  Did your doctor mention progesterone supplements at all?  There are oral pills and vaginal suppositories that a lot of ladies around here, including myself take.  Good Luck!

  I don't have low progesterone but I am a spotter in my 2ww so I have been on Endometrin after 3 dpo each cycle. If your insurance doesn't cover it, try Walgreens. There are some discount programs through them that help with the cost too. I was shocked how much it helped bring the cost down.

  My last injects IUI cycle (January) I had a P4 of 4.3.  And that was with three follies on 75iu of Follistim for seven days of stims.  I was already on oral progesterone at that point but was immediatly put on vaginal suppositories (endometrin) that day (7dpo).   I got my first ever BFP four days later.  Six days after my P4 of 4.3 at 7dpo I had my first beta and my p4 was up to a "normal" level.  I still ended up miscarrying but not because of low progesterone.  (RE assumes egg abnormality with genetics.  At my age of 35 I have a 35% chance of miscarrying no matter what and fell in those odds). 

  Long story short.  Your P4 does not determine if you're pregnant or not.   It tells if you'll be able to implant naturally or not.  If I had not been put on supps I am positive that I would never have seen that BFP.  

  I agree that you need to be put on supps asap in case this is your cycle.
