Prog supps? (ticker/pic inside)

Hi ladies! I was hoping you all could calm my nerves a bit. With DD, she was *kind of* a surprise BFP, so I didn't use any prog. This time around, I am using them. I got pg in August and used them and had a c/p, then felt superstitious about using them for cycle 2 and had a BFN. I'll be using them again this cycle, but want to confirm that the supps have no impact on BFP/BFN. If the egg doesn't fertilize, progesterone won't change that - it can only help support an egg that's already been fertilized. Right?

I know this is so backwards, but I didn't use them one cycle and had my daughter, then used them and lost the baby, so it's just one of those mental things.

Didn't your doctor advise you on how/when to use them?

Prog will have no impact.  It will only help your embryo stay put.

Ditto jennype.  I've used Prog supps in all my cycles, but their purpose was to keept he embryo in place once implantation happened.  It may be a good idea to ask one of the nurses/NPs at your RE's office for some more information about Prog suppositories.

Thanks I know rationally how they work, just can't seem to get the message to the irrational side of my brain.
