WTH - can't blame you for asking the 'naughty' questions. I don't know anything about asprin so i can't help there. But with progesterone I don't think there is any problem with a high progesterone level so I have to personally admit that I probably would do the progesterone am & pm. Some of the other girls may know alot more about that though as I've never had to use progesterone pesaries. But from what I have read there is no problem with high preogesterone levels.
Your last post sounds very determined so i don't think bub will be game to go anywhere - except maybe implant just a little tighter
The '12ww' is agonising isn't it?!?! Are you having any more follow up BT's?
Also - someone (I'm sorry I can't remember who) was talking about reflexology. I had reflexology the month I conceived this bub. I found it sooooo relaxing (way more relaxing than even a massage).
AJC - it is so good to have you understanding gals to talk/whinge/cry to.
I have a BT tomorrow. Verrrrrrrry nervous. My levels have so far been:
Day 28: 110 HCG and 170 P4 (prog)
Day 30: 269 HCG (more than doubled, fine with that)
Day 36: 1987 HCG (almost doubled every second day) but 89.7 P4.
I think tomorrow's HCG result will really reflect what is going on.
Did you get a second test for your P4? If so, was it similar?
I now officially hate the 12WW. And even if we make it that far, we then have to contemplate a CVS. I can't imagine we will feel comfortable about this PG in the near future. If it does not work out I am very concerned I will have to have my 3rd D&C in less than 12 months. That can't be good for my lining...
I have asked poor DH to call my FS this afternoon to try and get more out of him. My FS was not concerned when I spoke to him yesterday. But he did not witness the exact same stuff happening to me in my prior PG so he is coming across as optimistic. I want realistic.
WTH - I did have two prog tests First one was 95, second was 79. So a little lower but it's normal for it to fluctuate - ob was not concerned at all and I didn't really think anything of it.
Yes - realistic is good but my ob always says 'please be positive' and that is firmly imbedded in my brain so I am now passing that on to you. That it's going to be third time lucky for you. Your hcg levels seem to be indicating things are progressing nicely so that is good.
We're all here for you. Good luck for your BT tomorrow.
Your words have been very grounding for me this afternoon. DH has spoken to the FS. He was adamant I should not take the Cartia. He says everything hinges on tomorrow's tests. So I will not take an extra progesterone in the morning. He says he will up it if the results are not good. So, I am happy with that.
I read a study conducted in 2004 and it says stress can lower progesterone levels because our brain produces extra cortisol to deal with stress. The cortisol competes with progesterone. Therefore, stress can inadvertently lead to MC.
So I think I will take a nice long relaxing shower tonight and try a little harder at chilling out.
WTH - two things have helped me through this pg so far (other than my DH of course) movies & food! Hired 'Rendition' last night & really enjoyed that. And well food, we all have our 'comfort' foods so I'm sure you won't have too much trouble thinking of something. Hope you have a relaxing night.
That it's going to be third time lucky for you. Your hcg levels seem to be indicating things are progressing nicely so that is good.
