Increasing progesterone naturally

[xxcxdonxx]

Hello 👋🏻 it’s maybe a bit of a niche topic but wondered if anyone had any experience of trying to improve their progesterone levels naturally?
Just as a bit of background, I’ve been TTC#3 since December. Since then, I’ve had a chemical, mmc and mc and while I know it can be very common, it feels like there could be something else going on.
I’ve noticed that about 7 days after my peak ovulation I start to get brown spotting which eventually turns into my period.
After doing some reading I thought it might be progesterone related so after my mmc I started doing seed cycling and eating progesterone friendly foods after ovulation and that was the month I got pregnant, it might have been pure coincidence however.

I’ve been to my gp who advised she would prescribe progesterone but it had to come from a recommendation from the recurrent miscarriage clinic, only problem is that I’m on a 12-16 week waitlist for that.

So after my long ramble, I was wondering if anyone had any success in improving their progesterone and it made any difference in conception or maintaining a pregnancy?

vitamin C (high dose) & vitamin B complex are the first things to try 😊 Have you tried either of these yet? I had a 10 day luteal phase but have been taking these vitamins & it looks like this month it might be longer 😊🤞🏼

Look up Maisie Hill she talks about it in her book Period Power, she talks about seeds that naturally help, I can't remember the rest sorry.

@JulyT that’s useful, thank you ans great news that it looks to be working for you. I hadn’t been taking vit c but had been trying to take it through my diet. The vitamins I’m currently taking have b6 and b12 so hadn’t been on anything else, I had no idea there are 8 of them. Vitamins are such a minefield to know what to take!

@sekift I haven’t heard of that book but will check it out, thanks for the recommendation. It might be sunflower and sesame seeds which I’ve got ready for when I get to that point.

She's talks a lot about the different hormones, I'm not TTC (this came up in active) but think I have low progesterone due to spotting a lot before my period and not getting some of "calming" benefits you're supposed to get, she talks about helping women TTC in it and how low progesterone can cause miscarriage. It's important if you do take progesterone that it is the identical one not the synthetic. She really knows her stuff on this so look her up! (I'm not related lol).
