If you’re TTC

If you’re trying to get pregnant or got pregnant and had a miscarriage, ask to get your progesterone checked if you haven’t already. I don’t know why doctors don’t immediately do this but they should. I had a miscarriage last year and been struggling to get pregnant again ever since. My doctor knew this. I read an article and asked for mine to be checked and come to find out, it was way too low to be able to sustain a pregnancy. All this time, I wish I knew.

@ED: first, I’m sorry for your losses. I’m just bringing awareness to the fact the progesterone even is worth getting checked because like myself, many women don’t know until it’s too late. I personally know many women who kept having repeated miscarriages until they were put on progesterone. So of course, that’s not the solution for everyone. But for others, levels are low and they may not even know it.
