Hi ladies. I've got low progesterone. Never been pregnant. In waiting list to be referred to clinic via nhs. I've paid plan your baby for prescription for progesterone. They've given me 3 months of 400mg twice a day to take 5dpo for 12 days. Does this sound right? Has anyone done this and had success stories?
