If I were you, I would ask for a progesterone test as soon as you get pregnant again. That way, the doctors will know right away if your levels are low and can then put you on a supplement, if necessary. If you're ovulating within the next couple of days, you should be home again by the time you would test positive on a HPT. Good luck this month!

Yes, it can definitely be a problem if your progesterone is low...but sometimes it's hard to say if the reason the progesterone is low is because the pregnancy is not developing normally to begin with, or if it is the low levels that are causing the miscarriage. Either way, though, it's safe to use progesterone supplements during early pregnancy, so many doctors prescribe it as a precaution for women who have already had one or more miscarriages.

after 2 missed mc's, my doctor put me on baby aspirin and prog supps just to be on the safe side.  all of my recurrent pregnancy loss testing came back normal but he did it as a precaution.  so far so good, i am now 15 weeks along.  talk to your doctor about it.
