PAL moms: progesterone

Anyone else on progesterone supplements for this pregnancy after having previous losses? I had three miscarriages  last year so I’m using progesterone supplements for this pregnancy.  Wondering if anyone is in the same boat. 

I should be 9 weeks tomorrow which will be the furtherest I’ve made it (besides my with my son.)

    Hi @foolishmortal999, I am on progesterone suppositories. *TW* I had a MMC with my first pregnancy where the baby stopped growing at 8 weeks but we didn’t discover til 12 week ultrasound. *end TW* 

    I then got pregnant with my now 2 year old son and my progesterone level was 7 with him and the doctor thought I was going to miscarry again. She put me on progesterone and it worked. With this pregnancy my progesterone level was 10 so she put me on it again. Fingers crossed this baby sticks. 

    I’m curious when did your doctor tell you to stop taking the progesterone? Mine said 12 weeks but I’m pretty sure last time I did it a week or two longer.

    I'm also on progesterone. My doctor Switched  me as of yesterday from oral to vaginal twice a day.  And doubled the dosage. Talk about uncomfortable having it leak as the pills dissolve!

    I'm hoping it works! TW* but it also makes me super nervous that if I lose it, it will be a MMC because of the progesterone. Fx that baby is still healthy!

    Hi! I’m on progesterone supplements (oral) after a MMC last summer. My doctor said I will stop taking them at 12 weeks. I’ll be glad to be off them as I believe they are contributing to my tummy issues!

    Hi! I’m also PGAL and on progesterone—400mg orally 2x daily. My RE is having me taper to 1x daily at 10 weeks (which will be Wednesday and I’m so excited to hopefully not feel slightly drunk/loopy/have word finding issues at work) and then stop at 12 weeks. I’m nervous about it but that’s my personality in a nutshell :grimace:

    I have to use liners every day it’s so annoying. But hopefully worth it

    Yes! My stomach has been killlling me! I wonder if that’s why. I know it slows down digestion which I  definitely noticed.

    @foolishmortal999 Hey girl, 



    We also have a weekly PGAL thread to talk about these kinds of things related to loss you might want to check out. It keeps the board organized and it's a place where all loss Moms come together to chat.
    People think we become mothers when we give birth but the truth is we become mothers the moment we start calling our babies to us in our thoughts, dreams and prayers. Some paths are short and some are so long that you can easily forget where you were headed.

    How I feel all of the time.
