I am 29 years old and have three living children. The youngest is 7.5 months and I have a 2.5 year old and oldest is 3.5 years old. I like having my children closely spaced like that.
Anyhow, I recently miscarried our 4th child at 6 weeks along. I temp and I noticed that the months after my last baby was born and including the month I got pregnant again this last time my post ovulation temps were a lot lower than normal. Usually would be 98.5 and now they are around 97.7.
I am concerned I have low progesterone and could have another miscarriage because of this. I have talked to my OB and he just suggests waiting it out a few months to see if my temps regulate and then I may try a progesterone cream. Do you think my low progesterone caused this miscarriage? I had some tests done after this miscarriage and my prolactin was a 3 and my thyroid was in the middle range. My beta blood test was down to 10 at the time these other tests were taken and now it’s 2.
I am just so confused and now scared that I will go on to have another miscarriage and that for some reason I have low progesterone now.
Thanks!
