Jan/Feb 2011 Mommies (Nov & Dec 2010 early babes)

Taryn, Im also on the cyclogest. She gave me script until I see her again at 8wks. Then she will decide if I need to continue. Didnt need it with my son.. But Ive been battling with short LP since ttc and she said my progestrone count was low at about 5wks so rather play safe and take the stuff. The unfair part is that medical aid dont cover it (they see it as fertility drug ) and it worked out over R900 for the 3wks. Which isnt much if its to keep my little bean safe.. but with all the scans and drs appointments and bloods, they all do add up

Maryke- that's terrible, I'm so sorry to hear about your back! ouch! and carrying multiples is going to put a big strain on it now hey! poor thing!

glad that the babies are fine though! I hope you feel better soon, i suppose it's hard for them to dose you full of meds when pregnant too!

HI to all

Welcome to all the newbies hope you have smooth pregnancy

Glad all the ladies that went for there scans that it went well and everythings fine

Afm I have had back problems since my car accident in 2007 went for a rhisotimy last year feb sorted the problem but then last night i helped my lo of the loo and just felt this pop in my back was a bit eina but could manage that was short lived i couldn't turn in bed couldn't get out of bed could barely make it to the loo i couldn't even sit on the loo phoned the gyne he said i must come in done a scan at least babas are doing fine looks good but he admitted me to hospital where my neuro surgeon is taking care of me they wanted to put me in tracktion i think that's what he called it but he then decided on pain killers and physio so here i am lying in hospital waiting it out sorry for the long storie just had to share feel so down looks like i am leaving work alot earlier then expected

Hope you have a fab weekend!

Taryn, Vix has summed it up all nicely. I'm on it cos of IVF treatment andthey give it you cos its an assisted pregnancy and just to make sure everything goes ok til 12w.

I haven't bookd yet, i'll see as im not sure if dh wants to go, he hasn't said yes or no, so i will see.

Enjoy your day ladies!

Taryn- if someone has suffered multiple MC then they will be on progesterone support because low progesterone is often the cause of many MC before 12w, If a woman has been trying for a very long time to concieve and never had a BFP even thoguh she is O regulally then it's possible that the embrio does not survive because of low progesterone levels so support is given. I wouldn't say there are particular signs to look out for, if you have a very short LP when TTC then they might also give progesterone support. I think in your case you shouldn't worry, you've carried a healthy child to term in recent years, you didn't have trouble concieving as such (I know it took you a few months but that's pretty normal) and if you haven't had multiple MC's then I see no reason why you would have a progesterone problem. I only had a 11 day LP which may possibly have bennefited from progesterone support but my gynae said it actually wasn't nessicary.

Hi Binks- you must be excited for your scan on Monday? Mine is still 2w away yet I am DESPERATE to go again LOL what sex are you hoping for?

Carmen- how is the irritation going? Your scan is tuesday hey?

Chris- I'm not going to the SAMBA thing, DH wasn't terribly excited with the idea and I can read everything I want to know so now I've got coffee plans, are you still planning on going?

Hi ladies,

Just a quick question - how come most of you are on progesterone support?
I was just wondering what sign I should be looking out for in case I need it too.

Maybe Im just acting silly

Hi Ladies

Agh Carmen, sorry about the skin irritation, it must be aweful! Not sure of what to take? Anyhow, Im also starting on the uterogestan tonight, can be taken in the mouth or vaginally, but when I spoke to my clinic she said its better vaginally as it disssolves quicker and you dont get as nauseas with it, but its gonna be loads of fun. Are you still on 200mg too?

Binks, few days to go, cant wait to hear what the sex is!
