low progesterone

I just gace birth to my precious baby 8 months ago and found out I was pregnant last week. My blood work came back with my progesterone being low. My question is how common is this and besides the medication how do they check for progression? I have felt either exhausted,  wide awake, hormones everywhere, and cold all the time. Please respond with encouraging responses!

I had low progesterone and had to take prometrium with both of my kids and they're healthy.... it is Normal.... I'm pregnant again and waiting to see if I have to take meds with this one as well.... don't worry it's completely fine

I dont know how common it is, but I had low progesterone too. They put me on medication because I have a history of miscarrying, and in my first trimester I had to go for bloodwork every week. Dont stress out about it though! Good luck :)
