I did an IUI last month with 200mg micronized progesterone twice daily. I did not do a pregnancy test because my period started, so I would think I'm definitely not pregnant. But this month I started spotting 6 days before my period is supposed to start after having not taken any progesterone for about 3 weeks. I'm always very regular and I don't have these prolonged days of spotting, this is very unusual for me. Could it be the residual side effects of the progesterone in my system making me spot?
Hi. I had a mc a few years ago at 6 weeks. I am pregnant again but had spotting week 4/5 so went to the hospital for a scan. the doctor couldnt find the embryo at first cos it was so small and said it was 90% an unviable pregnancy and i would have to have an abortion. she took my hcg levels, which were normal so decided the prognosis was better.
she prescribed 100mg progesterone 3 times a day and i had to go back for another scan in a few days. anyway, the embryo had tripled in size over the few days. i stayed on progesterone 3x a day throughout the first trimester and the baby went from 2 weeks behind dates to the right size at week 13. i did have more spotting in week 9, which i think was from flu and coughing fits pressuring my belly. after bedrest i was ok again. now i am 14 weeks and reducing my progesterone to 1 a day and im gonna come off it soon. the side effetcs are awful- nausea, tiredness, mood swings- but i think the progesterone helped the baby to develop and stopped the spotting in the first trimester. my scan last week said evrything looks normal so fingers crossed.
I just found out I was pregnant about a week and a half ago. I immediatly went to the doctor because I have had 4 miscarraiges in the past. I was told that I was about 4-5 weeks. She took my blood on a Wednesday, and then again on a Friday. She called me today to tell me that my progesterone is very low and wants me on a progesterone suppository. I am willing to do anything to make sure this is a healthy pregnancy. What I am worried about is that some information that I have found says that if you aren't on progesterone before you get pregnant that it doesnt help, and then some information that I find says that it does help. I'm just confused as to what the information actually is. Anything that anyone knows would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!!

i found out i was pregnant at 3 weeks my doctor put me on progesterone suppositories once in the morning and once before bed time to help me keep my baby now i'm 7 weeks and counting but i also go in every week for a check up to see if everything is ok i had 3 m/c's and one ectopic pregnancy and i haven't really had any side effects... . so good luck to you all
I am on progesterone also. i am having period like symtoms-cramping, horrible back pain, stomach pain that comes and goes, and a temp of 99.5. i am going in for a pregnancy blood test sunday. do you think its too early to take a hpt? i have in vitro transfer a week ago today?
I am 8 wks pregnant and on 100 2Xday suppositories for about two weeks. I recently stopped taking them for 2 days b/c I was out. About 48 hours after being off, I started spotting a bright red. I am now back on, but have only taken it once. Does any one know if this is common?? When I took the first one today, I had some cramp like feelings. I am so worried right now. Does anyone have any advice or experience with this?? Good luck to all of you and God Bless!!
