Sugarbug,
I am very aware of the benefits of progesterone and have been on it for all 3 of my pregnancies. The first one was similar to your story, I was on progesterone cream, we saw the babies heartbeat at 9weeks and the dr. said I didn't need the cream anymore. I went off it and 2 weeks later m/c my first baby.
The second time I was on 100mg suppositories twice a day, but I didn't start them until 6 weeks into the pregnancy. I m/c that baby as well.
I just found out I am pg again. I am terrified. I have been on 50mg suppositories twice a day since 3dpo. We just got back my progesterone level at 15dpo and it is only 11.2.
I will be upping my dose to 100mg twice a day starting today.
Do you think I should take 3 suppositories a day? I will do anything to keep this baby.
I was diagnosed with PCOS in May and started Metformin in June. This was my first full cycle on the Met. I was really hoping that this would make a difference in my progesterone levels. But obviously it didn't. Am I doomed to suffer the same fate?
The problem is that I am seeing a Dr. outside my insurance and she is expensive. She is the one that diagnosed me with PCOS and put me on met. The only problem is that she isn't an OB/BYN and doesn't deliver babies. I have an appointment with an OB tomorrow, but what if he doesn't go along with her treatment plan? I am so nervous. These early stages of pregnancy are so critical. I need my P4 levels tested periodically so I can up the dose if need be. I wish I could just be my own dr. and order blood tests for myself!
