Thanks for your reply and your support- I thought LPD would result in early losses too. However, I thought, maybe progesteron is high enough for implantation, but not high enough to help let the placenta take over.
I didn't know this.Typically with hormonal problems the embryonic pregnancy is lost heralded by bleeding. In miscarriage the progesterone begins to decrease prior to a decrease in HCG.
I do feel like I'm clutching at straws a bit, but I figure, if it can't hurt, then maybe try it anyway?
I'm really pleased I have a GP who's so supportive - having had 2 m/c herself she can relate and her philosophy is not to wait for recurrent m/c's before testing (her words: it would be sadistic to do that). However, she wants me to talk to a Gyn before doing anymore hormone testing. I also know using progesterone won't guarantee anything - my GP had another client who after 2 m/c, used progesterone - baby stuck but was born with a trisomy and died at 5 months (she did go on to have a healthy baby later).
I realise every pregnancy is a roll of the dice. I just hope doing something may prevent this ever happening to us again. Also, "doing something" makes me feel like I have some kind of control over things.... which this m/c has taught me is so not the case
