Lost a baby girl at 18 weeks, dream of getting her back

[atomic sagebrush]

Spotting is ok, provided AF hangs on till CD 12-14. Your lining isn't completely coming off, not at all, andthere are many women who have spotting the whole LP and still get pregnant.

The number you want to know at 9 DPO is your progesterone.

Clomid is always better than prog supplements. Clomid helps you get pregnant and is the best of the best at TRULY raising progesterone. Studies have shown that progesterone supplements DO NOT HELP women to get and stay pregnant with the exception of women who have a very short LP (which if AF is not here at CD 11, this is not you) They may postpone a miscarriage for a little while but they do not help a pregnancy that isn't working out, to become viable. They only drag out the inevitable and it's been proven. More and more doctors are dropping them but many will still let people have them almost as a placebo.

It is always possible to go to the doctor and see how many follicles you ahve on Clomid but you will drastically cut your odds of conception by doing that. The follicles do not always "pop" and even when 2,3,4 eggs are released, it is very common for only one to successfully fertilize and implant.

No vitex. I feel like it is not helping anyone at all except women with very severe PCOS. For everyone else it is making matters worse.

Thank you, I am feeling much better now. I will post the blood results when I get them.

Hi

The blood test results are :
Progesterone 1678ng/dl AT 9 DPO. No other vagues were tested, but progesterone seems to be ok or not? But the doc says I should take prog supplements nonetheless. Should I? I would rather
try without, but will prog supplements improve my chances ? If progesterone level is ok, what are the reasons for spottings?
Do spottings decrease chances of pregnancy?
Sorry for so many questions

Thank you in advance

Sorry but i have one more problem - all this time, since I have conceived my girl that i lost, i have been taken B12 as a part of folic acid supplement. Till now I was not aware that it sways blue. What should I do now? If I stop with B12 today, when can I ttc? How long will it take to leave my system?

Sorry but one more question


IF I would include alcohol in my sway( vodka or rom with coke) how much (ml) is not too much or not to little for the effect? When should I quit drinking at O or some days before?

Thank you in advance

Still no replies

I answer the posts from oldest to newest and whenever you post, it bumps back up to the top to make it look "newer" than it really is. So when you ask several questions over a few days, it is always in the "new" section and I am still back in the "old". It is absolutely fine to do that, of course, I am just explaining why I did not respond until just now. I just caught up to it.

I am not a fan of progesterone supplements for no reason. They've been shown to do no good for getting and staying pregnant. But, many doctors still use them and it's up to you if you want to proceedwith htem.

Low estrogen can also cause some spotting. But so can things like fibroids and polyps, have they checked for those?

I would have you add 1 serv. full fat dairy a day, 4-6 eggs a week, and 1 serv. of salmon or red meat a week to what you're already eating. This can help with both progesterone and estrogen.

Don't worry about the B12, go ahead and wean off it now and TTC right away. Dont' worry about it leaving your system.

1-2 glasses of alcohol a day.

Hi,

Thank you very much for your time and answers.

I am sorry, I didn't want to seem so impatient. But I probably am, I feel myself just alone and sad with my desperate wish for a girl. But many ladies here feel perhaps the same so I am sorry and will try ...
And thank you for your explanation about your way of answering questions, I thought it was the other way around.

So you think progesterone is OK?

Low Estrogen - may it cause problems in getting or maintaining pregnancy?
I eats eggs sometimes, I am a big fan of it, so I cheat. I will also include salmon in my diet.

I will try this month without prop supplements, I don't like them either.

Fibrosis and polyps - every time I visit the doc, I get vaginal ultrasound, last time also. Doc says it looks good. Would he detect
Fibrosis and polyps per ultrasound or is there other ways to check it?

B12 - I was at a store today and was said there are no folic acid supplements for pregnant women without B12 in Germany. I will ask here ladies from Germany what do they take. But if I will not find some folic without B12, what should I do?

So 1-2 units of alcohol per day? When should I quit drinking at O or some days before?

Thank you.

Progesterone looks ok to me but I am not a doctor, of course.

Eating eggs is not a cheat - they are fine if they fit in the limits of your diet.

Normally they would see polyps or fibroids on the ultrasound but many doctors do not treat small ones and so may not have mentioned it? I do think they would have said something but can't be 100% sure.

Go ahead and use the folic with the B12. It's not that terrible and may help you have a healthy pregnancy.

yes 1-2 servings of alcohol.
