Progesterone cream?

[TTC5]

Progesterone cream.... should I consider this? I have history of miscarriage and am worried that maybe I am miscarrying my "boy" babies :( Does the cream help with staying pregnant after conception and are there side effects????

It does, but it is a lot less effective than the progesterone that you get from your doctor. It would be a lot better to see your doctor, find out if you even NEED the prog supps to begin with (there are simple tests they can do which will show this) and then get the real prescription strength prog.

If you are miscarrying boy babies, it would be due to a genetic disorder and have nothing to do with progesterone levels because low progesterone levels make you miscarry any baby regardless of gender, simply because your body cannot sustain a pregnancy without progesterone. You would need to consult with a geneticist to rule this out BUT if you have had 4 daughters and several miscarriages, it ~might~ be something to consider looking into. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/showthread.php?824-You-quot-can-t-quot-carry-a-baby-of-that-gender

Gotcha :)

If you think it's a LP problem, I took 25 mg B6 and that lengthened my LP from 9 to 12 days.

My LP is around 14 days so I don't think I have troubles there?

If your LP is 14 days, you have no need of progesterone supplementation and I doubt your doc would even do a test in that case.

Thanks Atomic. I am just worrying for nothing I guess.
