Check with your doctor and see if they can put you on progesterone oil. It is a intramuscular injection. Usually injected in the thigh. It usually cost about $34-$40 per bottle. There is also a oral version but it is more expensive. I don't know if its too late since you are already pregnant but it's worth asking. In IVF women use it in addition to estrace to strengthen their uterus. Women in IVF normally stay on progesterone and the estrace combo until they are 12 weeks pregnant. I hope you DON'T miscarry but if it happens, see about being put on progesterone before you try to get pregnant again since you now know you produce low levels of progesterone naturally. Hope this helps. Be blessed and if you have any questions about this msg me.

Yes mine was low too & I had 3 miscarriages. This time around I had a doctor that gave me progesterone supplements & I'm now 27 weeks. I had to take them for the first ten weeks. Research prometrium & Ask your doctor about it. It's not harmful to the baby. You would need to be given a prescription soon.
