RMC, pregnancy and progesterone. Postive stories please!

I felt exactly the same when I took those pessaries. I promise you that if you stick at it just be as if it was a period pain be positive because I took it out the payment. The batteries were doing something because then our pregnancy stuck
I am now 5 1/2 months pregnant

Sorry dictation sometimes miss reads that I can tell you that those things made a massive massive difference for us

I had 2 early miscarriages and when I fell pregnant for the 3rd time went on progesterone pessaries from 6 - 16 weeks. I started to get used to it after a while and it wasn’t so bad. I’m now 37+5 weeks pregnant and had a very normal and healthy pregnancy so far.

The anxiety is really hard the first few months, but hang in there and try and keep positive! 💞

I had 3 losses (2x miscarriages and 1x ectopic), then on our fourth pregnancy they started me on progesterone from 8weeks to 23/24weeks, I did have heavy bleeding from 17-19 weeks which really scared us thinking I was miscarrying again (due to the bleeding I was able to stay on the progesterone for longer than we were supposed to). I went into labour early at 34+3, but she is healthy and thriving!

I had anxiety throughout the whole pregnancy, it doesn’t get any easier but I really feel like the progesterone helped!! You will get there mama, keeping everything crossed for you💕 xx

Hey Hollie, I have the same story. 3 losses all before 8 weeks. Now pregnant for the 4th time and on progesterone (same dose as you). Today I am 12 weeks, 3 scans so far and baby is doing perfect!!

I had soooo many side effects at first which I was unsure if it was progesterone or early pregnancy (or both). But I feel like it just got easier and easier (maybe my body getting used to it). At first I wondered if I could stick it out, but here I am still on it and not even noticing so much. Right now I am so grateful for them putting me on progesterone as I never even thought I would make it to 12 weeks in my wildest dreams, don’t like to speak to soon but so far so good for me!

The anxiety is a lot, especially in that period where your “used to” miscarrying. But it can go the other way and hopefully you will get to see that this time ❤️

Wishing you the best of luck xxx

I had 3 losses, then my next pregnancy was put on the pessaries at 7 weeks - I now have a healthy 9 month old! And yes pregnancy was perfect but the anxiety completly ruined it 😥 every niggle, every pain i panicked - I ended up being induced 3 weeks early due to my anxiety! Try stay positive I know it's hard, but if your ever worried about anything speak to your maternity assessment or GP xxx

Wow some really positive and encouraging stories. Thank you ladies, I genuinely appreciate you taking the time to reply ❤️

thank you so much. Agree with everything you said. Do you know how much longer you’re on it? I’ve read 12-16 weeks is the norm as the placenta takes over xx

so I was told originally I would come off it at 12 weeks (for that reason) but I started running out of it at about 10 weeks and they gave me enough for another 6 weeks. I asked if I could continue for peace of mind and they said you probably won’t need to but no harm staying on it for now if that’s what you want to do. But I am thinking after today I may just go to one pessary a day for a few weeks and then eventually every other day and just sort of ween off it. I had some cramping this week in one side and went the hospital, everything was ok with the baby but the lady basically said your progesterone levels will be higher now your placenta has taken over and then your keeping it even higher with the pessaries and so your digestive system is massively slowing down (hence the pain) xxx

wow I am so so sorry for all your losses! Thanks for sharing. I constantly feel awful but I know the outcome is worth it. Lots of luck with healthy baby girl x
