late progynova dose at 4w5d (FET) - looking for reassurance

[emma_g87]

hi. I’m 4w5d pregnant following FET. I’m on quite a lot of medication due to having trouble getting my lining to thicken - 2x Cyclogest pessaries (taken rectally for the last 3 weeks because of irritation), 1x lubion injection, 6x2mg progynova tablets, and also estradiol patches 2x per week.

On Tuesday I took all medication as normal at 7am, except I completely forgot to take my progynova tablets. I called the clinic in the evening to ask what to do and they advised me to take the missed dose and continue taking my daily dose as normal from 7am the next day. This was at 7pm, so Tuesdays dose ended up being 12 hours late.

Since Tuesday I’ve had extremely light brown spotting when I go to the toilet. I’m so worried that I’ve completely messed things up and caused a potential MC.

My clinic took hcg levels yesterday - they said these were normal but I obviously won't know for sure until they do the repeat blood test tomorrow.

Does anyone have any reassurance? Have you taken a pre or missed progynova dose and everything still worked out?! I’m so so anxious, I can’t focus on anything but this.
