Pregnancy Info HOME

I have been through the plight of low progesterone levels too many times. I am now pregnant for the 8th time, all of which ended in miscarriage except for two. With each pregnancy my progesterone levels were low. The highest levels did survive, but even those were between 7 and 12. My level at this time is only 2.5 which usually means that the fetus is nonviable. I am not going on progesterone supplementation because I don't want to prolong a bad pregnancy. I am 3.5 weeks pregnant and my period is not even due until tomorrow. I have started to have brown spotting. I am so tired of trying so desperately to get pregnant only to lose the pregnancies between 5 and 11 weeks. This will be my 6th miscarriage, but I have been blessed with two children which makes this loss a little less difficult to handle. No one could find a reason why I have recurrent spontaneous abortions. My advice to all of you is to keep trying no matter what. Low progesterone levels can mean that the pregnancy is not a good one. If you take progesterone you could be sustaining a bad pregnancy and cause worse bleeding when you do miscarry. There's no easy answer. Just don't give up hope. You are certainly not alone. Best of luck to all of you out there.
