Hey ladies, been a while since I've checked in I keep my journal updated but have a hard time following other posts! Everything is going well! I stopped the progesterone suppositories on Friday and a lot of the spotting I was having has stopped, so I guess those irritated my cervix.
I had my 12 week appt yesterday and they were unable to find the heartbeat so they did a viability scan and all is great, hb of 157! It was moving its arms and legs, I'm so in love! I have my n/t scan tomorrow morning, I kept that because DH will be able to be there We are telling family Saturday and announcing on Sunday! I can't wait! People at work look at me funny, it's getting harder and harder to hide the bump! How are you all doing?

Im going to be coming off the progesterone very soon did it cause you to spot any more than you were? Im so scared to stop taking it, also did you get your levels checked after stopping it? my doctor said I didnt need to but could if I want to.

Had my scan today and all looked good! Baby is measuring 14+1 so they couldnt do a proper nt scan but everything looked good. The sonographer thinks its another little girl!!! I hope so. I got a few cute 3d pictures, will post when i figure out how.

I'm meant to be coming off the progesterone from now as well and I too am scared. I go to hospital on Tuesday so I'm going to wait until then and also speak to the specialist. I have heard of ladies who do have known progesterone problems that are kept on it for longer. It's a precautionary medicine for me but all the same the thought of coming off it is a little scarey.


Did you come straight off it or wean yourself off?



Steph.... glad to hear all is well

My doctor said that I could just stop taking it at the end of 13 weeks but I didn't feel comfortable with that after hearing about everyone spotting so this week I have started taking one every other day my last one will be Sunday. Fx that it all works out!

I'm hoping this works! Here is a picture from the ultrasound we had done a few days ago

Happy Mother's Day to those celebrating today

Grish and angel yes I stopped cold turkey. My dr made me feel better saying technically I could go off at 10 weeks but to continue to 12 weeks. My spotting has stopped so it was from them irritating the cervix!! I'm doing well and all you can do us have faith that all will be okay. Your placenta takes over at 10-12 weeks

 

[ginny83]

I've stopped my progesterone too (at 12 weeks) - no spotting or anything. I took it every second day for the last few days

 

[grich2011]

I just stopped mine on Friday and so far things seem to be going good

 

[larvalstalker]

Since being diagnosed with SCH I have been terrified! I keep worrying about every little twinge and now even freaking out about discharge worrying it is amniotic leak. Even though I really don't actually "leak".
I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow and I hope he'll send me for another ultrasound.
I wish I could stop worrying so much. I keep crying and panicking. I need to calms down...

 

[MandaAnda]

I'm really thinking, especially as they couldn't find a cause, that my two days of spotting was due to the placenta having fully taken over and the hormonal shift that involves. And I was never on progesterone. Just a thought.

I think that no matter what we are going to freak out because of our past the only thing that has helped me calm down is my doppler without it i would be calling the doctor all the time.

 

[sunnysun]

Larva- hope the doc appointments goes well tomorrow, I'm like you terrified of it, but that 's cause I learned the hard way.

I've been spotting a bit too but had a scan on Monday and all looks good, another few days until 12 weeks plus another weeks for nt scan.

One big step coming over!

 

[sunnysun]

11 weeks and 3 days keeping all crossed!

 

[joey300187]

See my doppler is usually my saviour but im freakin out atm as couldnt find hb yest ; s trying again in a bit xx

Hi all we found out yesterday eventhough the ultrasound wad perfect my bloods came back and baby has 1:20 chance of chromosomal abnormality. To say I am devastated is an understatement. I can't stop crying and hardly slept last night. We see the Dr today but think we will have an amino. If you are religious please say a prayer.

 

[Storked]

Prayers steph, how scary

 

[Angeltk42]

Prayers steph!!!

Thanks ladies, saw my dr today and the amnio is booked for next friday the 24th. We will get preliminary results the following Monday and full results after 2 weeks. He also did a bedside scan and said the baby definately looks girly. To be honest though i didnt even want a scan, i dont want to get attached in case something goes wrong. Cant belive this is happening to me

What threw my bloods off so much was a very high free beta hcg of 5.12MoM and a low Pappa-a of 0.63 MoM, they should both be around 1MoM. My hcg was very high with my daughter too, it was 2.88MoM so I'm hoping maybe my body just produces too much hcg. Ugh its going to be a long 10 days until the preliminary results.

I'm so sorry Steph, how scary and a long time to wait. We're here for you, and I'm praying.

Sunny, that's a beautiful scan picture!
