I think you need to start the suppositories at 3DPO to prevent miscarriage if your prog is low. What did your doc tell you to do the first time??

OB's nurse called me and asked if I would like a prescription for progesterone suppositories after my 1st apt @ 6 wks with my last (surprise) pregnancy. They didn't do any tests to check if I was low or anything. The nurse said the ob said it was up to me if I wanted to do it and that it would help sustain a pregnancy if my progesterone was low until the placenta took over. I've had multiple apts since then but we never discussed needing them for future pregnancy or when to start. And the ob knows we will ttc again.
Also as a side note the ultrasound specialist at the Genetic testing dr my ob referred me to for "ol mama's to be" asked if I had fibroids during the last ultrasound when they determined the baby's heart had stopped. No one ever mentioned it to me before so I asked the ob at a later apt. She said I did have a small fibroid but she wouldn't do anything about it because of my age and ttc. She said it is recommended to wait to ttc 18 mos after the surgery for fibroids and besides mine didn't seem to be the cause of mc because it wasn't near the baby.
I love my ob but sometimes I think I need to find another dr cuz she should've told me about fibroids and explained progesterone. I asked to be put on the blood pressure med during last pregnancy after having super high readings for 3 wks . I told them that they said the baby I was carrying had 0% chance of making it so I wasn't concerned about hurting the baby but I was concerned something might happen to me and I have a 4 yr old lil boy that I didn't want to leave motherless!
Plus my ob doesn't serve the hospital that I would want to deliver my baby at. I want to deliver at the hospital with the best NICU just in case ya know? Think I need to look for new ob and make a list of questions for them!

Most fibroids are TOTALLY benign and don't interfere with with pregnancy at all. I think I read that 50% of gals our age have them (they go away after menopause).
Def. find a new OB if you're not comfortable with yours! I think the OB makes all the difference in the world between a positive and a negative experience. GL!!
