Call now. They can get you on supplements progesterone- either vag pills or ass shots.
theophania has been through progesterone hell in the past and I know she has good advice on the topic

LovesMeSomeCake , I'd call your ob. You can be put on progesterone suppositories.
+1 to that
You didn't say what you're levels were, but if it is really low, definitely call sooner rather than later to not risk it. The suppositories are an easy (albeit, expensive) fix if you do need to get your levels up. But word to the wise: get some panty liners if they prescribe it... because what goes up...

And this is why I love PIO. It may be a pain in the ass, but at least I don't have swamp vag

I was on the suppositories after my first IVF and am on them again after this IUI. They do suck, but I wouldn't describe them as swampy.
TMI following: No one told me the first time you're supposed to do a "sweep" with your finger in the shower periodically and I ended up passing a huge clump of odorless ricotta-cheesy progesterone. I know that sounds gross, and it was. But yeah, there's some extra added fun if you get the suppositories lol **shiver**

I had no idea they had a shot option for progesterone! I said to my H that I would much rather do an injection every day rather than deal with constant leakage. I did suppositories with my last pregnancy and this one and it sucks.

Well shit meerkatmillie, I didn't know this was a thing. Lovely.

Hahaha me neither. You really do learn something new everyday!
@lovemeskmcake, like other pos, I'd call the doctor sooner rather than later. I'm on the oral form but take them at night cause they make you super drowsy

Yup. Many RE's prefer it since it registers more quickly on bloodwork than suppositories.
It is an intramuscular shot in the glutes. So literal pain in the ass. I still have buttlumps from our lost baby in January.

Okay, I'm really wishing I had known that little tidbit. I haven't dealt with too much swampiness, until this weekend. Whoa. Just...whoa.
Dr. just called, HCG is high, but progesterone is average to low, and that I should talk to OB. is that like, hang up and call, or wait till your appointment in 8 days to discuss? trying not to google but...scurred for sure.
Looks like we're in the same boat. Just got a call, hcg up to 300 (from 91 on Friday), but progesterone is on the low side (I think they said 10.8), so another beta for Wednesday. And I messaged asking if it was too early to start thinking about progesterone supplements...

The earlier you start the earlier they help. Waiting does nothing in regards to progesterone levels except give them more time to drop.
A level of 10 is on the low side of normal but if it were me I would take the progesterone in whatever form your OB/RE will prescribe until you find out something else.
Thank you to everyone who sent me well wishes. I tested this morning and it officially said not pregnant. I really enjoyed hanging out with you all for the last week. J17 will be what finally brought me out of lurkdom. Happy and healthy nine months to all the rest. I hope no one else has to join this shitty club.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Take care of yourself.
Many big ((hugs)) for you summerrain. Be gentle with yourself. Feel what you need to feel, even if you can't decide what that is. I'm very very sorry for your loss.
