I am sorry that you are having to go through this. I myself have been through this and am now blessed with 2 miracle babies. I call them my PROGESTERONE BABIES. Without it I wouldn't have them.

I don't like Provera, it is NOT Progesterone. It is NOT safe during PG either. The pill you should ask for is Prometrium.....200mg used vaginally is a great dose. It will help with your luteal phase and to prevent m/c in early PG.

I also use the cream that you can buy at health food stores when PG. The more progesterone the better. Progesterone stops CTX and keeps the uterus soft and also helps the baby to develop better.

Ask for Prometrium it IS progesterone and not man made...the side effects arent as bad either. Google the difference between provera and prometrium to see what I am talking about.

Also to stop the m/c I would continue using the progesterone through 37wks of PG. I know most OB's say that you can wean off it around 12 weeks but in my case, I stopped at 25 wks and labor started at 26 in first PG, and in second PG I stopped at 35 wks and labor started at 36 wks. My aunt used it and she stopped at 29 wks and started labor at 30 wks. Personally, I will use it till 35 wks because in me I know it works. My babies are super healthy on it and even though they were early at 37 wks they looked term. Perfectly healthy and got to go home next day.

So ask for prometrium, you will see a difference trust me. -Terra
