Progesterone

[lovinglife17]

Good morning,

I'm 41 years old and I'm 5weeks and 5 days today. My last LMP was 10/6/13.. I had to miscarriage back to back one in 2012 and another Jan Yesterday had a doctor's appointment to verify pregnancy and my doctor put me on Progesterone 100mg by mouth once in the morning and once at night. However I have read some women prefer to place the oral medications in their vagina is this safe and is this better to take like this OVER mouth? She's sending me to a high risk because she thinks injection would be better, but I must take the pills until my appointment with them. What are my chances of a 3rd miscarriage? Should I be worried, because I am. My doctor says im not consider high risk became I only had to miscarriage, but we don't know what caused them..Well my other doctor before my new one said my age played a part. But my my period cycle is 24days and I have a short lethal level of ,9. Please advise..Sorry so long im just worried and don't want to lose my baby.. I go to my first prenatal appointment on Dec 30 and I should be around 10 weeks. Thank u again for your HELP.

Hi I am considered high risk as well because my I also had a miscarriage and with this pregnancy I started dilating at 24 weeks right now I am 3cm  I am taking progesterone vaginally every night before bed until I hit 36 weeks my doctor was sure that I was going to deliver my baby before 32 weeks but here I am 34+3 and still pregnant so the progesterone does work my doc also gave me steroids for my daughters lungs to develope faster just incase she come early

I'm 24. My fiance and I have had 2miscarriages a few years apart. I got pregnant a month after I miscarried. I found out at 5weeks, I'm now 22+4 expecting a little girl. I absolutely 100% think the progesterone shots are what helped keep the pregnancy going until she was strong enough to grow on her own:). The shots sucked bc the medicine is so thick and it kind of feels like a ball in ur arm, but you have to use your arm as much as possible and it goes away. I was so nervous and scared that Id experience another mc but thank God my dr had mentioned it and I got put on the shots the very same day of my ultrasound. From week 5-12. I don't know about the pills, but the shots GO FOR IT! :) Ihope this helps, good luck!
