My first pregnancy I had to go to a specialist and they found out that I had to take femara and a shot along with starting progesterone suppositories after a certain time. The first month we did all this (after 2 years of trying) it worked!
Now I have a 6 month old son and my husband and I decided when he was 6 months we would start having fun with trying and once he got to be 1 year old we would start looking at going back to the doctor (I really don't want a bunch of years between kids and with our past experience we better start early!)
After Corey was born I started doing this thing called Plexus which is a natural drink that is supposed to regulate your hormones. I have never in my life had regular periods and since I started this I have had one EVERY month! I love it! Well this month my husband and I didn't prevent anything and I am officially late for my period and I have been having a LOT of pregnancy symptoms. I took a test yesterday and it was positive! I called my doctor right away in case I needed to be on progesterone.. Instead of looking into anything (this is my regular OB not my specialist) she just had me do a urine pregnancy test in the office. I called today and it was negative for them (my pregnancy test was a super light line but it was there). They had me do a glucola test from having GD first pregnacy so they were already drawing blood and I had asked to have those levels checked too but they didn't. I know someone else who had these same issues and got pregnant while using Plexus but miscarried because their doctor did not put them on progesterone. I am really tempted to just take some of my leftover progesterone from last pregnancy at least until I would start my period if I am not pregnant.. would this hurt at all? I also am tempted to call my specialist in the morning (as well as take more tests lol) and see what he says to do. I am scared that I may have just barely been pregnant and it's not going to stick because I need progesterone but my doctor won't look into it.. any suggestions?! Sorry for writing a book it's just so confusing!
