I got my cycle back 11 months postpartum, in September 2025, and immediately had an ectopic pregnancy in October/November. We started TTC again 3 months ago. My luteal phase has been short since my cycle returned—ranging from 7 days my first cycle to a max of 10 days (which was the length last month). I’m still breastfeeding, so I suspected low progesterone. I used Walk-in Labs and self ordered a progesterone test for 7 DPO, which was yesterday. Results back early this morning: progesterone is unsurprisingly lower than ideal at 6.5. I immediately texted my midwife and asked if she could call in a progesterone script given my lab results so I can try to support my luteal phase this cycle. She obliged (she’s the best). I then got up out of bed to pee and get a very faint positive test!!!! Started progesterone suppositories this afternoon, 100mg once a day.
Looking for any and all encouragement, advice, similar situations, prayers, whatever. I’m psyched but also super nervous and feeling like the low progesterone could cause issues. I have no idea if the supplementation she prescribed will be enough or if I’m in for a miscarriage.
