Specializes in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility

See your doctor: Low Progesterone is usually a sign of an ovulation problem rather than the cause of infertility. Most fertility docs would consider using a drug like Clomid (clomiphene) to treat this. This should be managed by your gyn or a reproductive medicine specialist.
