I am 14 weeks and on progesterone pessaries (1 a day) and injections (2 a week) to keep my levels elevated. Is anyone else on prog support and if so, how are their levels going?
Thanks!
I was on progesterone support - first pessaries when we were TTC. Once became pg injections (twice weekly) from about 7 weeks to 11 weeks as my levels dropped from 110 to around 80 and Dr wanted to ensure didn't miscarry. After that went back to pessaries every 2nd day for another few weeks to ensure that didn't have any bleeding.
Not sure if the support elevated my levels but they didn't drop once I was on them so they did something.
Would think that at 14 weeks you'd be ready to start to come off support. What has your Dr said?
Thanks for sharing. I was feeling a bit lonesome there! I had stopped the pessaries when the prog level rose, but then it remained the same (80) for a fortnight so I went back on the pessaries and continued injections. I have another bl test on Wednesday so hopefully it should have risen. Dr said it can take the placenta up to 16 weeks to produce its own prog, so not to worry. I know of some people who have the injections all the way through and then after the birth. Apparently there is an established link between good prog levels after birth and lowered post natal depression!
