Sending positive thoughts your way! I also have a history of low progesterone (now sure if that's what caused my mc in April 2014 or not) but I used progesterone suppositories, 200mg 2x a day, with my rainbow and so they said I could use them this time as well. (Even though my progesterone wasn't technically low this time around) I hope you are able to be seen right away! 

I did the suppositories with DD2 because it was low. However, with her I went in for initial b/w at 5 weeks. This time when I got my bfp all they asked was if i have a history of miscarriage (which I do not) and then scheduled b/w and an u/s for almost 7 weeks. So I'm a little frustrated that they never thought my levels should be checked before. But it is what it is and I should get my results in another hour or so.

FX for good news! From my understanding, progesterone supplements can't harm anything, which is why I asked my DR if I could just take them anyway... just because that was the only thing I felt was different between my loss and my pregnancy w/ DD. Probably more of a mental thing. Did they know that you had low progesterone and were on supplements with your previous pregnancy? You'd think bc of that reason alone that they'd want it to be tested.... hang in there hun. Keep us posted! ((HUGS))

hmr11913 A quick look into my chart when I made my appointment and they would have known. I probably should have told them outright rather than assuming they'd see that.

I need to tell my H to stop bringing me all the fruity pebbles cereal boxes in with him. I just had a bowl for dessert after eating a salad, chicharron, and fried plantains.
Meanwhile my poor munchkin got my nasty cold and will only eat a minute at a time.
mrsp121308 i hope everything is ok and you get the progesterone you need soon!

[eristin]

Hope all is ok mrsp121308 !
That all sounds delicious anaberry . Hope your little one feels better soon!

So I've been MIA since last week... I've been paranoid since my DD accidentally kneed me right about where baby is. I had some strange cramping and immediately thought the worst. But I'm choosing to think positive until my doctor appt.

Your baby should be OK - he or she is nestled and very protectes by the pelvic bone right now. I know its hard not to worry, but right now is when the tiny on is the safest from external prodings. When is your dr appointment?

Thanks... I really hope so! I've changed how I'm feeding my daughter to avoid that happening again.

My appt is on the 26th, and they said they'll do an ultrasound.

I worked late today. My sis picked up DS from DC. He did surprisingly well with her. It was his bedtime by the time we got home. Hope tomorrow I get some quality time with him. The nights, lying in bed, are the worst without dh. I jump at every little sound.

[serpentine85]

I wanna play!


Random thought for the day:
You know you have a toddler when you find bikipeg in your bra and don't think to question how it got there.

Yep, thats dear son.

[winewinebustarhyme]

Only 5 +2. Will be about 7+4 on the 29th. I've been kind of wavering on trying a new doctor anyway so this could give me that opportunity. WWYD?!

If youve been thinking about trying out a new dr now is def. The time to do it!!

[requiressnacks]

@kc295905, my RE didn't want to see me until my 7th week. So I guess that makes sense. Sorry you have to wait!

[legalbeagle]

@kc295905, yeah I'm not seeing my doc until 8 weeks. Boo to waiting!

You guys will love this, yesterday at work someone I know (more of an acquaintance but maybe she thinks we are friends?) who I don't see super often (maybe once a month) pulled me aside and said "Are you pregnant?" I was like "no, maybe I should lay off the donuts?" but inside I was like "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!" A better response may have been that I have been eating through all my sadness the last few months. Don't ask, people!

[requiressnacks]

legalbeagle, that is so crazy! Who says stuff like that?!

[legalbeagle]

I don't even think she understood how embarrassed I felt (I have gained some weight in the last few months, but like five pounds!) and sad. I may say something to her later about it when I am out with this pregnancy (knock on wood) so that she doesn't make the same mistake again with someone else. She doesn't have great people skills -- to put it mildly.

[requiressnacks]

legalbeagle, I gained like 10 lbs over the holidays and haven't been able to get it off. It is hard, with all the feelings, etc.

[legalbeagle]

In happy news, I've been a lot less constipated this pregnancy and I am chalking it up to coconut water. Drink up people!

I hear pregnancy can either constipate you or make you regular like clockwork. I've been lucky to not suffer the constipation symptom!

[mrsp121308]

Thanks for all the good vibes, ladies. Finally heard back and I have low progesterone again so I start the vaginal suppositories. On the bright side, I get an u/s every other week now so I'll see baby more and all my other counts looked awesome.

I'm so glad that they finally got you on progesterone! And yay for lots of ultrasounds!!

Lots of ultrasounds is the best thing about being high risk! Great that everything else is looking good, and that you can do something about the progesterone.

[legalbeagle]

Hooray mrsp121308!

Glad to hear it! U/s can be great reassurance.

I'm also on progesterone but take pills. Any side affects for the suppositories? Do you know if one is better than the other? I take mine at night because it makes me sleepy.

[littlelion]

My throat's been feeling scratchy all day. *groan*

Also, I must be horny. Last night I dreamt I was having sex with DH. And it was good. Then, today while driving, that song "cake by the ocean" came on. I kept singing "sex by the ocean".

I have only ever gotten the suppositories. My understanding is that the pills and injections are used if you are really low instead of just barely considered low progesterone.

Not sure of major side effects but since they are inserted in the vag it does feel extra gooey down there for about 30 minutes after. So there's that.

I take the suppositories as well. I'm doing three times a day and I feel like it's leaking out basically all day. I think I'd rather do injections. No real side effects though, just annoying and expensive.

[anaberry]

I had to take progesterone last time because my placenta was ontop of my cervix at first and I was bleeding. Fingers closed ghat doesnt happen again! I hope progesterone does its trick for you ladies!

[Becca]

Holy shit, just left the RE- twins! My mind is a little boggled right now. Did not see that coming. Total game changer.
