Hi Sheila,
I was pregnant five times and now have two beautiful children. I had high risk pregnancies. My first I lost at around 12-14 weeks. I did not know I was even pregnant until I lost the baby at home. That was a major shock. My second was a tubal. My third is my now 14 year old son. I carried him real low and had alot of contractions with him. Towards the end of pregnancy I was not aloud to move around. My fourth I lost at about 6 weeks. The fifth is my now 8 year old daughter. She was the worst pregnancy of them all. I had to quit work because of pre-term labor. At 33 weeks I ended up in the hospital because the contraction were not stopping. Finally we got them to stop and was sent home on complete bed rest. That whole pregnancy from start to finish was hard on me. With both my kids pregnancy I had to take progesterone suppositories. I hope this helped a little. If you have any questions please ask.

Thank you for sharing your experiances, i'm sorry that you had so many difficult ones, i and my husband are "kinda" ttc and i do have PCOS but take metformin regularly. i get my periods reg. i should get one soon (its late so i am kinda excited and hoping i'm pregnant) you mentioned taking some things during the last preg, where you being treated for PCOS also during the miscarriages? and did the doictors blame it on PCOS or on something else?

I was diagnosed with PCOS before I tried to get pregnant. The progesterone supp. I took was to help hold the pregnancy. I was lacking the progesterone to substain a pregnancy. Even though I took them, there still was a possibilty of loosing the baby. I was at higher risk of pregnancy loss due to my progesterone being so low. I hope this helped.

Same for me. I was diagnosed with PCOS and sought infertility treatment. I took 3 forms of progesterone to help "hold" and nourish the pregnancies, however I was not considered high risk. I eventually had two children and no complications despite my pcos. Good luck!!

Sheila,
I had a blood test that showed I had low progesterone. I am now 43 years old and I am still low on progesterone. I was told even though you get your period you still may not be ovulating. I know that was my issue. I would have the vaginal ultrasounds every month to see if I was developing any eggs. I never had good results and still had the darn period.

Hi! I have read the story about your getting pregnant and I've got some questions for you and would be grateful if you could reply me.
So,my problem is that I also have a VERY low progesterone level and irregular periods and I am wondering if it would be really impossible for me to get preganant. I don't have any children yet but it's very important for me to know it.
Good luck to you.
Any reply would be strongly appreciated.
Thanks
