Deni - I get you on the pessary deal. I've never been diagnosed with a progesterone problem but was put onto pessaries after 2 m/c's. Don't quite get it myself given that was very unlikely the reason for my m/c's. i think when I was pg with DS, after the first few weeks of good prog levels, i dropped the dose myself (didn't tell Dr) just to make them last longer and cos I wanted to trust my own body a bit.
This time around I am getting my pessaries from a compunding pharmacy in melbourne $66 for 30 so much cheaper than at clinic pharmacy. It was actually my FS and clinic who told me where to get them cheaper. Maybe ask if there is compunding pharmacy that will do it near you.

Farmgirl - how awful re your DH. Like you need that kind of stress atm! Hope he (and you) are doing ok now
