I'm 4 weeks 5 days and found out that I have low progesterone. Everything I've read online says that low progesterone is almost always caused by PCOS. Are there any ladies here who DON'T have PCOS and had low progesterone in early pregnancy?

PCOS isn't really diagnosed by low progesterone, though I guess it could be a side effect. I have been diagnosed with PCOS, but *don't* have low progesterone when tested at 7dpo. I've never had a natural pregnancy, so I can't speak to "normal" progesterone levels during pregnancy.

I've never heard that either. My progesterone was fine with both pregnancies and I have pcos.

I have PCOS and never had low progesterone. On the plus side, if you do have it you're already pregnant. Having was never really an issue for me except when trying to conceive.

My progesterone was on the low side early in both pregnancies and I don't have PCOS.

@maybebaby8: I had very very low progesterone.and was never told of a connection to PCOS. I did take progesterone supplements which led to a healthy pregnancy and baby!

low progesterone in my last pregnancy, and I have a history of polycystic ovaries. not sure if there is a correlation as I didn't have low progesterone with my first pregnancy.
