Pregnancy Info HOME

hi there everybody. I read these post all the time but I have never written in. I am writing in response to Jonelle and Chantels question reguarding taking prometrium before you find out your are even pregnant. Well my story is that I have been TTC for about 1 year faithfully and we have had 3 miscarriages in about 2 years. For the past year we have be on femera, metformin, and prometrium. I quit the femera and metformin after about 6 months on my own, but I continued to take the prometrium 2 (200mg tabs) at bedtime once ovulation was confirmed till your period. We check ovualtion with one of those ovulation predictors every month, did the deed failthfully and started the prometrium after that. Well then my period always started. Well my last period was March 10 and at that time I decided that I was tired of trying and I gave up. So no more checking ovulation, timing the deed, or taking the prometrium after confirmed ovulation. I was tired of all the planning and no happy ending. Well April 14th came along, no period, sore breast, so I took a test and it was POSITIVE, so I took 3 more and they were all positive. So that day I started taking the prometrium because with my last miscarriage (not using the prometrium) my progesterone came back at 6 so I know that I have low progesterone. Then I called my doctor and got in 3 days later. My hcg was great and my progesterone was 46.2 yahhh!! I am now about 7.5 weeks pregnant and nervous everyday about having another miscarriage,but I am extremely happy (I have 2 other children ages 5 and 11 that I had no problems conceiving with) So not starting the prometrium till after confirmed pregnancy might of been what saved the pregnancy this time. I recommed doing what the doctors say, but this what helped me conceive. I am not sure if I started the prometrium to early all those other months, but I know that the prometrium is what is saving my pregnancy now. Well good luck to everybody and I hope that this helps a little.
