Hi all...My name is Dani...I'm new to the board...EDD 10/6/07 after 5 m/c's.....I do thank god for my happy and healthy ds though!!
So, my question is, anybody using a progesterone cream? and if so, what kind?? My doctor does not believe in progesterone supplement therapy and says that there are no real studies proving it's effeciency!! blah blah blah!! the doctor at the hospitals antenatal unit said the same thing...but from what I've read ALL OVER THE NET INCLUDING ON THESE BOARDS!!.....it works wonders....I made them test my levels....it was at 9.5 on 4 weeks ago....so I went to the GNC store and bought Femgest cream...its all natural, not the synthetic hormone....480mg's per ounce....I've been using it 2 times a day since I was about 4 weeks pg...i'm 9 weeks now....so i guess i'm just wondering what mg is a good dose??
I've tried to switch doctors...but nobody will see me because I am a high risk pregnancy and they haven't been treating me from the beginning...I've tried several local OBGYN's....
I had blood clots in the lungs when i was 20..(i'm 24 now)...so for this pg, i also have to give myself a lovenox (blood thinner) shot in my stomach 2 times a day....
When I m/c...the heart just stops beating between 9 and 11 weeks....so i'm in the "up all night, worried about every cramp" state because of my history!! The doctor could never tell me what causes the m/c's.....any advice would be appreciated!!!!


Dani, congratulations on your pg!
I have never used the progesterone cream but I was using progesterone suppositories for the first 10 weeks of my pg.
Welcome to Pal and congratulations on the pregnancy. My name is Jenn and I have had four confirmed losses, 1 un-confirmed loss and lost a twin during this pregnancy. I used progesterone suppositories from 3PO till 14 weeks and it was 600MG a day for the whole time. I was found to have a luteal phase defect and that is why I needed the progesterone cream.
