Progesterone Supplements

[JennaRie]

If you are on progesterone supplements and have an early miscarriage, would the progesterone prevent you from bleeding until you stopped them? In other words, can I be confident that since I haven't had any spotting or bleeding that I have not miscarried, even though I'm on progesterone supplements?

With my miscarriages they were all early and my hCG would reach 2000 or not quite and then drop and I'd start bleeding. Good luck at your ultrasound! I was so worried. I had my first scheduled when my hCG reached 1500, by the time I had it I was only 5 weeks and my levels were 5500. We only saw a sac that day. I went back a week later and there was a baby and a heartbeat!

Thank you, that's the best I can hope for I guess :) I'm just over 5 weeks now and my first ultrasound is just over a week away, so hopefully we'll get to see the heartbeat that day! I'm trying not to worry, but it's hard because I'm having basically no symptoms other than breast tenderness. Of course, I think it'd be great to have a pregnancy without nausea but it certainly would reassure me that my hcg is still rising if I had it. I just have to remind myself that even if things weren't going well, there's nothing I could do about it anyway so I just need to be patient until my first ultrasound, but that is so much easier said than done!
