Got my BFP on 7.13.17...started spotting on 7.16.17 (my dad's birthday). Went to the ER and my HCG levels were only 37...no big deal just means I am early. Two days later my HCG only went up to 57...doctor didn't seem worried and I wasn't spotting anymore. He started me on progesterone....2 times a day. Did blood draw that Friday. Started bleeding yesterday at 5w3d....HCG went down to 31. Doctor wants me to start the progesterone as soon as I feel pregnant or get a positive test? Anyone think it would hurt to start it day after my expected ovulation day? I don't temp or do OPK so I just BD when we can an pray we catch the egg.

Re: Going through my 3rd loss.
As far as Progesterone is concerned, it's hard to say without knowing your medical history. IVF participants are usually given progesterone shots to use immediately. Do you have some sort of diagnosed hormone imbalance? In women with normal balances just having sex, progesterone would just delay a miscarriage, not necessarily prevent it.
