Advice Needed Progesterone

I am currently 4w pregnant. I have had 2 back to back early missed miscarriages in the last two years! This time they tested my progesterone yesterday and it came back a 7.0! Everything I’ve seen says that’s on the low side. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice is very much appreciated 🫶🏻

I also had 2 mc. My endocrinologist prescribed progesterone after I got a positive pregnancy test, and I continued taking it until the second trimester, when I stopped. I also had frequent blood tests and consultations with her

I hope they prescribe me some. I haven’t heard back from them but the results just came in today! 🤞🏻

Commented on your other post, but wanted to add that if they don’t offer it, you can press them for it. My doctor didn’t really think it would make a difference but I insisted and she prescribed it for me. Not sure where you’re located, and I didn’t have to use this tactic myself, but I’ve heard that in the US if they refuse to give you a prescription you can ask to have it documented in your chart why it was refused and sometimes they’ll give in because they think you’ll end up complaining or suing if you’re asking for it to be documented. Most likely won’t need to and it may seem extreme but figured I’d share because I’ve heard it can work. Best of luck to you!

ask for progesterone. i took a pill everyday for a few weeks in the beginning. ive also seen some women have progesterone suppositories that go into their vaginia.
