Pregnancy Info HOME

To Debbie & Aimee, & anyone else this may help. I have had 3 m/c's all by 6-7 wks of pregnancy, my last this past Feb. After 2 mos of exhaustive testing, everything came back normal so we were given the ok to try again the end of June of this year. On day 19 of my cycle, after ttc, I started 400mg vag. progesterone supp. and was told to get a beta hcg on day 30. If pregnant, continue on, if not, d/c and wait until day 19 of next cycle (28 day menstrual cycle). Fortunately, on the first month of trying again, I had a positive test on July 19, and I'm 41! I continued on the progesterone supp and was told by my doctor I could stop them at the end of week 10, which confused me because I heard the placenta doesn't take over until week 12. Anyways, he let me stay on them for peace of mind. I'm 12w3d today, and I plan to continue through this Saturday. So far so good, however, I am still afraid to come off them as I'm sure most women are when they get to the point where their docs tell them they can d/c them. Hope this helps... oh, and I had spotting at exactly 4wks, brown, and it lasting only the one day so it's ok if you spot, as long as your u/s is ok. Hope this helps everyone. Never thought we'd ever get this far, never have before and I'm praying and enjoying every day of this wonderful miracle. Ultrasound shows a strong heartbeat of 150 bpm and the baby wiggles all over! I hope this brings hope because before taking these, I didn't think I'd ever have a chance at having a child. Best wishes to all!
