Pregnancy Info HOME

Hi everyone,

I have been reading many of the posts here, so I guess some of my questions have been answered, but what I really want to know is if you are pg and on prometrium, does that mean the symptoms you have are from the pg or from the prometrium or what? I want to know if what I am feeling is real or just because of the meds. Here is my history-

I am 40yo and just found out I am pg for the 11th time. I have 3 living children. I had two sons when I was very young and then got divorced and remarried. We got pg immediately and then m/c. I have no problem getting pg, it is just maintaining them that is the problem. After 6 m/c and many, many tests on both dh and I they finally did an endometrial biopsy which showed my lpd. This was a shocker for me as no one else had ever suggested it, probably because of my sons. Anyway-dh and I decided to stop trying and conceived again and I was put on progesterone suppositories, 50 mg 2x a day) and our beautiful daughter was born in 2003. I went on birth control after she was born, because we didn't want to continue going through the cycle of loss we had been on. When she was 1yo went off birth control, but it took me a year to get my cycle back on track and then more than another yr before I conceived. Even with the progesterone I m/c last summer and being almost 40 dh and I decided we were done. Dh scheduled to get a vasectomy and the dr had to reschedule, but for one reason after another he never had the procedure done and we found out that I was expecting again about 1 month ago. Based off of my last period I should be almost 11wks, but my u/s a little over a week ago showed me 3 wks behind where I thought I should be. The good thing though is this time my dr put me on prometrium, 100mg 2x a day, so twice the dose I got with my dd. When I had my u's the sac and the baby showed to be at 6 wks. Although this was promising, since I normally have missed m/c and have to have d&c's, the fact I was 3 weeks behind and they could't see ahb yet makes me nervous. I was measuring 6w1d when by the u/s measurements and the dr said that was early, but alot of women have said they saw hb's at 6wks. If you made it this far thank you so much. Sorry for just unloading like this, but I am really nervous right now. Mel
