Progesterone?

If you have low progesterone, how did you find out? I know that not having levels that are high enough can cause m/c and you came take medicine for this. It dawned on me that the week before I got my BFP, my endocrinologist had called me with the results of my blood work and he said everything was perfect, levels were good except Vitamin D was slightly low (but that's common). He said my progesterone was low but that could be because I had not ovulated yet. (Which I did not ovulate until a few days after the blood draw). Is this something I should be concerned with or should be watching out for? I don't go for my first round of blood work for 2.5 more weeks.

Re: Progesterone?

I am not sure how you can watch out for it other than having a blood test. I found out my progesterone was low because I was going in for blood work pretty regularly in the beginning.
I can tell you though that your progesterone levels would be low before ovulation so that is totally normal.
If you are worried I would ask for a blood test sooner.

Other than that, they say that progesterone is what causes fatigue and BB tenderness, however I am not a dr and can not attest that is full proof. I do know that I didn't start feeling any BB tenderness until after I was on progesterone 3 times a day.
