i fly back to the uk wednesday and have my first scan on thursday
bit anxious...

Wanted to ask you ladies that are on progesterone, how they found out you had low levels? i'm not sure i've ever been tested, how do they test you and when?

 

[petitpas]

Ah, fili, from what I've heard it's a killer! You brave woman, you!

Morning ladies. Feel like a zombie this morning - the downside to taking these sickness tablets. Had a nap yesterday from 5-7pm then went back to bed about 11 and not long got up. It's broken sleep for loo breaks and crazy dreams but its still sleep.

Dry cereal and water for breakfast, hopefully it stays down this morning. I need a bath and its DH's son's birthday so we're taking him out for food. DH gone to pick him up.

 

[jenny25]

thanks guys i know its so worth it i think once i have my scan on wed it will seem more real im not having loads of pregnancy symptoms just some here and there and im just scared of another loss xx

Sunny, by this point it would have been obvious, I think. If you haven't had any spotting until now I think your progesterone is not an issue.
My doc put me on the supplements as a precautionary matter even though the odd times I was tested everything was fine. I don't think I needed it but if you are worried you can always ask for them.

 

[filipenko32]

Sunny my opinion about progesterone is a bit controversial and based on what Lesley Regan says in her book about miscarriages. I don't really believe it works and that it's a coincidence if the pregnancy works out BUT I'm no doc and lots of ladies have had success with it. Some studies show there might be benefit if you use it straight after ov. Also Lesley regan is actually carrying out a study at the moment to see if progesterone supplements work from ov. One thing for sure is that it does no harm. Have you had your progesterone level measured yet?

 

[filipenko32]

Ah, fili, from what I've heard it's a killer! You brave woman, you!

I'll let you know! 20 mins a day! You should see my stomach now it looks like I'm 6 months pregnant when I breathe out, no lie!! I might take a before and after pic and post it on here when I lose it! You were right about the middle weight gain with the steroids, all my weight has gone on boobs and stomach. I look pregnant and I'm so not! Cruel!!

 

[daviess3]

Sunny I had my test few years back an had low prog levels but was never prescribed it when pg first time, but I had classic signs of low prog in pg, at 8 weeks I started brown spotting I personally think that's why I lost my first!! I basically did my research after my first mc an I asked sorry rather demanded it!! In the uk it's called cyclogest I have 400 mg there a pessarie. Apparently they can't do any harm so u may aswell ask for them I say! Where r u then sunny?? Xx
Puppy hope u start to feel bit better soon hun r u going to b able to eat today?? Xx

 

[filipenko32]

did you have a blood test to test for it?
I think i ov'd late so i'm not as far along as my ticker says, up to maybe a week behind i reckon. its was never mentioned at my rmc appointment, she just said all my tests were negative

did they have to test you at a certain time in your cycle? i will ask about it when i go for my scan, but just curious why it has never been mentioned, i guess because its not proven to work.
I'm in the canaries, on fuerteventura, not looking forward to coming back to the cold place! I came back to the uk in october for the same reason (pregnant) and lost that one so hoping for a different result this time, fingers crossed....
