My ob/gyn has prescribed me cyclogest and I’m not sure whether to take it as my progesterone levels are actually pretty good (I think!).
I am 32 and have a history of infertility and miscarriage, most recently with a ruptured ectopic and subsequent salpingectomy at Christmas 2023.
I am in the very very early days of a pregnancy (5w) and bled for 2/3 days at around 3.5w (heavier than spotting). I have also previously had low progesterone in the luteal phase of my cycles and typically have a short luteal phase.
My progesterone has been going up steadily, as has my HCG. My progesterone was around 40-45 nmol/L (aka 14 ng/ml) on the days I bled (6/7 Feb) and is now up to 102 nmol/L (aka 32 ng/ml) as of 15 Feb, at 4w5d. My beta HCG was 530 on 15 Feb and has been just over doubling every 48 hours.
I’m not sure whether to start the cyclogest progesterone supplement as my progesterone seems quite good. That said, I’m desperately worried about another miscarriage and did have bleeding in early pregnancy again this time, albeit it has stopped now.
I’m not expecting medical advice, and I have asked my gynae who has basically said it’s up to me, but has anyone else been in this situation?
I know it’s super early days and could all still go wrong again, but just trying to give myself the best odds.
