    Any experience with cyclogest?

    My ob/gyn has prescribed me cyclogest and I’m not sure whether to take it as my progesterone levels are actually pretty good (I think!). I am 32 and have a history of infertility and miscarriage, most recently with a ruptured ectopic and subsequent salpingectomy at Christmas 2023. I am in the...

    Had my anatomy scan yesterday & *officially* joined a team!

    (Also x-posted to r/BabyBumps & r/Septemberbumpers2017, just FYI) I had my anatomy scan yesterday at 18w2d! Longer story short: the little one cooperated, everything looks good & healthy, and we found out with 100% certainty that we are definitely having a boy! (We were pretty sure we were...

    My wife started spotting last night. Very very light, but bright red/pink. It continued a little into today, to even less extent. We called our clinic and they are moving up our ultra sound from this coming Monday, to tomorrow morning. They said spotting is common but we are freaked out...

    HCG took 1 week to double between 6w4 and 7w4

    A bit freaked out by today's HCG draw (39DPO / 7w4 and my fifth overall - I've been going weekly since I got my positive pregnancy test since I'm working with an RE.) While the overall number is in range for 7 weeks at 58,364, my doubling time was a full week (172.8 hours). The pregnancy is...

    James Anthony - birth story and background

    Ok, so a bit of background for our newer members: I'm 30, mother to a six year old girl, and suffered one early miscarriage before James entered the picture. I really had a huge scare at 8 weeks with loss of symptoms and gushes of red blood. They couldn't find a reason, things went back to...

    4mm NT at 12W. Feel like I can’t breathe

    We received our 12W ultrasound yesterday, to screen for NT. before handing in the bloodwork paperwork I saw the markers- it was 55CTR with 4MM of fluid, we should have been 12W3D but we measured at 12W1D. I saw when googling this puts us in the 99th percentile. I don’t know how long we have to...

    Let’s see how long I’m here this time!!

    I POAS last night, even though I was only 9dpo and I generally don’t get positive tests till 11dpo. Lo and behold, there was the faintest shadow of a line! I tested again this morning, and it was much more definite. BUT.... I had a CP last month and three MC before that (my daughter, born in...

    Anyone have slow rising HCG and the pregnancy still ended up being viable?

    I’ve had 1 miscarriage at 7 weeks, 1 confirmed chemical at 5 weeks, and 2 suspected chemicals (a couple of days of faint lines with period a day late with large clots) within the past 8 months. I’m currently 11 DPO and have had a very faint positive the past 2 days. It is quite worrying as...
