I had a progesterone level of 13 so they put me on Crinone 8% natural progesterone through the first trimester. I think it might have been overkill in my situation but I appreciated the doctor being cautious. I didn't have hardly any symptoms either. I was worried about that too but now I am very thankful! The progesterone supplements are kind of annoying but It won't hurt anything. I'm sorry for your previous losses and hope that you have a great pregnancy! Best Wishes!

I have been on progesterone for every one of my pregnancies.(and my m/cs too)  I was on 400 mg once daily at night before bed so that way the medicine stayed in all night while I was laying down.  Your level may be low because you are so early.  Its good you are on supplements.  I would call your drs. office and ask for repeat bloodwork to make sure your levels are going up and to put your mind at ease.  With this pregnancy I had no symptoms till around 7 or 8 weeks and I am now 32 weeks.  Good luck.
