About 4 yrs ago my doctor told me that I had PCOS and unless I followed a healthy diet and exercise along with taking the medication that I should, I was not going to be able to get pregnant. I play softball about 4 nights a week and nearly every weekend. Currently I am with the man that I know I am going to spend the rest of my life with and we have been talking about marriage, but not gotten to that point yet. We have also talked about the fact that both of us really want to have a child, my first his 2nd. We didn't realy worry about protection because from what the doc had told me, it would nearly be impossible for me to get pregnant. I suddenly earlier this month started having really sore breasts, like way more then usual before I have my period. So much that it was hurting to run if they bounced. Tim kept telling me that I was pregnant, I was like no way you are crazy and everytime I took a pregnancy test in the past, it did nothing but hurt me when it was negative.
It was so hard to see that when your body didn't do the one thing that you were put on earth to do and the thing that your gender does which is have babies. So since on the 14th, I was about 9 days late and haven't had a problem here lately with skipping, I decided to take a pregnancy test. I went to walmart really quickly after work on my way home and picked up a test. Went home went to the bathroom and there was a vague + sign. I showed my boyfriend and he was like that isn't definite, you should have actually gotten a pregnancy test and not Wal-mart brand. LOL. He loves to make light of everything. I adore him!! So Sat we went and played 5 softball games and after we got done that night, I ask him if we could go back to buy another test. We bought them and on Sunday morning I couldn't wait to get out of bed to take one....Low and behold, it was a bright blue + sign. I had chills go through my body. I couldn't believe that it read positive. Of course I call my younger sister who is absolutely thrilled cause she knows I love my neice and nephew to death and really have always wanted kids of my own. Monday morning I took another test cause I still couldn't believe it...LOL, same thing positive. I called my family doctor first thing when I got to work on Monday morning and they got me in immediately, my doc confirmed that I was pregnant. Praise the Wonderful good Lord, I am so tickled. I had an annual scheduled for that Weds with the OBGYN anyway, so they let me talk to the doc since it was my first time there and I told him about the PCOS, he decided to run a progesterone level on me and it was low. It was a 6.7, which I didn't get those results back until Friday which drove me insane the entire time. The doctor perscribed me prometrium, 2x day inserted vaginally, 200mg. I have been taking since Friday night. I have read such positive results on here for people with low progesterone. I am so excited to be given this opportunity, I am going to cherish every minute of it.
I am ok with being so sick in the morning that I can't function as long as my baby is healthy when it arrives. Currently I am 7 wks 2 days and due 4/11/10. Does anyone have low progesterone stories to share? I want to learn all I can and any tips would be wonderful as well.
Thanks
