Did he do some testing? If your progesterone levels were low, this would account for the Prometrium. Progesterone is a key player in getting pregnant.
Sometimes it will be used if someone has had several unexplained miscarriages as a precaution since having adequate progestrone levels helps to sustain a pregnancy... usually the placenta will provide this function early in a pregnancy, but sometimes it is not enough. Progesterone also plays a role in conceiving in the first place as it helps with the body preparing for fertilization. Some women have it prescribed, or use a natural progesterone cream, to extend a too short luteal phase (the time between ovulation and your period).
