I have had three healthy pregnancies but my last one ended in a
miscarriage. The lose of the last one upset me a great deal. This is the month that my baby would have been born and to my joy I have found out I am pregnant again. My period was due on Sunday, a home pregancy test confirmed I was pregnant, and by Wednesday I was in with my doctor. She told me to be positive and she put me on a progesterone suppository for the next 4 months. I thought progesterone was only used with women that have had more than one
miscarriage. Is my doctor just being very careful with me becuase my lose the last time caused me so much distress? Or is this a
commonCommon cold treatment after a
miscarriage?
