Babies due in JUNE!

[Sunshine12]

So I am worried...

10/10 HCG 388 Prog 14.6
10/12 HCG 789 Prog 12.9

Prog should be increasing and as far as I know, it's been decreasing since my first test on 10/5, at which time it was 17.

Sorry I think I missed your post earlier. Have docs said if there are any supplements they can give you to increase your progesterone? x

Aarghh and just read your last post. Doh! Well thats good then. That should make it go up. The fact that your hcg levels are doubling is great so if they can sort the prog you should be sorted! Its fab that you are getting tested so regularly. I spoke to midwife on phone today and they said they wont do these tests as if my body doesnt want to alter itself to accommodate the babys needs then there isnt anything they can do about it. Twats. xx

Lilmama, it should work. Unlike me you have a really high hcg. Mine never went over 100. Good luck and have faith, God willing the progesterone will help.

It amazes me how hand's off they are. Even in my own situation...it's been really hard *sigh*.

I just pray I am the only one who fell off the June wagon....

Thanks for the support! Going back on Friday.

WELCOME DESTIN! H&H 9+ months!

sadie - I am SUPER crampy. It's the only pregnancy symptom I have unfortunately and, you're right, it's disconcerting.

lilmamatoW - Good to read that your doctor is on top of this. And hopefully that progesterone level will be headed in the opposite direction! Keep us posted.

Welcome to the thread and try not to panic. Everyone gets different levels of cramps and different symptoms so Im sure its fine. Your ultrasound will put your mind at rest. Let us know how you get on and congratulations on your pregnancy.!! x

WELCOME DESTIN! Glad to have you here!

I felt like I was surrounded by baby talk yesterday! It was a topic with a number of my clients (I'm a psychologist). Also, a friend at work asked how the "baby-making" was going - I knew I couldn't keep it a secret from her and it felt really good to have someone to talk to. She's got 2 kids already, so she's a great resource.

Now, DH and I both have colds. The congestion, sore throat, and low-grade fever are such a delight on top of the headache and upset tummy! But now I have a "legit" reason for being a little off my game at work.

My friend, who has experienced three MC, advised me yesterday to remember to be my best advocate and to ask a lot of questions. It's something that she regrets not having done during her early losses. The Dr (not my regular dr who is on vacation this week) was reluctant to give me the progesterone, but then when I started asking questions, she went back and asked another dr who is very familiar with the way my dr handles patients and agreed that my dr would probably give me the progesterone. At the end of the day, I think that sometimes drs don't think much about one or two miscarriages (they pay attention when it's "recurrent") but I think we have to make them remember that once miscarriage is a big deal to us and that we, as moms, have to know that we did all we could for our babies.

Hope we all have a good day...will keep you posted about stuff. Thanks so much for your support!

Oh, man, Rashaa - I am so very sorry. I can not imagine. Big hugs to you!

 

[sadie]

We definitely have to fight for what we believe in, feel is right. Im glad you pushed.

You know, I was never a big fan of chicken, no matter how it was prepared. i grew up eating it constantly, yet reluctantly.

Last night I made chicken burritos because I wanted to get some protein from something other than eggs and yogurt. With each bite, I was gagging. It smelled like cooked rodent and so I took out the chicken pieces and fed them to the dog who gobbled them up. Fast forward to tonight's dinner.... leftover burrito.... And sure enough, the smell was totally sickening. The chicken was not bad, Im sure of that. however I do think my pregnancy nose/tastebuds are kicking in! And I kind of think that's neat.

Destin, what happened at your scan?

It's totally neat. I had a problem with chicken early in my first pregnancy as well.

I dont think Im having "problems" with specific foods, as of yet. Im just wanting rice like it's candy or something! I've been eating it with everything. No weird concoctions, just soups and stuff.I had to go buy another box last night! HAHA!

Soda has been hurting my tummy. I usually drink a lot of it, but cant seem to stomach it lately - literally.

 

[lilmamatoW]

So heard from the dr. office and I am so glad that I asked for the progesterone suppositories! My HCG more than doubled and my prog went back to a good level too!

10/5 HCG just barely pregnant Prog 17
10/7 HCG 62 Prog 15
10/10 HCG 388 Prog 14.6
10/12 HCG 789 Prog 12.9
10/14 HCG 2200 Prog 24!!!

Relieved! This doesn't mean that I am not going to be nervous for the next 34 or so weeks, but it does feel for the moment. Thanks for your support...going back again next week for another test just because I am on the progesterone.

Hi! I just got a BFP after 8 months (9 cycles) of TTC after IUD removal. I am 36 and have a DS who is 9. It's really early and I had a Chemical pregnancy 2 cycles ago. BUT this time the tests are getting darker so I'm being cautiously optimistic! Nice to be here!

Oh and EDD (from FF) is June 25, 2012
