    Thanx, AJC.

    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.
