So I just had my 3rd loss out of 5 pregnancies and my doc is sending me to check my beta levels again tomorrow but I wanted to call and ask to check my progesterone too, because after lots of reading, that's what I believe is the main culprit.
My question is does it matter at what point you are in your cycle to have it checked?
Say I'm CD 5 tomorrow so will whatever reading it is be accurate enough to say "yes, you have low progesterone and that's likely the cause." Or will the reading not be accurate at that point in my cycle?
Any input is more than appreciated.
Also - my mom orders a progesterone supplement cream online and it's bio-identical as opposed to synthetic, she swears by it. Assuming my OB doesn't agree with my train of thought and I decide to try it out myself, does anyone have any success/personal experience using the progesterone cream in regards to fertility/conceiving?
