Hello all

in 1st Trimester
HI everyone, I'm back for a little bit of support and knowledge. You can see from my siggy that I battled years of infertility. I did have two successful FETs and have two beautiful daughers (3.5 and 1.5). Well, after all of that, SURPRISE, i'm pregnant! My last two pregnancies did not come without complications so I am quite fearful. Blood clot with DD1 and subchorionic hematoma, valementous cord insertion and placenta accreta with DD 2.. whew, so i'm nervous about having the accreta again.. mine wasn't terrible, just took about an hour to get the placenta out and i bled out quite a bit. but, my pcp just did blood work and my hcg was 17,000 at 6 weeks and my progesterone was 13.2. I am not knowledgeable with natural pregnancies. have any of you had your progesterone tested? My RE always liked mine to be above 20 and although it never was, I used suppositories with both successful pregnancies until  13 weeks.

    Congratulations! I can only imagine what a surprise it was for you to conceive without having to go through IVF. Have you contacted your OB or RE to see if they recommend any added progesterone? They may not since it is a natural pregnancy and your ovaries should be producing it until the placenta takes over. But, if you're feeling like the level is lower than you'd like I would definitely ask. Good luck!

    I had to take progesterone suppositories with both of my pregnancies (conceived naturally). Definitely talk to your if your concerned.

    I had them checked before ttc to see if i ovulated. I had issues with my first pregnancy so i took them with #2 as a precaution but they were tested before i got my positive. Never was rechecked.
    eta i took them until 12 wks with both pregnancies.
