Pregnancy Info HOME

Hello all! I am so glad that I found this board. I have been going crazy over the last few days and could really use some reassurance. I am 11 weeks and 1 day today. This is my fifth preg, and I have one amazing little four yr old boy. I have just learned that perhaps the reason for the m/c before could have been b/c of low prog. Not something I was ever told with 3 m/c since 2001. So, upon my first visit to the doc (Fri 3/23), having not realized I was preg until I was about 7 weeks, he suggested we check my prog levels and explained why. I was in shock, since I never knew anything about it. Anyway, I get a call on Tues from the doc office saying that my level was 13.7, and that he would like to see it at 20/22. He put me on 100mg once daily (at bedtime cause it seriously makes me tired) and I have been on it since Tues night. I noticed yesterday some light cramping. But, everything else looks good. U/S showed good size, heartbeat 175 bpm (GIRL, Hopefully old wives tale will prove to be true), I still have all symptoms, and I hope that they are just that and not side effects. My question, I guess, is that level really bad and will 100 mg be enough to bring the level up? I am just SOOOO nervous, I really want to have this baby and honestly I want to know what is "wrong" with me so that I never have to go through this again. Any help, encouragement, anything will help. Thanks a bunch and good luck to all.
