Looking for hope
So, my last period was October 20th, I posted on here about a week ago with at home test I took which looked positive, and actually turned out to be confirmed by a blood test last Thursday. The blood test was a qualitative so it was just positive no hcg numbers. Judging by the first day of my last period we would have been about 6 weeks - however I believe I was much earlier than 6 because of the amount of stress I had in November I think I ovulated later...plus I know the date we did Concieve...-anyway We were elated as it was our first. Monday morning this week I woke up with light bleeding. I saw my gyno Monday and she drew some labs. My HCG was only a 10! And my progesterone was 0.77 :( being a nurse who has worked in OB I know these levels are so extremely low and the chance of it being a viable pregnancy was slim. She diagnosed me with a threatened miscarriage put me on 200mg of progesterone and had me repeat labs in a few days...by Wednesday I had stopped spotting. (My bleeding was never heavy) i went back Wednesday and my cervix was still closed however now my HCG was 2.8. She said I would eventually miscarry and should pass everything on my own. I get more labs next Monday and follow up with her Thursday. Everyone says it's okay and to just try again but I am scared that my progesterone levels will continue to be low and I will never be able to carry a baby because my uterine lining will be thin or shedding. Has anyone else ever dealt with low progesterone levels and had success with supplements? When my HCG came back 2.8 she had me stop the progesterone. I am scared to try again because I just don't want to keep having MC due to my low levels. I'm going to obviously talk to her on Thursday but just looking for some hope.
