Low progesterone and strange symptoms

[Maya551]

Hi everyone

Recently found out that I have low estrogen and progesterone, especially progesterone.  I had a baby 7 months ago.  Took me one year to get pregnant, had placenta previa, and had a c-section almost a month early due to heavy bleeding.  

Since having my baby I have had extreme anxiety and heart palpitations that have caused me to see specialists and go through endless testing.  I began to experience a correlation between my strange symptoms and my menstral cycle. That is why I had my hormones tested.  Why would my hormones be so low?  I'm only 34.  I was able to sustain a pregnancy, and to my knowledge, only experienced one chemical pregnancy within the year we were trying.  Does this mean that I am going to struggle to get pregnant or sustain a pregnancy in the future?  Thanks for any insight.

Sometimes low estrogen can cause weird symptoms.  Also undiagnosed autoimmune diseases can cause odd things as well, if untreated that can make pregnancy difficult to achieve.  To get pregnant with number three we had to see an RE for treatment, she tested thyroid, estrogen, progesterone, autoimmune disease, etc.  An RE will provide more advanced treatment than a regular ob.  Since you have been trying for so long I would consult with one.  Good luck.

Oh yes...many times.  My thyroid test always comes back normal.

Have you had your thyroid tested?  That can cause the symptoms you mentioned as well. Good luck.
