Anyone here with low progesterone?

My progesterone runs really low during my cycle. Anytime I have become pregnant I've always needed supplements. During my first pregnancy, it was with a fertility center and they monitored my progesterone levels after my IUI and throughout my early pregnancy. The second time I got pregnant was on my own and ended up with a blighted ovum. My levels were also low, but they didn't monitor me as close as the fertility doctor did.
I was looking at my chart from my first pregnancy and it seemed that all my pregnancy symptoms started around the day of implantation, which also happened to be the same day that I started taking supplements.
I look at my chart for this cycle and I see my pregnancy symptoms started around the same time that implantation would have occurred. I'm wondering now if maybe my progesterone is just too low to support a pregnancy (again) which is why my tests are BFN this month. I swore I felt pregnant.
Obviously, I can't afford fertility treatments for a second child. I was lucky to have my first, so if I have any other children, it will need to be with little help. I can get a script for progesterone from the OB, which I do have a little here in case I were to get a positive test I can start using it.
I'm starting to feel like my progesterone is so low that maybe I WONT get a positive test, and wont know to start taking the supplement.
I guess I'm curios if anyone else has low progesterone and if you have ways to naturally raise it up. I need to do something because month after month of feeling like I'm pregnant for it to be a BFN is starting to hurt to the point of tears. Does anyone have any ideas?



I do!
I know this post is a little old, but natural progesterone has helped many women acheive pregnancy and carry to term.
It is very important to use natural progesterone at the proper time in your cycle or it can actually prevent ovulation.
Serching out Natural Feritility on Google may help guide you in the right direction.
