Keep taking the progesterone girls!

Well I guess I shouldve taken progesterone every day following ET, but along with anticoagulant injections and also antobiotics four times a day the past week's been a blur of illness, bed and ten hour work days. Therefore period's arrived but only myself to blame! At least we gave it a go though.

Don't blame yourself as this is a what if situation. You have obviously been through a lot and though I agree that the progesterone is supposed to support you but I have had a period while taking them. I guess the hardest thing is to accept that there will be a reason but I'm sure you're not to blame. Take care xxx

Thanks, it is hard but my husband is very supportive in a pragmatic way. Ive been taking one progesterone every second day so only had half the dosage but it's better than none at all I spose. Was wiped out last weekend following three hours in A&E with bladder infection and two very painful blood tests. Think I've reacted badly to antibiotics cos iron levels feel really low n flu-like symptoms. Never know though, the two little blighters might just be hanging on in there!! X

I was told by an independent sonographer that there is little evidence to show that progesterone will help implantation or stop early miscarriage. Some IVF clinics don't even prescribe them anymore. So please don't blame yourself! It sounds like you have been through an awful time so take time for yourself to rest and heal. IVF is an ordeal itself never mind the rest of the things that happened xxx

Thank you, that's a weight lifted for me. We'll go back to Plan B of adoption if it's end of ivf road for us. All will work out in the end I'm sure xx

My clinic prescribed them 2 weeks only, they said it was just in case my body didn't know what to do as I was a nonresponder to drugs. They said my body would be able to takeover from there. And my period doesn't seem to care what drugs I'm taking. If it's time, it starts. And who knows? Maybe your baby is already here. You just need to find him or her.

Don't blame yourself. You gave it a good go.
