I'm back...with progesterone this time! (Intro)

aynjc · May 2014

January 2013, I found out I was pregnant with my 3rd child. Although a surprise, it was very exciting. At my 12 weeks apt, they found no heartbeat. Changed my life! I had a D&C, complications and a 2nd D&C. We waited about a year before trying again. I got pregnant right away - due 10/28/14. Unfortunately, had another m/c early on - about 6 weeks. The doctor insisted since I have 2 healthy children that these things just happen. She said to wait one full cycle and try again. I insisted on a progesterone prescription in case that was the issue. I was surprised that she didn't suggest it.

Anyway, here we are again...BFP!!! So excited, but very cautious. The celebration of the BFP with my husband doesn't seem the same though. I'm sure we'll be celebrating when we make it to the 2nd trimester I'm hoping we can be blessed with a baby in 2015 - Due Jan 31st.

Anyway, I'm just using the suppositories before bed. Any advise on the progesterone front - all new to me.

Congrats and welcome! I've also had two losses, so I understand what you mean about the celebration being different. I'm also on progesterone this time, but I am taking it orally (vice suppository), so I won't be of any use on that front.

I was told their were more side effects if you take the oral tablet. Have you noticed anything?

Welcome and congrats! I'm on progesterone suppositories currently. As some one else said, panty liners! They are your best friend!

Congrats! I'd second @Birch113‌ on the U by Kotex recommendation. They have one type called "curves" and they are perfect - not so thin like a traditional pantyliner but also not so thick like a pad that you feel crowded and bunchey.
