Sarah, I also had a normal pregnancy 8 yrs ago. When I started ttc #2 I had 3 losses in a row. I finally had a 21day progesterone test and was dignosed with a leutal phase defect. My OB said some times after a pregnancy your hormones can be altered and cause these problems. I am in no way suggesting this is your problem but I would suggest having your hormone levels checked before ttc again. You really can't tell if progesteone is the problem without having a test 7dpo. I am on my third pregnancy now with the use of progesterone supplements.
