    Hi everyone! I know I've been scarce around here and I just wanted to explain why. On Thursday, as most of you know, our BFP was confirmed by my blood test. DH and I let ourselves be cautiously optimistic because we've been through a MC before and I especially had/still have a really hard time dealing with it.

    On Saturday I took a FRER and the line came up fast and pretty dark. I got even more excited. On Saturday night I started lightly spotting brown. I completely freaked out because the same thing happened when the MC in July first started. When I MC'd before I spotted all afternoon and by the next morning it was full blown bleeding. So when I woke up on Sunday and the spotting was still just barely there I had hope that this was just normal first trimester bleeding. I took another FRER on Sunday night and the line was already MUCH darker than it was on Saturday's test so my hope built up even more.

    I spotted all day yesterday and during the afternoon I started cramping. Before I went to bed last night it had turned into what we feared, definitely always there bleeding. It hasn't been confirmed by blood tests or the dr yet but I'm 100% sure that we're losing the baby again. I have low progesterone all the time and we're sure that contributed to my MC in July. I've been on supplements after (and even before) both BFPs but it doesn't seem to have done the trick.

    I'm sorry I haven't been around….while we were kind of in limbo it was just really hard for me to even think about the boards. I'm really sad and I have absolutely no idea what our next steps are.

    Thank you all for cheering us on though, I really appreciate the support!

    I'm so sorry - I hope you, DH and your doctors find a way to get a sticky baby soon! My best friend went through 2 MCs before they were successful. I'll be hoping the same happens for you next time!

    Oh no!  My heart goes out to you.  I hope your doctors give you some much needed answers.   Try to remember that there are plenty of women who have experienced multiple miscarriages who then went on to have beautiful healthy babies.  You'll get to the bottom of this.

    I'm so, so sorry. Not sure what progesterone you were taking, but the progesterone in oil shots are supposed to be much stronger and more effective than the suppositories. I will be using the progesterone in oil shots for my upcoming IVF. I would look into it, for the future. I'm so sorry you are going through this. I know how much you have been wanting a baby. You are in my thoughts...(((HUGS)))

    Thank you so much for all of your support, it's so nice knowing that there's somewhere I can come to get this support... I definitely feel the love and really appreciate the prayers!

    @Jenn23:

    I'm going to ask my doctor about the shots. I've just been taking pills orally and I think that the shots would at least be worth a try! Good luck with your IVF, I've been silently following your story and I've got my fingers crossed that this works for you!

    @Running Elley: Aw, thank you. Yes, definitely look into the progesterone shots. The oral pills are not as effective. Personally, I would go see an RE if I were you. They specialize in these things. My RE sees many women who have low progesterone. When I miscarried last summer my progesterone was very low, so they are going to be very on top of that if/when I conceive with the IVF. I will be taking the progesterone shots daily for many weeks, possibly months during the first trimester. Just a forewarning..the shots are supposedly a little painful. But it is worth it, I think. Let me know what your doctor says and if you decide to consult an RE. I'm sorry you are going through this. :(

    Elly this is not the news any of us wanted to hear. I am so sorry. I hope that this is just the darkness before the dawn. in fact I know it will be. I remember reading that the shots were what helped mariah carey after her mc so perhaps they will help you too. Pulling for you!

    Praying for strength , peace and comfort during this difficult time!

    You will get to the bottom of this and become a wonderful and amazing mother.

    I lost a bunch of weight through running a few years back, and it completely ruined my hormones- and I now have low progesterone. I wonder if your weightloss/running is related or you always had it.

    Regardless, hang in there. We all love and care about you and your family!
