I'm on prometrium. It's like a little pink/peach ball. It can be taken both orally and vaginally . I take 100 mg before bed then 100 mg again when I wake up in the morning but then go back to sleep again lol. I choose to do it vaginally because I believe you get less side effects that way and it's more direct.

 

[confuzion]

We're exactly a week apart angel!

 

[Angelbaby_01]

Those sound nice. I have torpedos............. they are huge!!!!

Yay for being one week apart! Oh, my due date changed to 16th of Feb since I calculated from ov date. So my ticker will go to 4+2 soon, but I am still actually 4+1. Will change my siggy later on the laptop.

 

[confuzion]

Yeah I go by LMP too since that's what doctor's go by. I should technically be 5+3 since I ovulate early. But I think this one was a late implanter so might actually be right on schedule with LMP regardless lol.

 

[confuzion]

Did a google search. Those things ARE huge @ 'torpedoes'!

 

[Angelbaby_01]

Hehe feels like I am using a soapy tampon whilst actually being pregnant............

 

[confuzion]

LOL yeah I've been using pantiliners at night. Otherwise I wake up to an icky situation.

Why did they put you on progesterone Angel? Did you ever get your result from the progesterone blood test?

 

[Angelbaby_01]

They never send it through, but the doctor said that two losses are too many and usually the cause of miscarriage are low progesterone, blood clotting and something wrong with baby itself. That is why he put me on progesterone, ecotrin and extra folic acid.

had a terrible dream last night that i started to bleed just like last time! I`ve woken up so upset. every little twinge I think is a cramp and I`m petrified about going to the toilet in-case there's blood!!

i did another clearblue digital this morning and despite it saying pregnant in less that a minuet it took ages for the conception to come up and it still says 1-2 weeks and I guess I was hoping for a 2-3. do you think this is normal?

Welcome to ladies who joined.
Good luck with your scans, Jbaby and Mommy2missR.
I'm not on progesterone. I have some at home, I got it when I was spotting just before the mc, but I'm not taking it. I don't think low progesterone is a problem for me. My problem is high FSH. I gor pregnant twice on clomid (it really shouldn't have worked, high FSH - and I'm saying pre-menopausal levels - means either that your chances of getting pregnant are extremely low or there is a high chance of mc if you happen to get pregnant after all). In spite of that, I'm feeling rather optimistic. Still, I'm terrified every time I go to the toilet, especially with No.2...

 

[Angelbaby_01]

MrsLemon, please don't trust the cb digi for progression. It cause many ladies unnecessary stress. Also, I think the dreams are just reflecting our inner fear and doesn't always mean something. I know it's hard, but try not to stress and don't test anymore. Chuck the tests away. I get some cramping as well, but read that implantation is still in progress at week 4. From week 5 onward we still get af type cramps, but that could be due to stretching. Unless you are doubled in pain or start bleeding red I won't worry hun. Go enjoy a cup of tea. I prefer Rooibos because it does have a calming effect and contains no caffeine.

Katy, you are carrying your rainbow and all will be going well. Yay for feeling optimistic. I think we all do have a little fear although we are excited to be pregnant.

 

[Katy78]

MrsLemon, I missed your post because I took my time posting mine (I'm at work) so it posted after yours.
As Angelbaby_01 wrote, you shouldn't trust digi progression. They are often wrong (they weren't in my case unfortunately but I googled it a lot at the time and found a lot of stories of women who had that problem ad carried their little ones to term). Also, hcg levels grow with different rate in different women. So try not to worry (I know that can be impossible though...).
Try to take it one day at a time and enjoy every day of being pregnant.

[Katy78]

Yay! Congrats!

 

[savvysaver]

Great news Jbaby!


Can I ask a TMI question? I am also on the progesterone 200mg suppositories. I insert one each night. How far are you girls inserting them? I have little to no discharge, but when I get up in the morning there is a bunch of white bits in my urine. Hoping I am using them correctly!

 

[Angelbaby_01]

Jbaby, what a lovely scan pick. Congratulations hun!

Savvysaver, I didn't really look when I go to the loo, but I do get some white stuff on panties. Will need to get pantyliners today as well.

I forgot to mention - I got my very first ever "O" in my sleep yesterday morning. I felt crampy afterward and was a little embarrassed. Lol I didn't even dream anything that could cause it!

 

[savvysaver]

I know I should stop testing but I still have a bag of those cheapie tests. Anyways the line is noticeably lighter today so I start to worry. I had one clearblue digital left so I took it and it came up quick "pregnant 3+", last week is was "2-3" so I feel better. Then I remember reading a long time ago about higher levels of hcg causing negative tests, I diluted my urine with a bit of water and my darker line was back. I think I will throw the rest of the tests away, I don't need another scare!

 

[Angelbaby_01]

Yes, throw them away!!! I am glad that you got a 3+ reading and got a darker line, but it might have caused unnecessary stress if the dye was less in the tests so I would suggest to stop testing

 

[Katy78]

savvysaver, yay for 3+! You can stop testing now.
I have about 4 ICs left. I'll pee on one this evening (last one was two days ago, wow). I'm only 4 weeks today and hormone levels shouldn't be too high yet. There should be a nice progression
Angelbaby_01, I don't think I ever O'ed in my sleep, came close a couple of times. But I think that's more common in pregnancy. Like vivid dreams in general.

 

[Angelbaby_01]

It's really weird and not something I would like to experience again. I know some ladies say they liked it, but I don't. Feels way too weird!
