Progesterone after two early losses

[Skylark1990]

Hello, I've been wondering about how people went about getting progesterone supplements.

I'm currently having my second early miscarriage - I'm still breastfeeding my first baby, she's 19 months, and I know this can lower progesterone so wondering if this is why I have had the miscarriages 😞 I'm not sure but with my first I obviously wasn't breastfeeding and I got pregnant straight away and no issues. Having had two MC since January is really hard to deal with, and I'm wondering if maybe it's a low progesterone thing.

Did people manage to get it prescribed by their gp after one or two losses? Or did you need to be referred, and do you need to have had 3 losses for that? Or did you go privately?
Just wondering how to navigate looking into this...

I had progesterone prescribed for the first 3 months of pregnancy as a matter of course following successful IVF. I imagine if your GP won't do it, it might be a case of paying to see a gynaecologist consultant privately. I saw one (different issue) recently and the consultation was £200. Progesterone on a private script will be cheap as it's a generic drug.

Hi @MamaOh congratulations and I'm so so sorry to hear of your previous losses. Come and join us on the due in April thread :) That is great you have the progesterone and you're doing it already. Professor Quenby is amazing and they should be able to do the tests even though your pregnant as long as its very early on - they still did mine at 12/13 dpo! I'd got the positive test day before.
I'm doing ok, taking the progesterone dilligently... I'm 6+1 now so just got everything crossed and hoping for the best :)

Aww thank you, that's very sweet. Wishing you all the best too!! There are plenty on the thread who are very early on and who have had previous losses so you'll be in good company but totally understand if you'd rather wait a while... we are already on thread 3 so if you decide you want to join in a couple weeks write to me again as can send you the latest thread if you can't see it - we may be on thread 4 or 5 haha - but this is the one for now: www.mumsnet.com/talk/pregnancy/4611949-babies-due-april-2023-thread-3?page=10&reply=119327235
