Re: Miscarriage & progesterone?

April 13, 2006

UMmmm I think you really need a doc who knows a bit more than these two. Of

course it's thyroid/maybe adrenal related. Should you really have to beg

the doc for progesterone? You can buy high quality progesterone OTC. Read

This was me exactly. After my first miscarriage, and renewed

spotting with the second pregnancy, my doctor put me on

progesterone. For my second child he started me on it right away.

It did the trick, I had two children after that with no problem.

Now, the doctor had tested me for, and was certain I was low in

progesterone to begin with. Which I understand is typical for hypos.

alos, the OTC creams will probably not be strong enough. My ob said

progesterone is tricky, you need the right quality and the right

administration. He was very picky about where I purchased the

hormone. Sublingual tablets were ok the first time around but made

me very nausious. Progesterone supposetories worked best.

I think you have mistaken me with someone else. Another Peg. I talked to her

earlier. My Dr. is a butt hole. I'm on Levoxyl. I still have symptoms but

they say my harmone level is normal according to my blood work. PHOOEY! I stay

cold, especially my feet and hands, I get nausea,dizzy spells, forgetfulness.

Too many to list. I have many health problems and am on about 12 meds. I've

had 7 strokes also. Nobody seems to know why. And sex? What sex? I've already

went through menopause so I thought that was the reason I didn't have any

sexual desires. I'm married and that is causing a lot of problems. I have

depression and panic attacks too. Please write back. You may know more about

this

than me.

You are lucky to have a good and understanding doctor. Mine didn't

test me for anything. I am glad that the progesterone worked for

you...maybe there is some hope for me too. Is there a specific

brand I should ask for?

happedned to be a fertility specialist. I did not know that when I
