Low progesterone level

[chenbet]

Hi. I am 6 wks pregnant. My progesterone level is dangerously low and I received the progesterone jab yesterday. One side of my hip is very sore and I'm having wild thoughts about the safety of my fetus

It is discouraging to discover too that I have to take this jab twice a week for the entire first trimester.

Anyone who experienced low progesterone level and went through the jabs, and went on to have a successful pregnancy?

Really need some encouragement and comfort here. Thanks.

Hi Chenbet,

I don't hv low progesterone (not that I was tested for it) but as I have had two miscarriages before, one of which was a blighted ovum, my gynae put me on the jabs once a week and I had to take progesterone pills Duphaston twice a day. I m 14 weeks now and will be taking them till week 20 as my gynae strongly believes that they can help prevent premature labor which I have a history of.

I opted to have the injections on my arm because I didn't want to hv pain in my butt and have trouble sitting in the cab home. Yes the injections are really painful n cause my arm to hurt for a couple of days n made my pee and discharge smell bad. I stopped the Jabs at week 12. Good luck!

Your gynae didnt give your hormone pills (duphaston or utrogestan etc)?

Yes he did. But i need additional boost - the jabs.
