Cramping every day and on duphaston - possible to miscarry?

expatttc · Apr 16th, 2012, 02:50 AM

Hi ladies,
I should be at 5 weeks tomorrow, and have been on duphaston (synthetic progesterone) since 2 dpo. I was supposed to take it for 14 days, but now am told that I may need to be on it till the end of the first trimester (I'm waiting to speak with a specialist about it tomorrow, via phone since I'm based in the middle of nowhere in the Pacific with the UN).
I have been having cramping - no spotting, for a week now. It feels just like af, and I don't know if it's more or less due to the progesterone, or the pregnancy.
I was just wondering if anyone knows if you can get pregnant, have a miscarriage, but if you're on progesterone, if that stops you from bleeding out or spotting?

I don't know anything about the progesterone bit but I'm sure that cramping, especially in early pregnancy is very normal due to everything moving around and stretching so try not to worry

its a v good sign you've had not bleeding or spotting but remember that that can also be nothing at all and doesn't always mean miscarriage x
