Hi,
Thank you for using HCM, I would love to help
Those levels are within normal range, even if they are slightly low. many women with those levels carry the baby without a problem. studies have shown that we can't correlate well progesterone levels with risk of miscarriage. it turns out that when the levels are high we can certainly rule out progesterone deficiency as a possible problem, but when levels are lower we really can't say if a woman is at risk.
However, if there are other reasons to believe that someone may have low progesterone, such as a history of previous miscarriages, we may supplement progesterone just to try and prevent miscarriage, even though this intervention hasn't really been proven to work.
I hope this helps, please let me know if you have any more questions.
