Do Low Levels Of Progesterone Cause Pregnancy Result To Appear Negative?
My last period was on june 1 but it was very light pink and only when i wiped no blood and little bit of brown discharge. I am on progesterone cream 8% because my hormone levels were low. I took a pregnancy test it came out negative. could it be negative because of my level being low and could i still be pregnant

Hi,
Thanks for your question
For your information, pregnancy test positivity is mainly based on presence of Hcg (human chorionic gonadotrophin) hormone not on progesterone. Progesterone helps to maintain pregnancy.
I hope I was able to address your query. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to write to me.
Wishing you all the best.
Thanks
