Progesterone

Has anyone been prescribed progesterone for recurrent miscarriage? If so when did you start taking it? I got heparin last time I was pregnant (my 4th loss) and when I went back for review I asked for progesterone too off my own research and got given cyclogest for when I next get pregnant.. They said to wait for a BFP before taking but a lot of stuff online indicates it would be useful to take it a few days after ovulation?

Nope you take it from day of bfp. No point taking it before.

It only helps if you take it from your first positive test. I had 3 miscarriages in a row, got put on progesterone and am currently almost 40 weeks

Took mine from 4 weeks pregnant (after positive test) until 16 weeks pregnant x

I take progesterone for both IVF and for recurrent miscarriages, I’ve always started taking it 5 days before our embryo is transferred which is usually round day 14-16 of your cycle which would be when you’d ovulate xx

I took it when I did a positive pregnancy test at the hospital at 4 weeks, I took mine until 16 and have a baby boy now! Good luck x

After 3 miscarriages in a row they put me on progesterone pills from my positive test at 3 weeks until I was 12 weeks, I'm 15 weeks now and my son is still growing and healthy 💙

From positive doesn't work for me, i will take it from 3dpo with consultants permission next time. I took progesterone from pisitive test clexane aspirin for my third loss, never helped. I think it just depends on your situation really. Sorry for your losses

The fertility doctor told me it should be taken before a positive at half dose and full dose after. The point is to maintain the lining for implantation. You need to take if from at least cd24, but my doctor said cd18 onwards and stop on a negative 2 days late. The progesterone delays your cycle.
