Hey girls! Anyone on progesterone supplementation? When are you stopping?

I am on prometrium, 200mg 2x a day (vaginally) Its so gross. I hate it so much. It makes me nauseous and gives me headaches. Not to mention the yuckiness "down there" from all the leaking (TMI lol) But totally worth it to make my little one stay sticky. I had to be on them for my other kids as well. I always go down to 1 pill a day at 12 weeks, then quit all together at 13 weeks.

hi hun - so sorry for ur losses I had bleeding aswell when i was 4.5 weeks and the lil one is still there and fine - appearently its normal to bleed in the first trimester...keep ur chin up

Hey I know its fairly normal but this was a major bleed we honestly thought we'd lost baby clotting and everything but since its stopped my hcg hasn't been doubling but going up increasingly every other day but drs think i may just have a low count in general as its goin upa reasonable amount and at the same rate each day have a scan booked on monday so we'll see

I just heard baby's heartbeat on my home doppler!! A beautiful 165 BPM @ 9w1d!! I havent tried using it in over a week and wasnt expecting to hear anything. Needless to say, I was surprised to hear the galloping little heartbeat almost right away. Whoo Hoo!!!!

Prayers for you Bumblebee

Congrats sharn!!
Bkay- my friend has adoppler that she said I could borrow.. I'm so excited to use it.. A bout a week and a half and I will try

Hey Ladies,
I got a letter in the mail today about my preference for hospital being denied! I am feeling really disheartened as I am apparently no longer in the catchment zone...I haven't moved house since my last pregnancy so I guess they just changed the rules on who they take and don't take. Anyhow I am pretty upset about it cause now I have to find another hospital (slim pickings) the next nearest one is right near the city, hard to get to from here or down south about 15km in an area which I use to work at and do not particularly want to have a baby there! I am seriously considering just hiring a doula and having this next one at home except I don't want to clean up the mess!

Congratulations sharn bkay, which Doppler do you use?

I thought I was doing so well this morning, got out of bed really slowly and didn't feel too bad! Strangely couldn't face cereal so I had toast. Suddenly half way through eating it I started to heave - wth! This has never happened to me before. Also the thought of eating anything apart from bread makes me want to throw up on the spot! I'm definitely starting to feel more pregnant!

 

[sharnw]

rose- I was the exact same today, I usually have toast, glass of OJ and a cup of tea, but nooo, I had a glass of ginger ale
After my scan I wanted a big take-away of chinese for lunch. I ordered it and only ate 2 mouthfuls and put it aside... Did not want another bite.. Yep im starting to feel pregnant too lol

 

[MummyWant2be]

Congratulations Sharnw..

Bumblebeen - good luck on ur scan

hi ladies,since yesterday i've had this massive discharge coming out it's creamy-ish in colour and slightly smells should i be concerned?or has anyone experienced this?

 

[Weesa]

Hi girls
This is my first bub, I'm 6 weeks tomorrow
The doctor I first went to when I got my BFP calculated my due date from my last period even though I knew when I had ovulated and made me out to be further along then I actually am.
I'm due on the 29th of March

 

[MummyWant2be]

congratulations hun and welcome

 

[rose.]

Sharn, isn't it weird how quickly things change! I had a big Chinese craving last week and had to go to our favourite all you can eat to satisfy it haha.

Mummywant2be, im sure it's nothing to worry about but id just check with your doctor in case it's a mild infection.

Welcome and congratulations weeza

 

[bkay77]

Sharnw - Congrats!! So happy your scan went well!

Rose - I use the Sonoline B. Its the best $56 I ever spent LOL Usually I rent mine from bellybeats, but I heard such great things about this one, I decided to buy one

mummy2be - That happened to me when I was pregnant with my son. It went on for weeks, I just thought it was part of the pregnancy. Turns out I had a yeast infection. I didnt know because I had never had one before, plus it wasnt really itchy. Just alot of discharge. If it doesnt clear up soon, I would ask your OB and see what she thinks. Im sure its nothing to worry about though. Even if it is a mild infection of some sort, its easily fixed

Libbysmom- A hospital can deny people????? Thats crazy!! I didnt know they could do that. I just choose a doctor and whichever hospitals she delivers at I can pick from. If I wanted to deliver at a particular hospital, I would just pick a doctor that services there. Im sorry you didnt get the one you wanted

Welcome to all the new ladies!!

 

[bkay77]

I had the worst migraine all day yesterday, and I was hoping it would be gone this morning.... nope... still there

Im also so dehydrated and thirsty when I wake up. I get up to pee every 30-45 minutes during the night, all night. (no exaggeration whatsoever) so I wake up tired and thirsty. I have thought about drinking water during the night, but then I fear I will pee even more. How one person can make so much pee is beyond me

 

[rose.]

Thanks Bkay, that's not too bad at all I might get one

I had a horrible headache last week, it lasted for 2 or 3 days I've never had one like it before. Hope yours goes soon! Get lots of rest

Hey girls! Anyone on progesterone supplementation? When are you stopping?

I'm on Crinone. My RE wants me to stay on it til 12 weeks.

I had my second scan today and baby is measuring right on track with a HR of 171!! Now I will start seeing my regular OB rather than my RE.

Lol don't you find crinone disgusting?? May be a personal question, but have you had sex on it? I'm scared too.. I feel like it Will be too gross or uncomfortable for oh

Hmm, so you're all going to about 12-13 weeks, huh? My doctor has me stopping at 10 weeks. It makes me nervous. On one hand, I want to stop becuase it's a nuisance and because at 10 weeks I'm flying across the country to my brother-in-law and sister-in-law's wedding, and would prefer to not have to think about that. I'm also in the wedding party and I'm the MC, so one less thing to worry about would be good! Is 10 weeks too early?
