Hi everyone!

I am on progesterone orally 200 mg at bedtime for the first trimester (although I had to ask for it since I was on progesterone during the 2ww and my OB didn't see a purpose in continuing it through the 1st trimester; so anyway, no blood tests are being done).

Of course, I have paranoia about miscarriage and wonder if progesterone masks the usual symptoms of miscarriage (cramping, spotting, and bleeding) thus giving me false hope for the next month. I am currently 5 weeks 6 days and my first ultrasound is scheduled for 3 weeks from now.

During the beginning of the 5th week, I was having dull af-like pelvic aches which I learned was normal, but now I intermittently have aches on either my right or my left side. I can't really describe it, they aren't dull AF-like aches, but are surely uncomfortable. Last night I was bothered by one on my left side. It wasn't sharp, it was just really uncomfortable. I've been worried that it's ectopic, but that I wouldn't know if I were miscarrying because the progesterone would prevent me from spotting/bleeding.

Does anyone have info on this?

Thanks!
