Could it be possible my Progesterone levels are to low?
September 04, 2008
Hello, my last cycle I got a BFP at 12dpo, only to find out my HCG levels weren't doubling and I miscarried at 5wks. I was wondering if my progesterone levels could be low and that would be part of my problem. Last month was my first cycle on Femara I had used Clomid 3 months prior, with no success. I have a 1 year old son I concieved naturally the first try, and when I found out I was preg. with him I was immediatly put on Progesterone suppliment because they said my levels were a little low. I have been charting BBT and this is what my chart looked like this past cycle.

I have a apt. with my OB on the 19th, and I am going to show her my chart as well, but I read if your temps. don't go significantly higher than your coverline after ovulation you could have a problem with low progesterone. What do you think? Fertility friend stated my coverline was at 97.32

If one is on Progesterone supplementation, then no need to continue checking BBTs after confirmed ovulation
