Hi, could you post the link to where you bought the progesterone cream please?
As suspected my Gp said that there is no need for progesterone at this stage, if I get pregnant I have to phone the surgery straight away so my blood levels can be checked for HGC and progesterone. He said I will be closely monitored which is good.
In the meantime he does advise taking low dose aspirin and he prescribed that along with 400mg folic acid. I had already bought the aspirin from Boots anyway.

Hi, Im now 9DPO and in the tww. I've been taking low dose aspirin since before ovulation. I never bought the progesterone cream, I decided to wait.
I spoke with my doctor and he said the minute I get another BFP I have to call up and get bloods checked for HGC and progesterone levels, Im hoping if low progesterone is detected then maybe he will prescribe a supplement.
Im going to wait until Monday and if my period hasnt came then I will test then at13DPO. Good luck to everyone else x

Hi Ladies.

I too am in 2ww, I started taking progesterone (cyclogest 400mg pessary) after I ov'd on Saturday, you can get this on prescription, the trick is finding a sympathetic gp, who is happy to prescribe on a can't do any harm basis.

There are trials taking place at the moment (PROMISE) at a number of UK hospitals, the problem with this is that you may get the placebo.

You could try your gp or buy online from a reputable company.

All my tests have come back clear, the only thing I haven't had is NK Cell testing which I am looking into now.

I figure with nothing to lose, it's best just to through everything at my next BFP.

Good luck to everyone xxx
With the aspirin, it has never stopped me from m/c, but has worked for my cousin twice, so I took 75mg daily last time, this time I am going to take 100mg daily along with the progesterone.

I think that aspirin and progesterone are a great idea while ttc after mc but make sure that you never use the synthetic version of progesterone. It's called progestine. It has a very high likely hood of causing spontaneous abortion, so make sure you get the real thing!
