Hi Ladies, are any of you on progesterone supplements, if so at what progesterone levels did your Doctor recommend starting supplementation? Just wondering!
Thanks

    I've been on 200mg orally for 3 weeks now, I'm 8w6d right now. When they tested me at 5w my levels were at a 13 and they wanted to see 15 or higher so my dr put me on them. Things have been going great! I take my last one tonight though, she said I don't need it after my 8th week. Hope that helps!

    I take 400 mg before bed, I am 9 weeks 1 day, when I started my progesterone was actually in a normal range at 25 but I lost my last three pregnancies. Now my level is at about 40 and I am hoping to be able to come off next week at 10 weeks

    I take 200mg twice a day, at 4w 5d mine was 11 and my Dr isnt happy with anything under 18. I will be 10 weeks tomorrow and my prescription will run out right before week 11 and he said that should be ok, ideally he wanted me on it the whole first trimester.

    I feel like 16 is way too low for 8 weeks and I'm just now starting the gel at 8w4d. I just feel it's too late.

    I started taking 200mg orally a day at about 7w3d. My levels were 11. Rechecked levels at 8w1d and they were 33! My doctor said I can start weaning off of them now, I am 9w2d!

    I am also 7 weeks and 3 days, just had my progesterone level checked yesterday it was 10.8... I am waiting to get a call back from OB to get started on supplements today. Have read many women talk about needing progesterone supplements in 1st timester than going on to have healthy babies.. So I am hopeful all will be well for all of our little ones. Just glad to know my level is low now so I can do something about it. Best wishes to all of you!

    A light red-pink and just on TP, some but not much. Just enough to freak me out. Hoping it stops soon but I will be on the gel for a while im sure. I will call the dr tomorrow to let her know what's happening if it still keeps up. :/

    I'm on progesterone. At about 4 weeks, my level was at 8.8, which my doc didn't like so I'm 400 mg of prometrium a day taken orally.

    The vaginal gel is known to irritate the cervix and cause some pinkish red spotting for some women. I hope that's all it is!

    I just had my labs taken on Monday. I am unsure of how far along I am due to a miscarriage in May, and I had not had a period since then. I tested positive over three weeks ago. My labs were great, so I thought until I read this! My HCG is at 41,000 and my progesterone is at 13.6. The doctor I saw is their high risk doctor, and he commented labs look great. We will date the pregnancy as planned on the 20th. Should I call back and question my progesterone?

    Edit to change spelling!

    Hi all. My progesterone was 8.2 at 5 weeks. Around week 7 I had labs retested and doc wanted my levels higher so now I'm on 200mg progesterone supplements 2x a day for the first week and after a week I drop down to just 200mg before bed. Doc didn't seem concerned at all. I haven't had any symptoms, in fact, my nausea has subsided a bit (may just be luck)!

    Hello, everyone. My progesterone was 31.5 on 6/25. I am currently 9 weeks 2 days, so far so good. I have been seeing an infertility doctor since before I got pregnant. I've had two MC's and asked to be referred to a specialist bc of my past history. I immediately got put on 100mg of progesterone 2xday, starting the very next day after I peed positive on the stick. The progesterone is a vaginal supository which sucks (having to wear a panty liner), but it's been doing its work. Should only be on it till the end of my 10th week. Fingers crossed I see this pregnancy through. So far my pregnancy symptoms have been stronger this time around, which I hope is a good sign. Good luck to everyone!! ☺️
