We got the early pregnancy blood test results yesterday from our consultant and my progesterone levels are low. So I’m really worried now as progesterone helps to suppress contractions in the uterus to keep it in a relaxed state so there’s a high risk that I could miscarriage if my progesterone is too low. It just reminds me what a failure my body is to do all this stuff itself! And it’s still low even with all the drugs I’m taking! So, I’m now having to do another injection of progesterone every day, and then retest in 3 days time. I’m tying myself up in knots as I’m getting stressed because of the low progesterone, but then know that stress releases cortisol which can inhibit progesterone production as well. So I really need to relax. Yeah, right! I did email the doctor at the clinic in Spain though today just to let him know, and he said not to worry especially as there are no other symptoms of a miscarriage. So I feel slightly better today.
