I got my 12 dpo results today and they were 36! At 10 dpo they were only 13 but they didn't seem concerned at all and scheduled my first appt.
Congratulations! xx

I hope you're all right, I really do.
I woke up and took my temp and it's really low today, lower than yesterday. I swear, if this is a progesterone issue like I've been harping on about and all the doctors and nurses I've seen have brushed me off saying "progesterone suppolements are useless, or a pregnancy will fail, it will fail". easy for them to say - they make money off people's heartache
I need this to work out so badly. We have been TTC for close to 5 years and each month makes it harder to continue on this journey, even though having a baby is all that we want.
Thanks for listening.... As you can imagine I'm in absolute shreds over this.
Those suggestions sound great (thank you!) but unfortunately I am in Australia, and progesterone is a restricted medicine that can only be prescribed by a fertility specialist, and absolutely nothing containing progesterone can be sold OTC. same goes for Walmart tests - no Walmart here. I have a bunch of Internet cheapies, 3 FRER and a CBD. I am too scared to test.
My mum contacted me earlier and let me know my grandmother is in the hospital so now I am worried about her too.
I just hope and pray that everything will be ok.
When I was seeing my GP, I asked her in the past about it and she showed me her computer and that she could not proceed with the prescription because her system would not allow it because she did not have the authority to prescribe that type of medication.

I think you should test. I think it would help. What were you using before? It was the FRER's right? Then keep on with them. You haven' taken one in a while, it should reassure you pretty good to see a nice line on it. BC I'm willing to bet that there will be a nice one on there. I forgot that you are in AU. Damn. That sucks. You could always try to order it and see if it makes it through customs.... OR look online and see if their are any doctors online that will prescribe it for you? Can just a regular doctor not Rx it for you, bc it's not just used for fertility/conceiving, it's used for menopause,
Actually, here is a little article that tells you all it's uses when Rx'd:
Progesterone cream is sometimes used in hormone replacement therapy and for treating menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes. Topical progesterone is also used for treating or preventing certain allergies in which hormones play a role; and for treating bloating, breast tenderness, decreased sex drive, depression, fatigue, lumpy (fibrocystic) breasts, headaches, low blood sugar, increased blood clotting, infertility, irritability, memory loss, miscarriages, brittle bones (osteoporosis), bone loss in younger women, symptoms of PMS, thyroid problems, "foggy thinking," uterine cancer, uterine fibroids, water retention, weight gain, and vaginal irritation (vulval lichen sclerosis).
Progesterone gel is sometimes used inside the vagina to expand the cervix (cervical ripening), treat breast pain in women with noncancerous breast disease, and to prevent and treat abnormal thickening of the lining of the uterus (endometrial hyperplasia).
Progesterone is also used intravaginally or by injection for treating infertility and symptoms of (PMS).
So could you not get a dr to rx it for you for some of those things? There are also things that contain progesterone in them with other things that you "may" be able to get through customs, as it's not exactly a prescription and labeled for other uses.
Aww, your excitement is lovely, and is making me feel teary to know that there are people on here who I've never met that are so kind and rooting for me and our little one. Thank you xxx I hope in time there is good news for all!
