Who has had trouble with progesterone levels and is currently taking pills or cream to help?

Question

I'm asking because I have a history of low progesterone levels and I'm currently taking the natural progesterone cream twice a day. I took it before I got pregnant in order to conceive and now I'm continuing to take it until I'm out of my first trimester when your baby makes its own progesterone.. I'm so scared of another miscarriage!! Just looking for support for women who've been in my shoes or are currently going threw it now??

Answer

I've tried to get a medication for progesterone but my doctor doesn't think I need it even though I suffered multiple miscarriages due to low progesterone. Last time I was tested I tested around a 12.. And that's low. I've done a little looking around and found this awesome progesterone cream and started trying it. Well last year it worked and I got pregnant and stayed pregnant because I kept using it through my first trimester and I even told my doctor and he said to keep using the cream so I did and I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl who is now 6 months old.. And now I'm pregnant again and again I'm using the cream and I'm afraid to stop until after my first trimester. 🙁

Answer

I'm on progesterone injections. We achieved a natural pregnancy once my NaPro fertile specialist pin pointed some underlying issues (high prolactin levels prior to concieving, endo and low progesterone). After I got a Postive pregnancy test he immediately had me start the shots. My husband was trained and he gives them to me every 3 days. I got in for a level check Tuesday 5/24 to see if I have to stay on them or if they are stable enough to stop.

Answer

I take suppositories. You should go to your dr to get a prescription. My dr said the creams you buy in the stores don't produce enough of you have issues with carrying a child. I was using then too so that why I'm saying this but your levels may not be as low as you think

Answer

The first one from "Now solutions " is cheaper and works just as good as the other one. I apply one pump (20mg) in the morning and one pump at night for entire 1st trimester.. But I also increased my pumps once I got pregnant to almost 100 mg a day then I slowly took less and less after my first trimester. There's a chart on how to properly use the cream for fertility and pregnancy. I don't know why some people say it doesn't work when it worked for me and many other women. I don't know why my doctor didn't put me on the medication but my husband and me were tired of having miscarriages.. And this really truly works because I have a beautiful healthy baby girl to show for it..
