Thats a good sign Ysa, hope it all works out to a BFP!

 

[lilrojo]

that's a very supportive message dear. thanks for understanding and taking the time to think about me.

it has been very hard for me TTC... it took me 14 months to get my first pregnancy but then miscarried it at 8 weeks. i used to have an ultrasound every week and heard the heart beat but then something went wrong (baby wasnt eating) and miscarried it. i cried alllotttt and hated myself for it...

now after 3 months i discovered that i am pregnant again but i feel so much different. when i had my first BFP in August, i had very tender breast and at 5 weeks they were already big!!! but in this pregnancy, i feel absolutely nothing!!

my doctor believes that progesterone has to go up to 60 and more for me to have a viable pregnancy. but i have heard a lot of stories of other ladies with low progesterone and still got a healthy baby.

you did a really good thing when you went on progesterone. i am taking cyclogest but do you know if there is anything stronger than this? some people take injections and other kind of medicine to raise up progesterone but my gynae is very sceptic about some medicine so she tries not to prescribe any.

i will test again my blood next week. maybe progesterone will get higher. please pray for me....i really need prayers. all my friends have babies and are already thinking for their 2nd one!! and i cant even start yet..

i really wish you luck for you delivery. Be blessed and you 'll be in my thoughts and prayers

Your welcome.. and I do get what you mean about feeling different.. with my first mc my chest hurt so bad and i was bleeding the whole time but baby was there with a hb, I knew something wasnt right but they kept reassuring me it happens.. then i miscarried and 6 months later was pregnant again but like before bled the whole time and mc'ed at 5 weeks.. found a new dr and he prescribed me progesterone suppositories and now im about 30 weeks..

Every pregnancy is different and maybe not feeling anything is a good thing for you.. I was never told it needed to be 60.. that seems awfully high.. seeing as to how my dr is a fertility dr and he wasnt worried about my levels at 34.. I was more worried than him and he knew it and has done all he could to make me less worried..

I hope your upcoming scan can give you a sense of peace.. at least for awhile.. its very hard after losses but gets easier when the movements start..

and thank you so much for what you said to me.. It has been a long hard journery getting here.. with many many tears and why me's along the way but i am blessed to be here and cant wait to have this baby in my arms with no worries except baby ones..

Praying for you to get great results on everything, hcg and progesterone.. and your scan shows a perfect little baby and hb.. If you need anything just PM me.. im always here for anyone that needs me on here..

[Isabel209]

Thank you sooo much... You 're being very caring and warm to me and i really need people like you at the moment. This morning i got up really upset, crying and always with the feeling that i am going to lose the baby...

i am taking progesterone but feel that they are not working.. what a bad feeling!!! i really can't cheer up. i cant go to work, i cant socialize, i can't make nice meals... all i want i sleep and sleep...

i will keep you posted dear. i am trying to go out now and do some shopping, maybe i feel better and forget about this baby thing. its so upsetting and depressing. thanks once again.

sending you big hug to you and your little one to be xoxoxox

Vicki, GL on the growth scan today

Isobel, sticky and positive vibes coming your way hun

i started the suppositories last night, it's called Prometrium, has anyone heard of it? I've not been feeling well, my nose is constantly stuffy since Saturday I wanna say & it's aggravating me! Especially cause I've got to spend 15 minutes trying to clear it out before bed to make sure that I can sleep with my mouth close so I can temp.. I'm figuring now that starting these suppositories, any symptoms I have will be down to the progesterone.. But yesterday, I did notice that my bbs were extremely sore & full feeling. I'm going to be testing Friday, at 10DPO, instead of the 28th at 14DPO, if my temps look good.

definitely try and keep your mind occupied ( I know its easier said then done). I also want to add that at 5w6d I had a scan with my DD and it didn't show a heartbeat yet, I thin k 5w4d might be to early...so if you don't see one, don't panic. The week I had to wait in between scans was the longest of my life...but at 6w6d there was a little heartbeat.

You are doing all you can on the progesterone front...and your numbers don't seem to be that far off from what Logans (lilrojo) were and look at her know here at 30 weeks.

I know its hard when others around you are having babies, but you will soon have a LO in your arms, I just know it.

[Isabel209]

Hi dear,

thanks for the message. i have heard of Prometrium suppositories on this site but never tried them. i am on Cyclogest. i take 800mg everyday. i was never adviced to take these suppositories before pregnancy. but i believe that better sustain progesterone before pregnancy so as to help conception. my progesterone never went up than 35 and i have a feeling that i got pregnant with similar result (didnt test my progesterone before i got pregnant). now i am taking Cyclogest to help it go up as it is only 40 right now. doctor wants it to go up more than 60

Good luck for you testing. a lot of baby dust to you XXXX

You need to tell yourself and know for yourself your doing all that you can for this baby.. stay positive even at the toughest times.. I think that was a big change for me.. I had two losses and wondered why and what was happening.. when i got preg this time i was shaking like a leaf calling the drs the nurse could tell i was worried.. but once i did what i knew i could for this baby i relaxed and believed.. (I know it sounds dumb) but thats all you can do is believe all is going to work out.. dont worry unless you have too as it doesnt do you or that sweet baby any good..

Hope you have fun out eating all the fun things you had to give up and i cant wait to have a nice drink.. but its all worth it for our little ones.. Hope all the christmas stuff is getting done.. are you attempting to bake then..

Good luck for you testing. a lot of baby dust to you XXXX

I honestly wouldnt worry so much about what your prog levels are.. they continue to rise until you hit 12 weeks on there own and since your on suppositories your doing what you can.. if thats the problem with not sustaining your pregnancies then your doing all you can.. WHen the dr told me mine and said they were fine but if i wanted to i could go on progesterone i ob. agreed i wasnt chancing this baby.. and im wondering why they think 60 is where your levels need to be, sounds like they are scaring you more than necessary.. Remember stay positive.. keep the faith this baby is meant to be.

 

[Isabel209]

thanks again for the support. i really need this!! i have just seen light brown spotting on my underwear. it feels like my period is coming. i lost hope - low progesterone, no symptoms at all, now brown spots ... all these are signals of a miscarriage i really cant take it anymore. i cant stay calm and relax with all this happening to me. i want this baby sooo much, and its fading away...

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Could be breakthrough bleeding. I had it twice early on, once around when AF was due and then again when I was I think like 9 weeks (and it would've been time for AF to come around again). And the second time, it was actually fairly heavy. But everything was fine.
Lots and lots of women have some spotting during pregnancy and nothing is wrong. But if it worries you, of course call your dr.
I will echo what Gomps said-- I went for a scan at 5+4 and there was a gestational sac but no baby. And I went back in two weeks and everything was fine-- and we saw a baby with a heartbeat.
Personally for that reason, I'm against early scans.

Vicki-- hope everything is good. Good luck at your scan tomorrow... a swim does sound nice... enjoy!
So excited that Christmas is so close!!!

AFM-- had an appt with the lung dr today and he is pleased with how I'm doing, so that's good. I go back in Feb, when I'm 37 weeks. Eek!

 

[Sun_Flower]

I had brown spotting at 5 weeks and bright red bleeding at 7 weeks, and I'm now holding my beautiful baby girl. Early pregnancy is scary but don't lose hope xxx

 

[Isabel209]

thank you girls... i am feeling a bit of light cramping.. just like af is coming.. i am praying so much that this baby sticks... i am trying to contact my doctor but she is away (

 

[QueenVic]

Thanks girls will let u know when I get back from scan, it's not until late afternoon tomorrow, fx'd

Ladies! How much RLT and EPO should I be taking, going to start this weekend, I have 500mg and 1000mg EPO and RLT I got the actual tea instead of the tablets... - can I take the EPO orally or do u have to 'insert' ??

Thank yoooou

Isabel I hope all is ok, keep us updated, thinking of u

 

[Sun_Flower]

I took 1000mg of EPO a day orally, and I was 4cm dilated when I got to the hospital and 10cm dilated before very long at all so maybe it worked?

 

[Isabel209]

i just dont know whats happening to my body... its like a foreigner to me.. cant wait till i speak to my doctor on friday. pleassse pray for me ladies... only praying can help xxx

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Ooh, Vicki's getting serious... talking about the epo and the rlt... It's gone so fast, hasn't it?

It's all so crazy to me... in another month, we'll have two or three new babies!!
You know I cry every single time I see one of your babies... They are so precious and I am so blessed to have gone through it all with you, month by month...
Sorry. I'm all sappy and stuff.
I'll stop now.

I would say if your thinking your miscarrying or bleeding more than light spotting that hasnt gone away to go the the hospital.. although at 5 weeks there isnt a lot that can be done.. they would probably do your hcg levels.. and retest them in a couple days.. to see that they are going up..

Also I too had bleeding early on.. dr checked it out and it was just my cervix.. also a thought it could be from the progesteron suppositories.. they can irritate the cervix when u insert them.. I wouldnt count yourself out yet.. which it seems you are..

And you need to relax.. having no hope isnt good.. you need to stay strong and hopeful for yourself as well as your baby. After my first loss when i got pregnant again i knew for sure i would miscarry i was so afraid of it and had no hope and thats exactly what happened.. this time i knew things would be different.. i was going to be happy while i was pregnant.. and look what a positive attitude can do.

 

[lilrojo]

Haha Jen I cant wait.. 2 months and it will be us.. we will have lots of new babies..

Vicki

Sarah
you-Jen

And hopefully two more BFPs!!!! It's time for Ysa and Tracey!!
