I use a natural progesterone -- buy it off
the internet, actually. Have been using
it for a year now and it is awesome! It
is made by a company called emerita and is
called progest.
Good luck! :d

Is this safe when trying to concieve?
I've had two miscarriages and read that
progeterone "could be" the problem.

The reason you've heard that progesterone
could be the problem is that when the egg
is fertilized the body naturally keeps
producing progesterone. In a normal
cycle, at the time of ovulation,
progesterone is at its peak....If
conception does not occur it begins to
drop. Progesterone helps to maintain the
pregnancy. So, your answer is 'no',
taking natural progesterone cream will not
be a problem. However, I would ask your
doctor to run your hormone levels at or
around peak time to see if you are low on
progesterone. Generally, if a woman
conceives, and progesterone is low, she
will begin to spot. Then, sometimes a
shot of progesterone is required. If you
use progesterone cream, it is not
necessary, as a rule, to use it during
your period.
