Low progesterone, spotting before periods, 31

Hello,

I’m just looking for a bit of advice and support I think.

im 31 years old, I had a medical abortion around 2 years ago. Pretty much since then (I can pinpoint noticing it about a year and a half ago) I have had spotting ~5-7 days before my period. Have done two progesterone tests at day 21 which have come back quite low - 18 and 16. I’ve also been trying to conceive in the last 6 months with no luck.

I’ve been seeing the GP and she doesn’t seem worried and would say to just keep trying. But it is the spotting and progesterone that is really worrying me.

my two questions are:

  • has anyone experienced this after an abortion, do you think this could have caused it?
  • do you think I’m entering perimenopause already!? My GP doesn’t seem concerned but everything thing I google seems to suggest it

im feeling so low and lost, everything suggests it’s because of the abortion as I’ve always had such regular periods, but no professional even wants to consider the idea.

thanks in advance for any advice or similar experiences
