Suggest Treatment For Low Progesterone Levels During Pregnancy
after three miscarriages and told I had low progestrone levels I am trying to get pregnant again but am having a very hard time . Was wondering if the hormone supplement was taken while period and ovulation if it could help me concieve and continuing taking would help me have a healthy pregnancy. My third miscarriage I was started on supplements orally but it was 7 weeks along and ddnt prevent miscarriage,but dr said it was because it was started too late. The other two pregnancies happened right after quitting b.c. And I haven t been on it in years when trying this time

HI,
Thanks for the query. I do understand your concern.
Progesterone deficiency can cause of non conception ,when progesterone supplementation at ovulation is advised.
Similarly early months abortions are many a times caused by progesterone defeciency.. in repeated abortions .. an early diagnosis of pregnancy followed by Progesterone supplementation is started immediately.. & continued till placenta starts functioning ( producing progesterone. ) that is up to 3.5 to 4 months pregnancy/ till extra one month supplementation is given after the risk zone of bleeding ( as per previous experience )
Please consult a gynecologist before conception , for proper advise.
thanks.
