melissa4u,

Low milk supply at the time of breastfeeding is not a sign of low progesterone now. If you were low in anything my first target would be to address prolactin. During your pregnancy your progesterone production goes up by a factor of 10. The only way to know if it was low then is to be tested. That you conceived and carried to term is a pretty good indicator that progesterone level was not a problem. If you are not experiencing things related to thin lining or midcycle bleeding then I would say that is a pretty good indicator that you are not currently low in progesterone. If your cycles are regular and everything is going well, progesterone is probably just fine.

Progesterone cream is not one of those things to "just try." If you don't need it but take it anyway it could really mess you up. I have seen this over and over and over.

Just out of curiosity, what leads you to believe that you have a progesterone deficiency?

Aside from what you have already said, what lead you to believe that your milk supply was low?
