What do you prego ladies drink to quench your thirst? I wish I didn't hate water.. I drink it as I can. It makes me sick!

It always makes me sick in pregancy too. Can you tolerate carbonated water like seltzer or Perrier??

So UPDATE: I'm off Progesterone and praying! The doctor said that they usually only keep women on for 10 weeks but with me it was just insurance so anywhere from 10-12 weeks is okay to just come right off and the placenta should be taking care of it by now... So I didn't take my morning one.. I didn't want to come off of it! UGH!
But at the same time my calculations are I'm 12 weeks today..

I swear all carbonated drinks are making me get sick later on too! I decided to try Countrytime Lemonade..

Atomic, I have enough pills till Friday if I took 2 a day... should I taper or just trust my doc!? Just take one tonight?
I don't know what to do and trying not to freak out.
My doc was all "You could take a few more pills if you want, but I don't know if it's dangerous or not" GRRRR!

I would love to hear everyone's experiences on when you quit Progesterone and how .. was it cold turkey or taper off...and at what point. Thanks!

And I just wanted to throw in that there was no discharge on my underwear when usually there is.. I think that's from Progesterone..

I don't know anything about discharge...I don't remember.
But I took it up until week 12 for 2 of my boys (probably should've taken it with all 3) and quit it cold turkey once I hit 12 weeks. My doctor was on top of it though...I love that man, I'm so sad he retired.
You were diagnosed with low progesterone? (Sorry, I just read the end of this thread and happened upon your question!)

I asked for it at the start of my pregnancy. It was a safeguard against M/C.
My gut isn't okay with stopping cold turkey, and I'm thinking one a night for 6 nights at LEAST!
Because I read that stopping cold turkey can cause spotting... GEE I never want to see that again! :(

You were spotting in the beginning of this pregnancy? I had it with all 3 of mine, but DS1 I was with a different doctor...she didn't prescribe any. I didn't have any more spotting after I quit the prometrium.

All has been well though..

I'm so glad everything is okay now! Good luck!
