Pregnancy Info HOME

Nives-I have been following your posts and want to tell you how so very sorry I am for the pain you have experienced with your last pregnancies. I can't imagine losing a baby. I have had two misscarriages but they both occurred during the later part of first trimester. It was still very painful but I can't imagine having my baby alive for 8 days and then losing it. My thoughts and prayers are with you. As far as your question on progesterone, my doctor said the ranges can be from 9 to 47 for the first trimester and because this range is so grand, she only worries when it is in the 9 level if you are having other symptoms like spotting or cramping. About your discharge when you wipe-is this happening when you bare down for a bowel movement or with urination only or both. I know that's quite a personal question but the reason I say this is that if the placenta that is starting to form is over the opening of the Cervix, which at this early stage is very common, you can bleed when you bare down, cough, squat or have intercourse. This happened to me on my first pregnancy and the placenta eventually moved out of the way as the uterus gets bigger. Also, I have quite a bit of discharge taking the progesterone supplement but it shouldn't be yellow. You may have a yeast infection(on progesterone you are more suseptible to these) and this can also cause spotting(happened to me too,) so maybe you should check with your doctor on the color. Consitency wise though, progesterone does cause more of it-ain't it lovely. My worry for me always stems from the fact that my discharge is very watery looking, sometimes that is all it looks like and I am worried I am leaking amniotic fluid. I have been checked twice for this but luckily so far, everything looks good. Anyways, hope this helps and good luck to you!!
