Due Sept 2017

[rockstarlove9]

Hey are any of you ladies on or been on the progesterone suppositories? If so did any thing weird start happening once you stopped? Bleeding, cramping, loss of symptoms, or God forbid mc? Im due to stop mines at twelve weeks and feel uneasy

Rockstar- I stopped mine abruptly at 10 weeks, just the other day. I would hope my clinic wouldn't have put me at risk of loosing this pregnancy by having me stop when they did. I'm assuming everything is fine, still am nauseous, no cramping, no spotting. The placenta starts making progesterone at 10 weeks, although I've even seen some sources say as early as 8 weeks. I think stopping at 12 weeks is being very cautious because the placenta will have already been making it for two weeks. I understand your fears though. I was scared to stop taking it with my first pregnancy at 5 weeks even though the clinic assured me my body didn't need the extra support. I don't feel scared this time, just relieved to be done.

Hey im eleven weeks exactly and just wanted to know if any of you ladies have had the heavy constant pressure feeling in your uterus area. kind of feels like a water balloon is sitting in there?

Yes especially if I let my bladder get too full then it's almost painful kind of pressure.

I had the cell free DNA test on the 14th and haven't gotten any results yet still waiting excitedly.

Congratulations on the baby girl Savasanna

MrsK I also believe I have begun to feel movement and I think it started around the same time the last time

Thanks I swear goggle will have me in a sabbatical before this baby is born. I keep reading online about women who stop taking them and then have complications afterwards. My doctor isn't concerned and originally told me to stop at ten weeks as week but allowed me to continue to twelve for my own comfort. I swear if everything is ok after my ultrasound tomorrow im steering clear of google and all the excess worry and just going to enjoy my pregnancy. I know that once you hear a heartbeat your baby is probably gonna make it to the end or roundabouts and I have heard it but its just so hard to not worry about every freaking thing and its driving me nuts and making me treasure everything at the same time.

Google is the death of me too... it's so hard not to worry!! I haven't looked up if women miscarry after stopping so maybe that's why I don't feel nervous. I've been obsessing over different things. Haha. I think this is where we just have to trust that our bodies can do this.

I guess I should edit that I do have cramps but I've been cramping on and off for the whole time so it doesn't feel different than before stopping the progesterone.

 

[Savasanna]

Yes - google is the devil! Such a curse and a blessing. For the most part, I've been staying away from any scary googles, and instead look up fun ones. ex - what 12 week ultrasounds look like so I can imagine what stage I'm at.

Thanks, ladybrown! Hope you get your results soon!

Yeah ive been having some mild cramping to while on the progesterone mostly just pressure though. I swear you take a little weight off my shoulders and your right we really do have to trust our bodies to do what it Is supposed to do. Yeah I think after my u/s tomorrow I will write google off as the devil.

Got the results of my free cell DNA test! No genetic markers for anything and were having a boy! So glad we found out early because we have two girls, no boy clothes and very little extra cash so will be hiting people up for hand me downs for sure! My husband ended up being in the car with me when I called the Dr for the results (I called earlier and they said they had them but my Dr was with a patient and would have to call me back so I was waiting on pins and needles all day) I turned the volume way down on my phone so he couldn't hear hehe I tried to react like it was a girl and when I got off the phone he said is it another girl? And I said your having a son lol his face was priceless

 

[ladybrown33]

Good morning ladies... your resident lurker here. Just checking in to share the results of my first official u/s that I had yesterday at 8w5d: little critter is measuring at the right size (22 mm) with a strong hb of 175. Everything is looking good so far.

Back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Congratulations to those that have already found out the gender of their little ones, I have to wait until my 20 week scan, unless I pay for a private scan

 

[MrsKChicago]

Yay for a baby girl!

We're probably paying for an early scan in a couple weeks. It's only $50 to check sex and I had fun doing it last time.

 

[Babybump2017]

Aww congrats to those that have found out everything is okay and gender how exciting! I still have another 4 weeks until I can find out at 16 weeks (early scan) however my 12 week scan is tomorrow. I have to admit it's probably gonna be the scariest moment of my entire life after what I saw at my last 12 week scan however it trying not to think about that... although so so hard!
