I find that I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the baby stuff that is out there. I have miscarried four times, so I'm waiting a bit to buy stuff. My family and friends, although they mean well, are pressuring me into figuring out everything that I want right now. I am 16 weeks pregnant and everything seems to be going well, and since I've had so much trouble, I am wanting to wait to find out the gender until it is born. It makes it a little difficult to pick out stuff because I am really not a fan of the gender neutral stuff. What are some good websites with somewhat cheap stuff on it? I've checked walmart, target, and babies r us, but what are some other suggestions.

Thanks in advance for your help ladies. I'm a bit overwhelmed and need some advice.

I went to the dr. at 7 weeks to get my normal blood work because of my history of miscarriages. The numbers didn't double like they were supposed to so I was scheduled for an ultrasound and I indeed saw the baby which measured like it was supposed to and had a heartbeat. My progesterone is 4 and I was put on 200 mg of Progesterone, but this was 2 weeks after I had the initial blood tests and 1 week after I had the ultrasound and saw the baby with the heartbeat...my question is do you think this pregnancy will be carried to term? Has anyone had this low of progesterone and was put on progesterone this late in their pregnancy and had a healthy pregnancy? I didn't get on the prometrium until I was 9 weeks pregnant and I'm so afraid they waited to long to put me on it. Thanks in advance ladies.

I had my third miscarriage in Oct. and my periods are extremely heavy for about a day and a half and then they are nearly nonexistent for the next 2-4 days. Could it be the miscarriage that caused that? I had one miscarriage in August 2008, one in July 2009 and another in Oct. 2009.

Also, I would like updates from my contacts. Please let me know how things are going with you, especially Becky, Kourtney, and Kayla....

Thanks

I was prescribed 200 mg of prometrium when I was pregnant back in Sept/Oct. I ended up miscarrying one day after I started taking it and was told to quit taking it because it wouldn't do any good. Now that it has been one cycle since my miscarriage, they wanted me to take 100 mg from cycle day 14 for 14 days or until my period comes. I still have 28 200 mg prometrium and I was told to take that then I could start on the 100 mg when I used it all up. I am really concerned about taking too much prometrium, but was told that you can't take too much. I just don't feel right about it and I guess I should just trust the dr., but I just don't feel right about it. I am actually supposed to take it starting today, but I just don't know what to do. What do you think and what are your experiences with prometrium.

For those of you who don't know, I did indeed miscarry for the third time. It was super early this time. I was 4 weeks and 5 days when I lost it this time. I am pretty sure that low progesterone was the problem this time and I will be taking 100mg of Prometrium for like 10 days in the middle of my cycle from now on. I just wanted to let everyone know that I am doing good and that I did miscarry. I am thinking about waiting for like 6 months because I can't take another one right now. What do you think is a good rule of thumb to wait for trying again? I am going to be bowing out of yahoo answers for a while too. I just need to get away. Is this the right thing to do?

I found out last Friday that I was pregnant. I went in that day and got my blood drawn and it was 11. I got it drawn again Monday and it was 15. I also found out that my progesterone was 8.1 and that I needed to be put on prometrium. Is it possible that they caught the low progesterone early enough to help me keep this pregnancy? I am 4 weeks 5 days pregnant and it is super early, but I got what I thought was some light bleeding, but I think it the prometrium as it is a vaginal suppository. Please enlighten me. Has anyone ever done this before and had a healthy pregnancy? I have had 2 previous miscarriages and was tested for low progesterone and it was good last time, they must not have caught it early enough last time. What do you think?? Oh and I am going to get my blood drawn again today and compare it with Monday's numbers, and will ask the doctor then, but I was hoping there was someone out there that had been there and could tell me their story.

Well, I got the test results and found out I am going to probably lose this one too. I guess we are meant to have kids. My level Friday was 11 and yesterday was 15. They said my progestrone was 8.1 and needed to be 10. I didn't get any good news today. I just don't know what to do. I am so tired of miscarrying. I get my hopes up and then bam, I get hit with bad news yet again. Good luck to all who is ttc and who got their bfps.

I applied for Medicaid today and when I went in to ask a couple of questions about the application they told me something I thought was strange. I got all my questions answered and gave them everything they needed to make copies of and stuff and then she told me that they wouldn't call for a phone interview. She also said that they would take 5 days to process it and then I would get something in the mail. Does that mean I already accomplished what they were going to ask in the interview or what? I am just a little confused. I know I qualify for it, but I didn't know what she meant by that. Thanks for your help ladies.

I am 4 weeks and 3 days pregnant today. I found out Friday and was on cloud nine! I had to go in for blood work due to my history and then I was supposed to go back in today. Well, I called today to make sure the phlebotomist was there today before I made the 30 minute drive and she has the flu. I had no problem with that so I left the nurse a message to see what she wanted me to do. Well, I got tired of waiting and called at like 2:30 this afternoon to see what they wanted me to do because the nurse never returned my phone call and they made me drive all they way down there to get a form for my blood to get drawn at the hospital down the road a little ways. When I asked the nurse when I could set up my first appointment she said that she would have to wait until after they get the results from today's lab before they set up an appointment. Are you freaking kidding me???? I couldn't believe that she told me that. I got scared because I thought she meant that my levels weren't good or something. She told me that they had to see the results before they would schedule an appointment and that I was pregnant, but didn't tell me the number or anything. She left me hanging so bad and I was about to bawl! Why do they do that????? I am already on edge anyways and then she did that. I am beginning to feel like this one isn't going to work either. Do they do stuff like that to you too????

I took a test this morning and ept certainty said "Pregnant". What is that supposed to mean? lol. I got my positive!!! Thank you to everyone to answered my questions. I appreciate everything ya'll have done for me. I guess I will be going to the dr. monday and we will go from there. Since I have a history of miscarriages, I have to get blood drawn and hopefully they will do a sonogram in a couple of weeks. I am 4 weeks pregnant today. Wish me luck this time :)

Okay, so those of you who have answered my questions this week I apologize for being one of those annoying people who keep asking basically the same question. I am at 13 dpo today and I couldn't test because I was too chicken. I was afraid to see a negative, but I plan to test tomorrow or Saturday. Anyways, my temperatures are still well above the cover line and have been hanging out around 98.2 to 98.4 since 4 dpo. Do you think there is a bfp in my future? I have been pregnant twice and miscarried twice so I know what it's like to be pregnant, but I want your opinions. Thanks ladies.:)

I am 12 dpo today and my temperatures are way above the cover line. It hasn't dipped much at all. I took at test at 10 and 12 dpo with Answers brand and they were negative. I don't know why I still haven't gotten a positive. My chart looks like I could be pregnant right? I usually have a 12 or 13 day luteal phase and my temps are still up. Last month my temps starting going down at 10 dpo. What in the world is going on? I am so frustrated right now!!

I took a test this morning at 12 dpo because my temperature rose again, but I must say that my sleeping habits have gone to crap since I ovulated. I am so ansy and it is affecting my sleep. Anyways, I have pretty well given up this month because in April when I became pregnant, I got my positive at 12 dpo. I didn't even get so much as a faint line. Is it still possible to be pregnant? I have pretty well decided I am never going to have kids...I've been trying for 14 months now and I have miscarried twice. Guess it's just not meant to be.

I have several symptoms of pregnancy. I have had two miscarriages, so I know what to look for. I did take a test yesterday at 10 dpo but it was negative, and I have come to the conclusion that I took it too early :(. I have gotten positives at 12 dpo which is tomorrow. Should I test or try to wait it out? I am very anxious and want to know what you think, even though I am sure of what everyone will say.

I have already posted this, but I didn't get a good answer, so I am posting it again.

I normally take my temperature at 6:30, but fertility friend allows you to have 30 minutes one way or the other and it is still accurate. Yesterday I had to go to the bathroom really bad and at 5:45 I decided I would go ahead and take my temperature and go to the bathroom. I went back to bed and I woke up at 8:30 that same morning and took it again just to see and it was the same as it was at 5:45, so I figured it was pretty accurate. This morning I had the same issue and had to get up at 5:45 because I just couldn't hold it anymore. I went back to bed again and woke up again at 7:00 and took my temperature. It was slightly higher at 7:00 and that is within the window. I used the 7:00 temperature because it was in the window. What do you ladies think? What would you do? My temp. at 5:45 was 98.20 and at 7:00 it was 98.40.

I tested this morning at 10 dpo because I had a pretty substantial raise in temperature. I have some pregnancy symptoms so I really think I am. What do you guys think? Did I test too early? When would you test again if this were your chart?

Thanks ladies.

I am 10 dpo today and I took a pregnancy test this morning and got a negative. My temperature rose today like it is trying to go triphasic, but the test is negative. I think I may have tested too early and will try again later on in the week.

Here is my chart: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/224d9a

What do you think? What would you do?

Please advise.

I am currently 7 dpo and really itching to test, but I am going to try to make it to 12 dpo. When do you plan on testing? When is a good time to test? I won some hpts of ebay and they should be here in time for the test time. I will only test if my temps stay up though. They are no where near the cover line and I am so hopeful this time :)

Also, feel free to post your chart so others can see it.

Anyone who would like to share there chart in their response, please feel free.

I want to know if I might have a triphasic chart. I am thinking it might be too early, but I am already getting my hopes up, yeah I know, it's bad!! What do you think?
