Hi trisha,

hCG shots can be given in the luteal phase to increase Progesterone levels

Yup, i know Kan on this site had one to help with the levels but i thought she had one to up her estrogen levels. could be wrong but you can email her on the site and ask her.

You can also use pills and vaginal suppositories to increase your prog level but every doc uses diff stuff.

What were you tested for? I am going in for testing as well and i just had my 2m/c and cant figure out why. My levels for everyting are always great. I will also have chromosomal testing done with my DH.
