Thankyou, I desperately need to know, I need a plan! Ive learnt I'm a massive control freak from this process! It's too much everything being so far out of my control, I thought the bleeding was better last night and this morning but it a bit worse again, I've had 2 injections now I really hope everything is alright ?. Has the cramping for you stayed away?x

I've been thinking about you. I'm sure you can't wait for that beta tomorrow! Hang in there!

Thanks greatful, how did the pregnancy proceed? Was everything ok? Did the bleeding stop with the extra progesterone ? I'm on 100mg injections daily now, I'm just worried because the bleed has been heavy the last 2 days x

My Re doesn't measure progesterone levels as he says that it wont be accurate as not all is gone in the blood stream and that especially the suppositories they are absorbed on site.

But when i started to spot / bleed and i had positive beta, he increased my progesterone intake and i was given weekly progesterone injections.

Thanks girls, I've had my first injection today, I don't know how it's going to go but about 8 hours after I would say the bleeding seems already lighter. I'm preying for a decent outcome but I'm aware this probably won't be the case, bleeding has been heavy with some small clots so I'm not sure how I can get a positive outcome. I have beta Friday to decide if miscarrying or viable xx

My OB told me after my first miscarriage that there is a large debate in that medical community of abnormally low progesterone is caused by a non viable fetus so artificially providing it can't always alter the outcome.

Some doctors believe one way and some the other.

Certainly many women have stories where progesterone supplementation helps so I think you should try but don't fall in the trap of thinking if we would have just done x then baby would be ok.

Sometimes pregnancies are just not viable, much too often sadly!!

I truly have been there multiple times and realizing that sometimes our body knows best and way more about viability than we do helped me.

I hope things turn around and the shots work!

I know the waiting to see is excruciating!

Sorry you are going through this ....like pp said, I have seen stories where women have had success with low progesterone

This is just awful! I would also say it's worth a try! I'm so sorry they weren't staying on top of this!

I'm so sorry you're going through this! Sending you positive vibes ??. Hopefully everything turns out totally fine!

Thankyou. I have sort of demanded changing onto injections, dr thinks it's too late for that. They have doubled my pessaries though. Idk ?, am I just prolonging the inevitable. I would go somewhere else if I was starting again but I have a frozen embryo at that clinic! To be fair I'm not sure that that are as thorough in the uk by the sounds of reading some of your posts x

Hun, please please please get a second opinion with another doctor if this transfer does not work. Your progesterone should be monitored before you even do a transfer. My doctor wouldn't transfer an embryo if my progesterone levels were low and we had to do mock cycles to make sure my progesterone levels were good and could support a pregnancy. Does your clinic not have it in their protocol to be on PIO shots and test their patient's levels? I'm sorry you're going through this ? Try to remain hopeful! Congrats on your beta results!!

I look at it this way- it can't hurt. If it works- amazing!!!! If not, you know you tried and that will be one less thing weighing on your heart.

I've gone through much the same. My RE says that nothing can be done to prevent loss in the early stages. While mine is not a story of hope, I have seen posts from women who have been in this position and their progesterone increased without changing meds. They were able to go on and have a successful pregnancy.

Remember... Miracles happen each and every day. Don't give up hope.

What was your beta? My doctor allowed me to switch from suppositories to the injections before and said that as long as the pregnancy was progressing it was okay to switch. My doctor wanted my progesterone to be above 10 to maintain a pregnancy. I did switch the type of progesterone at 6wk5d but ended up having a mc for something not related to progesterone at 8wks
