems.
Obviously low progesterone is concerning, and I am not trying to give you false hope, but just give you information. Low progesterone does not always equal a miscarriage.

Thanks! He did not give me a supplement - he wouldn't even re-test my progesterone (the last time it was tested was at 7DPO in December), he said it was too late at this point and a supplement couldn't do anything to help now.
I may get a second opinion on that tomorrow in light of your post.
*sigh*
I'm not sure what the doctors at your walk in clinic are like, but the ones at mine have very poor bedside manner and don't always seem to be the most knowledgeable ones. I would definitely get a second opinion (spec. an OB's). I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers! I hope you aren't miscarrying.

I'm usually a lurker, but wanted to tell you my experience. Back in November I got a very early bfp (8 dpo). I had suspected my progesterone was low because I had a short lp. I was actually supposed to get it checked on 7 dpo of my next cycle, but then got pregnant. When I got my bfp, I immediately called the dr to get my progesterone checked. On 9 dpo my progesterone was 4.4 and hcg was 9. Needless to say, my dr said without a doubt I would miscarry within a day or so and wouldn't entertain the idea of progesterone supplements. I spotted on 11 dpo and that was it. I called her back on 14 dpo when I still hadn't miscarried and was still getting very positive hpt's and I requested another set of bloodwork. Prog was 7.7 and hcg was 130. I was put on Prometrium and am thankfully now 13 weeks with what seems to be a very healthy baby.
I don't want to give you false hope and I completely understand the rollercoaster of emotions but wanted to let you know that progesterone is sometimes not a good gauge of whether the pregnancy is viable or not. I spent 5 very emotional days waiting for something that thankfully never happened. Your experience could very well be different from mine. But I'm keeping my fx that you find out some good news in a couple days.
