This morning when I peed on a stick, two pink lines appeared. I couldn't believe it, and I still am a little shocked. My first reaction was to freak out (naturally) and start crying, thinking about all the bad ways this pregnancy could end. I really don't think I can handle a third miscarriage. Poor confused Jeff asked why I was crying and said "But I thought we wanted to get pregnant?" He told me I need to think positive. He's always the optimist.
So, now I need to start the progesterone suppositories. I'm waiting on a call back from my doctor's office to get this filled and get some more instructions on how to use them. I guess one reason I'm super paranoid about the outcome of this pregnancy is because my doctor just called me late yesterday to let me know my progesterone results from last week. It was 11.5 (at 6dpo). For those of you who aren't familiar with this, they want to see it over a 10 on a nonmedicated cycle, and over 15 on a medicated cycle. So, that number basically confirmed I did ovulate, but the number wasn't as high as they want to see. So now I feel panicked to start the progesterone ASAP (I called them 2 hours ago and no call back yet - grrrr!).
I have so many thoughts running through my head right now, but need some time to gather them. If anyone has used progesterone (vaginal) suppositories, and has any suggestions/advice, I'll gladly take it.
Congrats!!! Praying, praying, praying for a sticky baby!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! It's always when you're expecting a negative that those 2 pink lines appear!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! If you are using endometrin panty liners will become your best friend. I'm yet to find out about the joys on crinone but will in a few weeks.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, congrats!! If at all possible, request the oral Prometrium (which you can insert vaginally). It is significantly less messy than the compounded stuff or Endometrin. They come in 100 and 200 mg caps. I use 200 mg once nightly. Its heaven compared to the other stuff.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!! That is so awesome. I took Prometrium (vaginally) at night, which eliminated a lot of the potential side effects and "trouble" with leaking, etc. It wasn't too bad at all....
ReplyDeletePraying that this is your sticky little one!!
Congratulations!!!
ReplyDeletePanty liners. That is all.
That is awesome news! Looks like you have a ride ahead of you! I wish you the best.
ReplyDeleteAs for the suppositories...kinda gross. Stock up on those panty liners girl!
Congrats on the BFP. Fingers crossed that you get your script *soon*. And definitely stock up on panty liners, even if they give you promethium. It still leaks some.
ReplyDeleteYay congrats!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your BFP! I've been checking your blog for awhile and thought I'd say hello. I also have PCOS. We had three early pregnancy losses before having a viable pregnancy. I honestly think that being on progesterone in early pregnancy was what made my viable pregnancy viable. I used vaginal suppository. My doctor thought that those were more effective. They definitely raised my progesterone. Every time I would try to come off them (at my doctor's discretion), my progesterone would drop a lot and we'd restart them. I ended up being on them until about week 9 or 10 (placenta takes over after that!).
ReplyDeleteProgesterone suppositories are kind of messy. Use them right before you go to bed. That way, it has lots of time to be absorbed and doesn't leak as badly (but everyone is right about the suppository!).
Also, try to limit how much you google things in early pregnancy. I totally, totally freaked myself out. A lot of time stuff you can find is wrong and just plain scary. Try to enjoy being pregnant (which is really, really hard in that nerve-wracking first trimester, especially after all you've been through!!) and know that you are doing all you can do! Congrats!!
Congrats!!!!!!!!! I am so thrilled for you.
