you need to find out why you miscarried before.

Low progesterone? then you need to start progesterone ASAP. My OB

told me that if that was my prob, he would start me on progesterone

supplementation as soon as I got the positive preg test. Another OB

told me I needed to be started on progeterone SOONER than the

positive preg test, so who knows?

Ask some questions and ask if you should be on progesterone if that

may have been the cause of your prev mc/s

Well, nothing could have stopped the last one from happening, it was

a blighted ovum. As for the other, my first one, they said that it

was probably because of my weight. No one did any tests on me then,

I wasn't able to take the results of the miscarriage to the dr,

because I was living in Seattle, and miscarried in Washington D.C.

Can they test for low progestorin now?? or is it too late, and if

that my problem, am I in really big trouble in keeping this baby?

Kris,

I can't remember, but do you also have PCOS? If so, I

highly recommend using Natural Progesterone Cream until you

are 12 weeks along. The doctor could give you suppositories

as well, but the cream is less messy and does the same

thing. A lot of doctors don't give the progesterone because

they don't think it makes a difference, but women with PCOS

have extremely low levels of progesterone. Progesterone is

what keeps you pg. Anyway, if you do have it, I hope that

helps. And even if you don't have PCOS, that could still be

the reason you miscarry. I recommend you ask your doctor to

test your progesterone levels!! By the way,

CONGRATULATIONS!!

Good luck Kris. And BTW, never read your pregnancy test a while after it's in

the trash. It will usually turn positive after a while. Been there, done that!

but if you've gotten two positives, go to the doctor so you yourself can be

POSITIVE!! Wondering is the worst part

I never got tested for PCOS because I had normal periods. I had

other symptoms though. Anyhow, do you get the cream from the Dr or

from the store? Or from online? lol. I am willing to do whatever

it takes to have this baby and not miscarry. I've even, gasp, cut my

husband off. He understands though, and says that he's already done

his part, he can wait until I hit the three month mark. Now to wait

to see the Dr. I called today, but they are all in meetings, no one

will even set me up with an appt, so... I have to call back between

4-5 today or wait until Monday. I have so much fear right now, but

I'm trying not to let it get to me. I know its important to be

relaxed, and calm.

CONGRATULATIONS. As for getting to the doctor ASAP -- umm probably not. It

might make you feel better but not necessarily. If something is going to

happen it may just happen and seeing a doctor or not seeing a doctor may not

stop it. Good grief that sounds depressing. But I dont mean it to be. ENJOY

BEING PREGNANT HON! Enjoy every second, call your OB and call your surgeon.

Make sure you take your vitamins and eat healthy.

Sorry to jump in here.. But I wanted to say that Sheila is right!!!

I have had 2 miscarriages before.. both prior to my WLS.. but the

doc still put me on progesterone as soon as I found out I was

pregnant.. my numbers have been great. I am 11 weeks now.. and I

never made it past 5 weeks in the previous pregnacies. Definately

ask your doctor about it!!!!

LOL!! I have done the same thing to my DH.. though I have had to

give in a couple times.. just too scared to. Even though my doc did

say that it was fine.. I just don't want to take any chances at all!

BTW.. I do have PCOS.. so that's why they put me on the

progesterone. Mine is an RX and it's called Crinone. I actually like

it. It's not a suppository, but a cream.. not bad!

Just relax and call the doc 1st thing Monday morning! I am sure you

are going to be just fine! Oh- and my OB prescribed some chewable

pre-natal vitamins! They are great. You should see my nails! They

have never looked better! LOL!
