Pregnancy Info HOME

Hey Paula...don't be scared we are all here for you. With my first pregnancy I tested with a hpt on a Sunday and it was positive...got the blood test from the doc on Monday and on tuesday started spotting. The same colors as you...he immediately put me on the prometrium once a day on the morning. A week later I had to get a sono and they found 2 babies...YEAH, crazy! I continued on the prometrium for the next 10 weeks and the spotting also continued. At 8 weeks, they brought me in for another sono and only found the heartbeat of one...they said that was normal though that one could develop before the other. At 11 1/2 weeks I lost one of the little bugs...as sad as it is I was peeing and it fell out in the form of a clot in the bowl! My spotting continued for another week or so and then it stopped and I was fine for the rest of the pregnancy. I feel your pain as I am trying to get pregnant again...this is my fifth month and will get my blood test this coming monday. This time though, my doc has put me on the prometrium starting on day 17 of my cycle and continuing it until I test. This time twice a day...once in the morning and once at night before bed. I too HIGHLY reccomend doing them vaginally...I have heard of much better results...because the progesterone doesn't have to be absorbed by the stomach and then filtered through the liver before ever hitting your utuerus...I know too much, my husband is in the medical field:) I too never know how many days past ovulation I am because every single month my LH surge goes from day 12 to 14 to 12 to 14 and so on...so I am alsways a guesstimate too! If there is anything else that we can help you with please feel free to ask...we all ask crazy things ourselves! Much luck to you and keep us posted:)
