TTC, found out I have low progesterone

Laurie

Im not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I would appreciate the advice. My husband and I have decided to try to start a family. When nothing happened within 6 months my doc suggested getting a progesterone test on me and the results came back with low progesterone. She started me on a medication to help increase it and to come back for another test. I’m really trying hard not to get my hopes up that it would work first time (which it didn’t) and it really upset me. I always had a feeling that I would have issues conceiving because my mom has trouble too. It kinda hurt to hear that there was an issue with me.

I’ll be the first to admit I’m a very emotional person, but I didn’t expect that negative test to upset me as much as it did. I also want to be a mom so bad. I have always felt for women that had fertility issues and I know it won’t happen over night. My husband has been supportive durning all this, but it’s hard to explain to him exactly how I feel about all this.

I went to the store yesterday to get more tests to use after my next round of meds, the clerk told me “good luck” when she handed me my receipt and it made me tear up a bit and a little happy. I know she was probably just saying it to be nice, but it felt good to hear someone tell me that.

Sorry for the long post and thank you for reading. 😊
