How To Get Pregnant?

hi, im a 21 year old female and happily married. We have been TTC for over 3 years now. My GP says my progesterone levels are border line, but i now cant do anything about it until im 23, then i can be refferred for IVF...is there nothing i can do until then? We are both desperate for a baby, and our parents are now into their 60's with health issues thereselves and we really would like them to meet their grandchild

Hi I don't think you should think about IVF now. Progesterone levels can be increased with help of medicines and injections. You should get yourself evaluated first. Do a thyroid profile and prolactin levels and a ultrasound for your uterus and ovaries. Also do a semen analysis of your husband. If everything is fine you can try medicines for ovulation and also some medicines to support implantation.
