Progesterone supplements prolong a loss?

Hi ladies i got a bfp at 6dp5dt on Monday 13th following my frozen transfer and on Friday 10dp5dt i got 2-3weeks on clearblue. Ive had constant cramping for the past 8 days where i was advised to go to a&e due to the intensity as paracetamol wasn’t reliving the pain and i was given antibiotics for a possible infection from the transfer. I retested today and got 1-2weeks on clearblue and frer test line is less than half of the intensity i got on Yesterday’s test. Im on 400mg of cyclogest twice daily and Progynova 3 times daily.

My question is will the progesterone Pessary prolong a loss or mask it all together?

I’ve contacted my clinic but no response as of yet and EPU have basically told me to ride it out as im too early at 4w3d. Im not fully bleeding but have got some brown spotting when wiping only.

Ive booked in for betas tomorrow morning and I’ll obviously repeat them before i stop my medication.

Yes I believe it can prolong a miscarriage happening as it artificially keeps your hormones in a state to mimic pregnancy so your body can’t naturally resolve itself as it still thinks it pregnant someone won’t shed the lining

I agree with ivfgotadream, my experience was our little dots heart stopped and it didnt start to come away until i stopped all the drugs . I hope this isnt the case for you and that this is one of those stories that has a happier ending. All the love at this stressful and harrowing time. Xxx

I am very sorry to hear that 😔 yes I do think progesterone delays it, but until betas confirm it I would still take it. It’s heartbreaking, I know. But let’s hope it’s good news with your betas. Let us know ❤️

Hi Mh. I would carry on until you know for certain the pregnancy has gone. Another scan or blood Beta hCG test. Diane

Thank you for taking the time to reply ladies.

I had betas done yesterday morning and my numbers are 352.9mIU/ml at 13dp5dt or equivalent to 18dpo. I go back for second beta tomorrow morning. I know single beta doesn’t tell you much but im preparing myself for the worse as i would have expected them to be higher considering i got my first bfp on june 13th.

My second beta has come back and hasn’t quite doubled. There was exactly 48hrs between both.

First beta 352.9

Second beta 656.6

My clinic won’t get back to me until tomorrow so im at a loss until then.
