Homeopathic

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone!

- You were asking about progesterone & a

homeopathic doctor. I had to take progesterone through

4 of my pregnancies because they found I was low thru

a blood test. The doctor told me it helps to build up

the lining in your uterus. Normally you can only get

this from a doctor prescribing it. I had to take it

for the first 12 to 13 weeks. Usually around the 10th

week I would get a reaction to the progesterone and

start spotting. The spotting would continue until they

took me off at week 12 or 13. There is a new

progesterone that I used in my last two pregnancies

called Crinone. Supposedly this is alot safer. I

wouldn't take it if a physician hasn't prescribed it.

I saw a homeopathic doctor for my 4 and 6th

pregnancies. It was really expensive, but I felt it

would be worth it to have a live baby. I never got

past 10 weeks without the help of the homeopathic

doctor. I saw her every week, sometimes twice a week

if I felt I needed to see her. The cost every week

varied from $30 to $75, depending on if I needed

vitamins or remedies. I was lucky enough to get most

of my vitamins from my mother since she works for a

doctor. This cut the cost down considerably. This is

one of the reasons we have been dragging our feet

about ttc again. We are trying to save up money for

these doctor visits again. Most insurances do not

cover this kind of treatment, but it would be worth

checking into. I strongly recommend that you do not

try to treat yourself with any type of natural/herbal

remedies. Many herbs/vitamins/etc. can be very harmful

to a pregnancy. It's best to check with a

professional.

Whenever I was ttc, the homeopathic doctor recommended

a good pre-natal vitamin. She never told me to take

extra folic acid. My husband was put on E, MAX EPA, B,

Zinc & C to help his " Swimmers " . At first needed

to have surgery because he had no good " swimmers " .

After the surgery he took these vitamins and since

then we haven't had a problem becoming pregnant, only

keeping the pregnancy.

I hope this information helps.
