Pregnancy Info HOME

Hi Paula,
I just started Prometrium tonight- 200 mg per capsules, I am to take two capsules by mouth at bedtime. The reason I was put on them is because my progesterone level dropped from 16 at wee 3-4 down to 10 yesterday. I will ask my doctor tomorrow is suppository dosing is better than by mouth-- does anyone know this?
Anyway, to address your concerns, I had my first sonogram yesterday, I was supposed to be 6 weeks on the dot, but they could only make out what they "thought" might be the fetal pole--too small to really measure--no heartbeat. I was bummed. I was told that pregnancy dating can definitely be off by as much as 10 days, so they are thinking I am only 4 1/2- 5 weeks along based on the sack. I have been spotting for 4 days, very tiny amounts once a day, just when I wipe, it is brown. They called it old implantation blood being released. I don't know. I am anxious, like you. I cried a lot today when I found out I dropped to 10. But what I really wanted to tell you is: YES, pregnancy dating can be off, so do not sweat it until you have your next ultrasound. It is not a perfect science.
