Low Progesterone

Dear All, I am new on this site and I have just gotten my BFP after taking Femara to assist with ovulation. my doctor requested that I get blood tests to check my HCG and progesterone. I was told the tests were not good as my progesterone was low and my HCG was 55. I am 4 weeks pregnant. My doctor has now put me on progesterone capsules. Anyone else have issues with low progesterone and used progesterone supplements ending with a healthy baby.

    This is my first pregnancy but I am on them as well since mine was low. My HCG had gone up a lot and my progesterone level is now normal. Hope all goes well for you!

    Took them with my son (now a healthy 4 year old) and on them again this time. My number was at 7, was up to 11.5 last week, and I got back next week. All looked good on the ultrasound so while I'm worried to some degree, I'm very hopeful the prometrium will do its job and everything will go smoothly.

    I just got on Crinone 4% last night because while my HCG is 32,000, my progesterone fell from 14 (4w3d) to 10.2 (6w2d). Saw the baby and the heartbeat which was wonderful, and now I just want some progesterone to sustain my pregnancy. Do a board search - lots of women have been on progesterone and gone on to deliver healthy and happy babies. Best of luck with all the ladies. :)

    I am currently taking progesterone 200mg orally at night. This has helped so much! My numbers are on track now since they were low before. Best of luck!

    My progesterone is also low. My dr. put me on progesterone capsules twice a day but has me using them as a suppository. I haven't had bloodwork done or seen her since she gave it to me. I have been experiencing typical pregnancy symptoms which makes me feel like the progesterone is doing its job and helping me along with my pregnancy. Looking forward to seeing the dr. Thursday!

    I was told I had low progesterone a year ago and they started me on a cream. Couldn't t keep up with it due to loss of insurance. I've been worried that by the tone I go to my first appointment that we will catch it to late. I'm pretty sure I'm low, but have to wait and find out

    When I called the doctor... I requested lab work immediately. Granted I knew I would likely have low progesterone again (round 2). I did lab work within 5 hours of finding out and they started me on progesterone the same day, and called with labs to confirm my assumption was correct... Maybe you can do the same??

    I had a mc last may at 10 weeks measuring only 6 :( devastating. So this time ive been testing progesterone and it started strong but has dropped a bit from 34 down to 25 still a heartbeat and another drop to 20. Dont know how peanut it doing after this drop but still have the symptoms as ive had the whole pregnancy so far so im a little nervous but the doc put me on 400mg of progesterone as a vaginal suppository. I test again next week. She wants me at 28 currently stuck at 20 (4weeks at this level). Anyone else with a positive outcome with situations like this?

    I"m on progesterone also.  200mg twice a day.  My doctor seems very optimistic that this will help maintain the pregnancy until the placenta is able to take over.  I cannot vouch for ending in a healthy happy pregnancy though since my first pregnancy was a mc (was not on anything) then on this pregnancy soon as got the  bfp called the doctor and requested tests.  Was put on progesterone after that first test.  So hopefully it will result in a sticky baby :)

    Even on progesterone, my level only got to 11.5.  Baby was measuring 4 days ahead last week, and, as far as we can tell, all is well.

    Update my progesterone is up to 34 with 400mg vaginally :) 11 week ultrasound measuring one day ahead :) so happy. Risk just went down to 1-2% level check next week to check progesterone again. Hopefully the placenta will be able to kick on and supply good hormones.
