I have had 2 miscarriages in the last 7 months, my doctor believes that is an issue with low progesterone. I am currently 3dpo, my doctor wants me to wait until I get a bfp to start my progesterone suppositories, but I keep reading that if I wait that long it might be to late. Should I begin the progesterone suppositories now or wait until my bfp like my doctor advised me to?

I am not pregnant or on the pill. I am 45 years old & have been told that low progesterone can cause it....anyone else
I got my first period kind of late (17 yr old) and it was immediately irregular. Back then my doctor told me "not to worry about it" when I asked her about how it would affect my ability to get pregnant later on. She said we should wait to worry about it til I was trying to get pregnant. Now that time has come.
I was on the depo shot for about 3 years at the beginning of my relationship with my fiancee, but then he noticed my sex drive was down, so I went to the doctor and she suggested I switch my bc to the patch. I was on the patch for probably about a year and decided in May 2013 to stop. I was testing to see if my period would come back, because even on the patch/ depo I never got it.
I got my period for one week in June, and then it never came back. I have taken a crazy amount of pregnancy tests because we never used any other form of birth control...like literally, not even the "pull and pray"
Finally, I decided that in February 2014 to go see the doctor because me and my fiance want to start a family right after we get married. They prescribed progesterone to try and "jump start" my period and ran a bunch of blood test (like my thyroid and blood sugar levels) which all came back normal.
The progesterone did start my period, which lasted a week. Then it was off for a week, then came back for another week. But now, over a month later, I have nothing. Not even a hint. The doctor today said it was time to start talking fertility issues, so I am going back next month.
Does anyone out here have any experience with using progesterone to help regulate the function of the Sphincter of Oddi?
My history: I am a healthy and active 132lb, 42 year old female, but I have been having pain in my upper right shoulder, neck and collarbone for three years now that has really curtailed my life and work. I have tried massage, acupuncture, physical therapy, drugs, strength training, chiro, all with no results. Recently a chiro noticed that my gallbladder area was tender and mentioned that gallbladder problems can refer pain up to the right shoulder area through the phrenic nerve. When I started tracking my pain and food I did notice a connection with pain in my shoulder and my right lower ribs as well (which I had been hiding with lots of ibuprofen). An ultrasound, blood work, and HIDA came back normal (at least that's how the doc reads it), but I'm still having pains when I eat oily foods. So now I am thinking I might have problems with the sphincter and with bile backing up creating pressure on the phrenic nerve. Another symptom is that I am now also having pains on my left side which could be the pancreas being impacted, which shares the common duct and sphincter.
So my question stems from the fact that I had a hysterectomy several years back and have only been on estrogen replacement. I've recently found out that progesterone is important for relaxing the Sphincter of Oddi muscles as well as gallbladder function (as well as many other things). When my nutritionist suggested a few months back to use Progonol, a progesterone cream, it did have a positive effect on the pain within two weeks, but it also caused acid reflux (it also loosens the valve between the esophagus and the stomach), so I had to stop taking it and now we are trying to figure out the best way to introduce it back into my body.
Just wanted to provide information for people thinking about or just starting cerazette mainly because all I could find were people's horror stories before starting it so thought I'd add a positive review of the pill. It's a progesterone only contraceptive pill.
I started it just under a year ago and have loved it. I originally went on it due to a very long menstrual cycle. My bleeding was totally normally - rarely very heavy, no period pain and lasting between 5 and 7 days. But my cycle as a whole was quite erratic and very long on average over the course of a year - my average cycle length over a year was 37 days. The doctors found nothing wrong after blood tests etc so said not to worry and if I wanted it more controlled to go on the pill. So I did.
I started it on day 1 of my cycle back in november 2013 and that is the last normal period I have had. I've had a couple of days of very light spotting each month and 2 periods (both of which were very light and only about 3 days in length) in almost a year.
Many people talk about weight gain and I have not changed my diet or exercise routine at all and my weight has fluctuated by about a kilo. So really my weight hasn't changed. I have not suffered any depressive moods or mood swings. Though before starting cerazette my only symptom of an upcoming period was tender breasts and I still get that occasionally.
I've also not had any headaches or an increase in acne. Being 24 I still get the occasional spot but they've not gotten worse or more prevalent since starting cerazette.
Overall I'm really happy with cerazette as I've also not gotten pregnant over this past year which is particularly delightful as I do not want a child at the moment. It is also the only method of birth control me and my boyfriend have been using since March.
If you have any questions about it let me know, it can be really daunting searching the internet and reading people's experiences on cerazette as some of them are horrific but here is a positive one. Its worked exactly how I wanted it to except instead of making my periods regular, got rid of them which is even better!
I'm new to hormone therapy and just today started 1 mg estradiol once daily and low dose progesterone. I am 28 and my last blood work shows that my hormones are very low. I have been basically going through menopause..although my cycle had remained somewhat normal until this last month.. I have experienced weight loss.. and I have trouble keeping weight on..mood swings and hot flashes are present..and a General just not feeling well is the biggest complaint I have .. I would like to ask if anyone could explain to me what I can expect from the treatment? What benefits might i see as a result of taking these two medications..
View 2 RepliesHow does depo provera affect progesterone test readings?
View 1 RepliesI am a 54 yr-old who started hormone therapy (estriol gel and oral progesterone) 3 weeks ago. Within 24 hrs, I experienced leg heaviness which worsened over the week. My obgyn said she'd never heard of this side effect. After being off for a week, I've resumed w/the oral progesterone and an estrogen patch. The heavy leg sensation never ceased, but is now back full force. My legs feel leaden! After much research on the internet, I am unclear as to the danger of this side effect, and if it may subside over time.
View 1 RepliesHave posted before this Xmas saying things haven't been too bad, and that's right. But things changed earlier today when I felt a fire building up in my Vagina! Anyway I used one of my Suppositories and sat quietly for half an hour and the burning was easing! It's about the quickest I have ever known a suppository to work! It's not perfect but before I used the suppository my discomfort, on a scale of 1 - 10 was 10. After using the suppository, it's down to about 1.
View 26 RepliesI ordered four packs of the Key E suppositories from US because they were so much cheaper ( then got walloped with £18 in import duty so no they weren't) and ordered some Tea Tree suppositories at the same time as I had read how these were soothing.
Tried one yesterday and as expected very tingly but by last night I was dry as a bone, sore and today burning up like crazy so will not be using these again. Back to the Key E and coconut oil for me
I've been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis yesterday and was given 30 x 500 mg suppositories but the consultant said I would have my next appointment in 3 months time.I have to use one per night.Do I use them just for 30 days or should I ask my doctor for some more after 30 days ? It's all very new to me.
View 5 RepliesI'm fairly new to Orlistat having started beginning of october having not much luck on diets as I luuurve my food. But I had decided to go to my doctor and ask for help and she recommended I try these tablets.
I've struggled a couple of times trying to find the right foods but i'm slowly getting there i certainly have cut down on eating all the crap and stuff i love to eat but without totally having to give it all up by changing my fat/calorie intake. I have experienced the overload of fat once and it was not pretty lol, I will not be having a pizza for a while thats for sure. Its definitely a trial and error process just finding what foods work and wot doesn't for me and how much i can eat of it. I for one know these tablets are a god send as it stops me from having all those fatty lovely tasty foods that i know I shouldn't be eating and more of what i should be.
I'm a 30 year old pretty healthy female. I don't drink or do drugs. I do have ulcerative colitis..
OK. On the 9th of this month I started bleeding pretty heavy. According to my LMP I was about 8 weeks pregnant. I went to ER and my HCG levels were at 6400. And there was a yolk sac and fetus measured in at 5 weeks. So they said it was too soon to see heart beat. I knew something was wrong then BC I had positive pregnancy tests 5 weeks prior to this....
OK so I had my HCG levels checked on the 12th.
They were at 5000. And ultrasound for sure showed no heartbeat. Miscarriage was confirmed
Had to go back to ER on the 17th due to severe pain and bleeding. Ultra sound showed no yolk sack this time. Just products of conception. And my HCG LEVEL WAS 2000... They gave me the mitro whatever pill (4 in my cheeks) to speed things up. They gave me the choice of a d & c or the pill...
HAD HCG RECHECKED ON THE 21ST AND THEY WERE 1099....
TODAY, THE 23RD, I started almost passing out every time I stand up. Boyfriend made me go back to the er. Ultrasound showed complex material left in there. Fluid and solid mass. They suspect it was a blood clot. BUT MY HCG LEVEL WAS 1600 TODAY!!!!
I know I'm not pregnant so why oh why are my HCC levels now going back up. They sent me home from the er and tell me things are fine. Fine? No. I'm almost passing out, and have been bleeding since the 9th... And these are no cramps. It is severe pain!!! Please give me some insight as to why they are going back up..
I am 31 female and have IBS with constipation. This plus childbirth has given me some nasty hemorrhoids. This is the first really painful ones I have ever had so I went to urgent care and was sent home with Lidocaine ointment and hydrocortisone suppositories. Last night in a nice soaking bath I farted. I thought "wow that didn't hurt. This stuff works wonders". Then I smelt an awful smell and looked to see orange oil floating in the tub. My whole body smelt awful. It was so greasy and hard to wash off in the shower I took.
Today it. Happened again. Can it be the suppository? I don't eat fish or cashews (allergic to cashew) all that is all the internet had to offer.
Are suppositories safe for everyday use? What about more than once a day?
I can't find any good information on this.
I have used a vaginal suppository prescribed by gyn in night. In morning, there was a gross whitish deposit on the inner wear. I took bath and cleaned up well, but now also, I see certain discharge on my underwear and some whitish granules on the vulva.
Have I used the suppository in some wrong way? and is there anything I should have done in morning to clean up?
How do I put these on?? and how long do I leave it in for? Can I have sex after putting one in if so for how long till having sex?
View 2 RepliesI saw that several people on here at success with the ProsCure Suppositories. So I thought finally something that will work and now they don't sell them any more. No longer available it says. I've looked on the internet and can't find a thing on them or the company that made them. It's like they have dropped off the face of the earth. Is there another product comparable?
