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.

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

Newborn stage

Is anyone tired of doing the same thing everyday and being on a 2-3 hour schedule? It’s the same everyday and I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s making me depressed even if I get out once a day. When does it get better? I feel like I’m just waiting for the next stage where it’s not just sitting around all day.
