Hi everyone! I am kinda new to posting on this site. Found out we were pregnant in September. I went to my first real OB appointment on 10/24/12. We were supposed to hear the heartbeat because I was almost 10 weeks. However, after the ultrasounds, I proved to be only 6 weeks and 1 day. The doctor could only see the sack, no baby or yolk sack. Has this happened to anyone else? After the blood test results came back the doctor said the HCG levels were fine but my progesterone levels were a little low. She put me on oral 200 mg pills twice a day. After I take them I feel kind of like I have a buzz. Has anyone felt this before? I go back to do another ultrasound on 10/31/12. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Re: Progesterone & Too Early to See Baby?
Hello and congratulations! I don't have any advice about your US and due date - I did IVF. Although you may just be too early to see anything yet. Did they do a transvaginal or abdominal us?
I am on the progesterone 200 mg BID also and they make me dizzy and loopy! My RE said I could space them out and take naps or take both before bed. They will also slow your digestive tract and can lead to constipation! Lots of water and fiber!!
Best wishes for a H&H 9 months!!!!

I've been on a vaginal suppository of progesterone for a while now. I asked at my last appointment about a pill form and my RE said that there were side effects to the pill form that usually doesn't agree with pregnant women, nausea, dizziness, etc...so I decided to stay on the suppositories.
Congrats and good luck!
When in Sept did you get a positive test?
