Anyone ever have low progesterone?

Just curious if anyone had low progesterone and what was done about it? Does anyone know if the OTC progesterone creams work at all? Thanks in advance.

Yes...I've had low progesterone. My doc put me on progesterone suppositories, which I took the last 2 cycles. Unfortunately, for me, the side effects have been too bad...though I think most people have no problems with them. This cycle, my doc has me on Clomid, which will actually help progesterone levels, too, as it will *hopefully* cause a really good Ovulation...and after O I'm planning to use progesterone cream (Emerita) that comes highly recommended by my friend who is an OB/GYN nurse practitioner. I do think the creams can be very effective...I hope. And thankfully, I've had NO side effects from the Clomid!
Have you had your levels checked? The good news is that even if they are low...there are things that can be done to help!
Good luck!
