Abroad & Lost Progetserone! Help.

[XOXO13]

*panic over! The local pharmacist was so lovely and gave me a pack and has ordered some more in for me. Time to breathe xx

I don’t really know the point in this post as this is totally my fault but I’ve lost a pack of my progesterone in transit to Spain for our holiday. I am panicking and so mad with myself. I don’t know what to do.

I’ve just found out that I am (gratefully) pregnant again after my miscarriage in June, I’m only between 5-6 weeks. I am already incredibly anxious and scared about losing this pregnancy. I really don’t think I can do it all over again.

My private doctor is on holiday so I’ve emailed my GP back home to ask if they’ll send a prescription to the local pharmacist here but they said they can’t. I really don’t know what to do. I’ll try the local pharmacist but I don’t know if they’ll help.

I take two a day and only enough for two days and one morning of my open pack. Even if I took one a day, I’d still be short five days. I am so scared I have doomed this pregnancy and I’m finding being away, newly pregnant with my husbands family who don’t know, really overwhelming, upsetting and stressful.

I feel so, so angry with myself for making sure everyone else had everything they needed for this holiday, packed everything for everyone and yet I’ve lost the one thing I desperately needed as reassurance for this pregnancy 😭

This is a very anxious time for you -make sure you have people around you for support Take a look at our website fertilitynetworkuk.org Access Support then go to Fertility Groups and select UK-Wide Groups There you will find a closed Facebook Group "Pregnancy & Beyond "

Enjoy your break

Thank you! She gave me a couple of packs which is more than I need so that’s reassuring as the midwives at my local hospital don’t even think I need it (you have to have 3 miscarriages in a row before they do va 3 generally over time) so won’t prescribe it themselves! It’s my provide gynaecologist that wants me to take it! Xx
