Low progesterone

So I just got a call from my dr office, and my progesterone level is a little low for his liking so I'm getting put on meds until my first official appointment in 3 weeks. Anyone want to help boost my confidence, and help me not freak out right now. I googled it, and that was a horrible choice. I also don't to hear negative ass comments or stories. I just need positive vibes right now.

I'm on progesterone as well & I'm now 9 weeks 2 days after 3 recurrent mc's. Baby is measuring right on time & strong heartbeat. So without the progesterone (& aspirin) I don't think I would be this far.

Just try to not stress too much (I know easier said then done) I'm on the same boat. But trying to relax as much as possible & hope that my body will hold onto this baby. I wish you all the best. Keep us posted 😊

I'm 7 weeks and I'm starting to panic, so this makes me feel better

I took progesterone my last pregnancy and again this one. Had a healthy girl last time. My levels were super low and I was having Braxton hicks like contractions for a few days at only 5.5 weeks, within 24 hrs of starting the progesterone the contractions stopped. I really think the supplement saved my pregnancy so this pregnancy I asked for them the day I found out I was pregnant. I did have funky side effects for 3 or 4 days but then it was fine.

Mine was low too and took it until 12 weeks. Currently holding my baby girl as she sleeps. Just take the medication as prescribed and all should be good 😊

Thank you. Google was not my friend after today. I had a panic attack and a full on meltdown after what I read.

Also after a miscarriage where low progesterone could have been a cause.

My progesterone at 6 and a half weeks was 6.8, which... is not a pregnant woman number. It's terrible and I lost all hope looking at google and even trying to look for positive stories on here. My dr told me it should be 20. I started supplements the next day and I'm 8 weeks now. Had an ultrasound today. Baby is measuring 8 weeks heart rate of 179. Definitely stay off of google. I lost hope and thought FOR SURE it was too late because I couldn't find anything reassuring.

I know this is an old post but I found relief in this post. I’m so nervous because I was put on progesterone 200 mg because my level was a 6.6

Hi Jorden- do you mind me asking the outcome? I am in the same boat, I hope all is well for you

That would also be me. This morning before my appt I was a damn wreck. Preparing myself for bad new. So anxious. And I don't really have pregnancy symptoms at all at 8 weeks. No nausea no sickness. My boobs barely hurt. So I'm just a paranoid mess. 😭
