What Causes Low Progesterone Levels Inspite Of Trying To Conceive?

We can't exclude pregnancy ,even if you have low progesterone
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear and thanks for your query.
If your progesterone level is less than 1 ng/ml chances to be pregnant are very low but there are many cases that women have low progesterone and are pregnant.
Hence take a pregnancy test at home and confirm /exclude pregnancy.
If it is negative and your progesterone level is less than one this doesn't mean that you don't ovulate all the time and you are near menopause. There are lot of variations in progesterone levels taken on the 21st day as even the time of collecting blood sample is very important. Progesterone secretion varies at different parts of day. So generally nowadays they are not taken so seriously to assess ovulation.
But contact with a gynecologist because you may have to be treated with progesterone therapy.
All the best
