During my last pregnancy I started spotting around 7 weeks and after about 3 weeks of spotting on and off that turned into full on bleeding resulting in miscarriage and D&C; at 10 weeks. Needless to say I was devastated. At my first appointment for this pregnancy I had my midwife check my progesterone levels. I had read that low progesterone in early pregnancy can cause miscarriage. When she got back to me with my blood work a few days later she said they were in fact a little low. Normal is 11 to 13, my levels were at 10. It took about a week for the pharmacy to get the supplement in and the insurance to approve it, so I didn’t start taking it until 4 days ago right at 8 weeks. The night before I started taking it I started spotting a bit, and I took the first dose that next morning after I picked it up from the pharm (it says to take a bedtime but I was nervous and bleeding so I took one in that morning), and the spotting stopped shortly after. Ever since I’ve been taking it I’ve felt so crappy. Achy, crampy, dizzy, the list goes on. I’m also still very nervous that I’m having/ had a miscarriage & just stopped bleeding because I’m taking progesterone now.

Is there anyone else out there on or had taken this to help prevent miscarriage and what’s your experience with it? Did/do you have the same symptoms I’m having? How did it work for you?
