I feel as though it's a step in the right direction. My HSG and hysteroscopy is Wednesday but then we don't ha e an appointment to review all the results and the plan u til Feb 17th. Good luck to you I hope you get some answers. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-progesterone-for-recurrent-losses#post-2424556 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 09:36:56 +0000 blackbird 2424556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-progesterone-for-recurrent-losses#post-2424547 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 09:21:10 +0000 Dr. Pepper 2424547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had two miscarriages, then on our third pregnancy we had progesterone tested. It was 24 so we did NOT start supplements. That pregnancy was successful. Then we got pregnant again- progesterone was 11.7- they did not start progesterone- result was another miscarriage. We are pregnant again and progesterone was 12.4 this time and we started progesterone and continued through the end of week 12. We are currently 16 weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-progesterone-for-recurrent-losses#post-2424543 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 09:08:00 +0000 winniebee 2424543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@delight: it's funny because I want answers but don't, you know? Hopefully the thyroid issue is the cause for you - that can be regulated quite easily with medication. When do you go back to the doctor? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-progesterone-for-recurrent-losses#post-2424539 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 08:58:44 +0000 delight 2424539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's exactly what I did. Tested P first cause I was in the middle of a cycle when I first went to the RE. I haven't had a follow up visit yet to discuss my thyroid and FSH levels yet. I have to have a hysteroscopy this week first. I think there are natural supplements for FSH but I'll see what they say. Good luck to you. I hope you don't get AF but if you do then FX that your CD3 bloodwork is great. And good luck with your P4 tomorrow. Mine came back at 9.8 which was borderline. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-progesterone-for-recurrent-losses#post-2424515 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 08:21:15 +0000 winniebee 2424515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@delight: thanks for your input. What can they do about the high FSh? . I haven't had that blood work yet. I'm having progesterone tested tomorrow (day 25 because I ovulate later) and then day 3 assuming I get my period. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-progesterone-for-recurrent-losses#post-2424497 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 07:24:20 +0000 delight 2424497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just started seeing a RE for repeat losses. The first thing he did was give me a script for Prometrium. I take it 3dpo-12dpo (longer obviously if I get a BFP). I have a short LP and spot for a few days. Last month was my first month on P and my cycle was a beautiful 14 day LP with no spotting. I had no side affects from the P. I was really hoping that this would be my answer and I'm still hopeful but also just found out I'm hypothyroid and high FSH. Have you had CD3 blood work yet? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-progesterone-for-recurrent-losses#post-2419542 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 22:33:54 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 2419542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: I did. I had low progesterone which was possibly linked to my losses.</p> <p>I started taking progesterone suppositories 1DPO, I believe, and continued taking them through 14w of pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-progesterone-for-recurrent-losses#post-2419423 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 21:01:10 +0000 FaithFertility 2419423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: I did for G based on having them left from.IUIs and 2 CPs<br /> My RE wasn't pushing it but said if it made me comfortable since my levels dipped a little from 1st beta to 2nd!</p> <p>@travellingbee: I called my MW to ask these questions if we are TTC should I go back on baby asprin and go in for early blood work for levels if I get a BFP </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-progesterone-for-recurrent-losses#post-2419349 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 20:14:35 +0000 travellingbee 2419349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I had two early losses and when we TTC again the RE put me on progesterone and baby aspirin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-progesterone-for-recurrent-losses#post-2419344 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 20:11:40 +0000 winniebee 2419344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Autumnmama79: my doctor was like there's no real proof either way that it helps, but it hasn't been shown to harm either so told me to consider it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-progesterone-for-recurrent-losses#post-2419271 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 19:28:17 +0000 MaryM 2419271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was low with my first pregnancy so I started it then. Then I took it when ttc because it was low again. I'm back on it now because it was super low again post loss. </p> <p>If it might be an issue for you, I'd encourage you to look into napro. They've done a lot of studies on the role of progesterone in cycles and pregnancy, and the different forms (injections vs suppositories vs oral) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-progesterone-for-recurrent-losses#post-2419252 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 19:16:31 +0000 Autumnmama79 2419252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. Drs here don't ascribe to the progesterone theories. It was pretty frustrating following my 2 loses but I ultimately I trusted them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-progesterone-for-recurrent-losses#post-2419186 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 18:30:55 +0000 Zbug 2419186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do. My lp was short after my mmc, and my progesterone was low at 7dpo so I started using progesterone after ovulation as a precaution. I know the evidence isn't clear whether progerone can help most people, but I figure it can't hurt. I'm 8 weeks now (although I did have a chemical in nov while on progesterone) and wil wean off it in a few weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-progesterone-for-recurrent-losses#post-2419176 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 18:12:09 +0000 winniebee 2419176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you take progesterone supplements after having recurrent or multiple losses? If so, after how many losses and how early? I've had 4 losses, all early, but two consecutive healthy kids in between so I feel like I'm in a gray area in terms of what to do when pregnant again. Im having progesterone tested this cycle anyways, but my OB hasn't said what we should do if the progesterone level is normal. </p>
