I've had cinnamon toast for breakfast the last 2 mornings, it's delicious!!

I'm on progesterone supp too and these fears have been in the back of my head since. I have the nausea and really, really sore bb's. I'm tired but am also having some insomnia, abd bloating and moodiness. All of which could be pregnancy symptoms or could be progesterone side effects. I've been super worried, I have a scan scheduled for tomorrow to hopefully see a heartbeat.

 

[reedsgirl1138]

Good luck tomorrow Arein!!

I dont really have any side affects of the progestrone..my bbs are not really sore at all. They were tender but not anymore...I have been thinking about calling the dr and being checked but I have not had any bleeding or anything and just minor cramps that I can associate with early pregnancy. What do you ladies think?

Hi Reedsgirl. When is your next scheduled appointment?

It sounds like everything is progressing normally. My sister in law had twins and her symptoms didn't seem much stronger than those pregnant with 1 baby around her. I'm sure things are going just fine, but if it would give you peace of mind to get a reassurance scan then it can't hurt to call and see what can be done.

I dont go back til the 16..next thursday. My best friend is having her baby tomorrow and will be delivering right across from my dr office and I was thinking about calling and seeing if they can work me in...

reeds - lol.. damnit, I was hoping my mild symptoms were a sign there's only one in here! Lol.. you keep shooting holes in my theories! I'll find out in 2 days though... will be happy no matter what, just figure its easier with just one at a time

 

[reedsgirl1138]

Lisa have you had your levels done anymore? What were your levels?

 

[lisaf]

I haven't had my levels done in over a week.
They went from 35 at 11dpo to 1055 at 18dpo... doubling every 34 hours I think? I looked up your numbers and they were doubling every 39 hours at that stage lol

 

[reedsgirl1138]

Good luck at your scan. At least your prepared wither way!! CAn't wait to see your pic!

 

[lisaf]

lol, thanks!!

Hello there! I am totally new to all of this but was really pleased to see your post! I'm 7.5 weeks pg and am on Cyclogest. I too have sore boobs - on and off, sicky feeling but never sick and sproadic bouts of severe tiredness. I was feeling really anxious that maybe it had stopped growing or I wasn't really pregnant....even though we had a scan at 6 weeks and saw a grain of rice with a strong heart beat! No cramps or spottting at all. I think progesterone may take the edge of the HCG or as we are all on progesterone i'm guessing many have been through a lot to get here and maybe our bodies are just better at dealing with all the extra chemicals weve pumped in over the years...eg clomid, IVF etc! Whatever the reason im sure this is probably better than been physically sick!
A little bit about me.... first time pregnant in 4 years of TTC. Clomid failed, IVF failed cycle 1, then I started cycle 2 of IVF, did the first round of injections...for 19 days and still no period. Turns out I got pregnant naturally about 7 days after starting IVF! Whilst mountain climbing and drinking wine in france, how wonderfully random. So now i'm terrified that at any moment it will go away, and not having many symptoms doesn't make me feel better!
Phew...feel better after getting that off my chest! Fingers crosed for everyone xxx

 

[AreIn83]

Welcome and congrats, how far are you?

 

[lisaf]

Dizzy - LOL... I love your theory that all the hormones we went through in TTCing prepared our bodies better to deal with pregnancy hormones!!
I'm sticking with that theory any time I'm worried about my symptoms not being big enough etc!!

And amazing story! Congrats!

Hi ladies,

I WAS on the suppositories, until the night before last. I am actually hoping that coming off them will relieve the intensity of some of my symptoms - especially the sore boobies. But of course I am also worried that I stopped them too soon (12 weeks) and that I could start spotting. So I am relieved and terrified all at the same time! Can't win, huh?

Oh, and AreIn - I remember you from SMEP - congrats!

 

[Soph22]

I'm on them too! Did anyone get info on how far apart they're supposed to take them? I'm supposed to take them twice a day. I've been taking them before bed and then getting up early, taking it, then laying back down for 1/2 hour. It's more than 12 hours between doses during the day and then less than 12 hours. Does it matter?

 

[lisaf]

I don't know officially if thats ok Soph... but I know thats how lots of women take it who have to space them out!

 

[AreIn83]

Spoh-that's how I was instructed to use them, as well.

leesa-Hey! Congrats to you!
