Just wondering if anyone else has been prescribed Progesterone and your experiences if you have been.
Thanks

I had three chemicals so insisted on progresterone when I fell pregnant again. My fertility dr agreed and I took them until I was 12 weeks. I’m now 20 weeks. I don’t know if they made the difference or not but I’m pleased I used them either way.

I am using them too as previous MC. I just started bleeding this evening again. Had spotting about over a week ago went to EPU everything was ok. Bleeding again heavier today , I was intimate with my husband for the first time in 2.5 weeks as was unwell, so not sure if that’s triggered it.. have no idea will go back to EPU tomorrow.
I don’t have cramping but I feel it will start. I am not optimistic when it comes to pregnancy after all I have been through

I’m currently on progesterone due to an ivf pregnancy.

This is my 3rd time using them.

I know they help, but I’m not a fan as they make me so bloated and constipated

How heavy are you bleeding? xx

Cab progesterone cause spotting ? As I have been inserting them vaginally and today was first time I have been intimate with my husband for a few weeks as I wasn’t well

The can make the cervix sensitive, which could have been irritated by the intimacy with dh and lead to spotting. I hope that’s all it is for you x

Thank you for the reassurance, I am going to EPU at 9am this morning. I do no longer feel pregnant, maybe it is my mind playing tricks on me and it is just the progesterone causing extra sensitivity

I’ll keep posted

Just to keep the tread updated for other people maybe in the same situation, I have just had a scan at the EPU, they found a yolk sac and a heart beat. She did say that it was measuring a little smaller than expected but it’s quite difficult to tell at this stage as they are talking millimetres. I have another scheduled scan next Monday. My bleeding also seems to have stopped and found a potential urine infection and prescribed me something for thrush just incase.

Good to hear you’ve got a heartbeat, that must be reassuring xx

Thank you, I was expecting the worst to be honest , so was really happy and relieved.
However now I am worried about it being too small as she said was a bit on the small side - but did say it’s really hard to measure when it’s just millimetres

Just to keep this post updated had my scan this morning the baby has grown to 8mm and dated at 6+5 heart beat good so all is okay. I am eternally grateful

That is great news. The first weeks are the slowest I’m sure but every day is a milestone and gives you a batter of chance of making it! Xx
