Oh Kristin! I am so sorry for your loss!! I am in shock too since you were taking the progesterone. I really am sorry. My heart is breaking for you.

Are you guys gonna try again? I know it's easier said than done.

I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers

Monkeys just ate my post.

I am very sorry for your loss.I am in shock & so sad for you.I too have had 4 m/c in a row after having 5 healthy babies.It is so hard when there are no answers.You can m/c naturally but if you have a d&c at least they can check the baby to see if there are any answers.
I am again so very sorry Kristen.I always have hope.

Well girls. I went for my u/s at 7 1/2 wks on April 2. The baby measured 6 wks 1 day, no heartbeat. the doc said he was pretty sure Id miscarry but we will wait another week to see if there had been growth. That week was excruciating. The waiting, the hoping, the thinking that maybe I Od much later? April 9 confirmed my fears...no growth....so this is m/c #4 in 8 months. I just dont understand. how much more can I take? I had progesterone on board, thinking that was the problem. Back in Dec I had a +ANA result, but the doc cuoldnt really explain it and didnt think it bore much significance since I tested neg for Lupus. But seriously.......who has 4 m/cs in a row especially after having 4 healthy babes no problem? I am desperate for an answer!! He says the next plan of action is Heparin. I am beginning to lose hope, like I am not supposed to have another baby. Meanwhile. I am just spending my days processing it all and waiting for ny body to recognize the loss. I dont want another D&C!! anyone out there have a similiar experience?!

BOYZRGR8:
My progesterone went up to 18 from 14. So I am relieved that it didnt drop again. Meanwhile today the pg symptoms hit me so that is good too!

Yay! What great news to hear! That is wonderful!

Yeah, the pregnancy symptoms are hitting me too

Thank you everyone. You really have been so encouraging to me during this nerve-wracking time. I go back Monday for another blood draw to see about the progesterone level. Congrats pnkpanther on your new little girl!! That is awesome that the prog worked for you. Today is my and my 6 yr old's birthdays so I am determined to just enjoy our day and not worry or be anxious! I will keep you posted on my levels next week.

Congratulations! I totally understand your fear. I hope the progeterone does the trick. It worked for me after my 3 m/c's and I went on to have a healthy pregnancy and perfect baby. Good luck and thinking of you.

If you are getting shots & it looks like they are keeping a close eye on you I would think that is enough.I am not sure if progesterone is better absorbe via the cervix or not?Maybe ask what your OB thinks?

Since Nov I have had so much blood drawn. She did not give me suppositories, but she did watch my progesterone for a few blood draws. Once she found that even though my progesterone was on the low side of normal, but staying at the same point she really just watched the hcg. My numbers were more than doubling every 2 days, so she wasn't worried... I was though. We did the first u/s at 6 weeks and saw a heartbeat, but it was still kinda early. We had the 2nd u/s at 8 weeks and then the last u/s was at 13 weeks. Baby has pretty much measured right around or on my due date the whole time, so he's developing normally. I am just hoping he keeps staying strong and will join us in September. It's hard to stay positive some days, but I don't want to be too negative either. I finally started telling family and friends. Good Luck to you!!! It is soooooo stressful, but in the end it will be worth it.

Thank you Saxaphonic. That is encouraging. up to this point were you doing shots or the suppositories? I remember reading your posts when you lost your little boy and then this last one in Nov. it is such a sad and frustrating road I have lost 3 in a row and I really believe it is due to deficiency in progesterone. So my level dropping suddenly to 14 from 24 in 6 days has me a little worried but my hcg continues to go up, at least the last 3 blood draws. i have never been so poked and pricked in my whole life. I go in about 2 wks for my first u/s. Should I try to get it sooner?

Good luck. I lost 2 in a row and am now pregnant again and so far everything is going well at 13 weeks. My progesterone was at 13 for a while with this pregnancy, but my hcg still went up to over 7500. She stopped doing blood draws after that and we've been watching baby via u/s. So far he's right on schedule and measuring pretty much on my due date.

I am currently taking 250mg IM injections twice a week. I have had 3 shots in 1 wk so far. I have some natural cream.....should I do that as well?

Go asap & make them give you progesterone suppositries until you are 12 weeks.It really can help.Good Luck.
