long cycles support thread :) the yelping vaginas club! (closed group)

I had cramps too, even big AF-type cramps, but no spotting.

Thanks for your input everyoneDH and I BD'd this morning and I guess I'll take one in a couple of hours and see how it looks

Katya, cramps and twinges are all normal. Just everything stretching and getting all settled in With my second son I even had some light spotting and I was worried because I had a miscarriage the year before. So I had an early ultrasound around 7 weeks. Everything was fine and he said it was common to have some light spotting in the first trimester. Try not to worry. But I know it's so hard not to!

Ladies I'm in a real pickle! This cycle I was taking progesterone cream to try to lengthen LP. Then got pregnant. The dr said it was safe to take up until 12 weeks which was fine. However, I just checked and I have about a few days worth left. Called the dr and she said she wouldn't prescribe me anything when I run out. I bought my first bottle from amazon uk but not they only ship from the USA which will take a few weeks to reach me and I can't find a reputable company which sells the right one. I was almost in tears on the phone. I know if I suddenly stop I could miscarry so I'm really stressing at the moment. The receptionist advised me to call back tomorrow to speak to a different dr. Don't know what to doing he says no as well! Do I try a walk in centre or a&e or just hope that I can source it in time or that I don't miscarry if I stop the cream!??

I can understand your worry Could you not use a different one? There must be somewhere you can easily get hold of some?

 

[bnporter81]

Katya, I know it's important that you don't suddenly stop using the cream so your progesterone levels don't drop quickly. Is there any store or pharmacy where they carry it? That way you could just walk in and buy some without having to wait for amazon? That's really crappy for a doctor to say she won't prescribe you anything when they know you've been using it and a doctor should certainly know how important progesterone levels are in a pregnancy!I hope the doctor you talk to tomorrow will be more helpful. I know it must be so stressful for you

 

[bnporter81]

What kind were you using from amazon?

 

[mrsc81]

How about asking in boots pharmacy?
I really hope the other doctor has a different opinion, i guess there saying they wont give you any because they havent prescribed it before??

 

[Diddums]

Yeh she said they don't routinely prescribe progesterone. I could try calling my FS but she was horrible to me before about my weight. Will let you know what dr says tomorrow. I have everything crossed.

I was using progest by emerita as its supposed to be one of the best. And I wouldn't know how the strengths of different brands would match up?

 

[mrsc81]

If the other doctor says no, i guess calling the FS may be your next step then?
Fingers crossed it wont come to that though, let us know what they say x

 

[seabean]

Could you slowly taper the amount you use so that worse case if you can't buy any, you at least don't have such a big drop? I was worried about progesterone levels in the beginning but my Dr said that sore boibs/nipples pretty much means you have enough in you. And with all your other symptoms, I wouldn't think you are not low in hormones. But that's just a guess of course. I do see why you would be worried about a drop. Tapering off would be my thought. Hopefully you can get another Rx in time! Meantime, try not to stress.

Theyve got these on ebay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Emerita-...auty_Vitamins_Supplements&hash=item1c28d93e4c

And this place seems to be in stock

[bnporter81]

Katya, I agree that the progest is one of the best, but I think if it came down to it, using a different brand would be better than none at allI know the Happy PMS and Happy Pregnancy brand is supposed to be good throughout pregnancy. But really anything to use until you get your regular in the mail would be good.

 

[Diddums]

I looked at the Vitasunn website but they ship from America as well and the delivery takes 2-3 weeks could do eBay but wouldn't want a dodgy product. I think I may have found some so will try ordering tomorrow depending on what the dr says. Hopefully I won't have to.

Bethany will look I to those two brands thanks very much

On a positive note my fitness trainer at the gym was very good. We went through what exercises I can and can't do, drink lots of water. Break every 15mins, heart rate never above 135bpm, and we will tailor my plan as pregnancy progresses

 

[Diddums]

And my boobs have started aching round the sides and nipples when I touch them. I didn't have sore boobs until 10/11dpo and they have been getting worse so hopefully that is a good sign!

 

[bnporter81]

Yep, sore boobs are always a good sign

 

[Diddums]

I've just found the number for the early pregnancy unit in the hospital that I will be choosing to give birth in. I guess I could call them and ask for advice?

 

[raventtc]

Katya CONGRATS on your BFP!!! i am sooo happy for you, literally almost in tears, you really worked so hard on getting your cycles back!

Well i can't believe i missed all of that excitment, and as for me...spotting seems to happen when i worked out the past few days. don't know if its because i am ovulating or just because of the workout...time will tell. My appointment can't come fast enough.

 

[mrsc81]

I kept spotting on and off when i was at the gym too

 

[Diddums]

Still waiting on a call back from the doctor. Hopefully in the next couple hours I will hear something

My boobs are very sore today!

 

[Diddums]

No phone call from dr.

Will ring tomorrow morning and get answers!
