sugarpi - that doesn't make any sense to me to be taking progesterone on CD1. I think that would mess you up even more! It's a little better to say to take it on the 5th of every month... but that seems a bit random as well. If you haven't seen af for more than 30 days, I would take the progesterone for 12 days. Hopefully, once you stop taking it, you'll start to bleed. After you have a good bleed (each time you do), then I would take another 12 days starting on day 14 or so of your cycle (based on a 28 day cycle... but any day after CD14 would work just as well). I don't mean to be trumping what your doctor is telling you to do, but if you know how progesterone works, then taking it on CD1 is not going to help you.

I've actually only had luck taking provera (which is a progesterone-type drug and will induce af... you take it for 5 days or something like that), or NPC - which has worked for me 100% of the time - I order mine online. I would think the progesterone your doctor is prescribing would work, but if not, maybe ask for provera .. or order some NPC. GL!

I still havent started bleeding...it actually has stopped currently. all ive been getting is brown...some pink but mainly brown, but now thats gone. They told me to just take it on the 5th of every month for 12 days...(and since my pills were due to arrive late they said take it whenever i get them no problem). I would do provera...and i have before but i wont anymore...because if you are pregnant it will cause a miscarriage and progesterone is safer...i dont like the idea of provera, everyone is different i almost think not taking progesterone would just be better off that way ill just go with whatever happens....GRR! this is frustrating! Thank you for your help! ill look into NPC.

What is NPC?

 

[sugarpi24]

Natural progesterone cream I believe

 

[Cridge]

Wss ^^

 

[sugarpi24]

Lol pretty soon every word we say will be abbreviated

 

[Cridge]

Sugarpi - I had a thought early this morning... when I use NPC, I continue to use it until I'm full-on bleeding, even if I start spotting. I wonder if 12 days just isn't enough and you need to be taking it a little longer.

 

[karenh]

We are approved! Now we wait! Holy cow, sorry, but I am so excited!

 

[TonyaG]

[~Brandy~]

Now you're on the list for the selection process?

YAY!!!

 

[Chook]

Woohoo Karen!!!!!! That's awesome news. I'm have everything crossed that the rest of your journey to get a child in your arms is quick !!!! It must have been sooo frustrating for you waiting to be approved. Yay! So happy for you hun xox

 

[Chook]

Cridge- are you guys going to try again? It's just I noticed you have been here a bit more lately

 

[Cridge]

Yay Karen!! So excited for you!!

Chook - I've just had a lot to say, I guess. Although I am planning on talking to my doc at my annual check-up (supposed to be December, but I haven't made the appointment yet) about using up my gonal-f. I don't know that I'm ready to start doing that kind of thing before next May though. And honestly, having a toddler and a baby terrifies me, so I'm just not sure. How are things going with you? Are you going to find out the sex of your little babe?

 

[Chook]

I can understand that! We are never doing this again lol. Joel was saying the other night we could go back and try the protocol we tried this time bla bla bla and if looks could kill I would be a widow. I've just started weaning steroids today so will take about 6 weeks to get to half my dose and I will stay on that dose to baby is born. I will also be continuing clexane and aspirin until 3 weeks after the birth. It's so good to finally have a plan. I don't like being a test case at all. We have already had 5 scans and I have another in 3 weeks so I think we can find out the gender then. We both want to know

 

[Cridge]

Ugh! Is your stomach still black and blue? I don't blame you for never again wanting to go through what you have to go through!! You're a trooper for sure!!

Thank you everyone for your excitement and prayers for us! Our profile is now online on the agencies webiste. Feel free to take a look if you like, and share with anyone you know that might be able to connect us with our child. https://itsaboutlove.org/ial/profiles/30581005/ourMessage.jsf.

Do you remember my sister that has been so insensitive and is pregnant with her third? Well she said the sweetest thing yesterday. She said, "I loved it! I love how you seem to care about the mother. I read a few other profiles before I read yours and no offense but they were boring. Yours just about brought me to tears." That was really nice of her to say.

Cridge- yes I'm still a bruised up pin cushion. Lucky I don't wear bikinis lol. It's all been a small price to pay at the end of the day though.
