I believe that on 6/24 I will be 6 weeks pregnant. I found out that I had a m/c on Feb 8th, and had a D&C on Feb. 9th. My cycles have been rather off since then.
This pregnancy has come by complete surprise for us. totally unexpected and unplanned.
there appeared to be no reason for the other m/c. Hcg levels were tested and weren't doubling as they should, but we didn't test progesterone.
I got the postive hpt result on Monday and called my dr. I asked for progesterone level testing and hcg testing.
My progesterone level was 16.5 at approx. 5w2d (according to cd1/lmp). I was told that wasn't great, but it definitely wasn't bad.
I've had no spotting to date (thank goodness), but have felt a good amt of stretching in my abdomen (not cramping, more like when you stretch backwards and you feel your tummy stretching).
Anyways, on the advice of some dear friends who have been thru mulitple m/c's and are currently in their third trimesters or new mommies, I asked about being put on a progesterone supplement.
Found this board while doing research and have been thankful to see all the others worrying about the same thing I am currently worrying about.
So...my question is...
my dr. prescribed Crinone 8% gel. I'm supposed to use twice daily.
Has anyone here used it, and what did they think of it?
Most of what I've read here about progesterone use has mentioned promethium.
any help or stories would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks!
