Hi, I have had 5 miscarriages and eventually got my progesterone level checked last month after asking for it. (I keep coming up with theories). The fact is though, as you had started spotting, taking progesterone would not have helped. Your level was probably very low because you did miscarry so try not to worry too much.

Hi Snowflake

Although I have lost five, they werent all together, I lost the 1st,2nd,4th,6th and now 8th pregnancy.

after losing the sixth I had tests and although i had low progesterone it was blamed on the marina coil that I had as aparently sometimes it can cause low levels after having it removed and seeing as they found other things to blame that was forgotten about, I have factor v leiden and prothrombin gene mutation (blood clotting disorders) these put me at high risk of a clot and very high risk when pregnant, so I now take aspirin and inject blood thinners into my stomach every day as soon as i get a bfp untill baby is 6 weeks old and number 7 pregnancy gave me a beautiful dd even though i still bled a bit.

The midwife has called me today after having spoken to a consultant who looked at all my blood results and agrees that my levels were too low even having started a m/c and to definatly try the supplements, they have no idea if it will help but it cant hurt.

I also saw my gp and told her about the other gp in the practice who refused my the test 2 weeks previous to the m/c, as senior partner she wasnt happy about it and said we will never know if the supplements may have prevented the m/c but I should have been tested and given the supplements back then.
