Same here. Got BFP about 1.5 weeks ago after my first IVF cycle. Doc has me on progesterone shots and estrogen pills for the next 8-10 weeks. She said it helps maintain the pregnancy. Going for 1st ultrasound on Thursday to check on baby. Hoping everything is going well.Baby dust to all!!!
Progesterone concerns
I've been taking progesterone. I'm concerned if I'm pregnant would it cause me to have a period and thus cause a miscarriage? My doctor said that it would only cause a period if I'm not pregnant but that if I take it and don't get a period then to take an hpt. Have any of your doctor's said the same or can you confirm this?

That sounds right what your doctor said. I took progesterone for a few months from ovulation until I got my period, then would stop. The cycle I got pregnant, I just kept taking it, got the positive test, and have been taking it throughout the first trimester. It helps support pregnancy but also doesn't prevent periods.
I was on progesterone until I hit 10 weeks in my pregnancy to ensure the pregnancy stayed since I did IVF. I wouldn't worry about it.

Happy to know you and your baby is good
I'm taking it too and tried it for both purposes. In the past, I took it to get withdrawal bleeding and start my period, knowing I didn't ovulate. This cycle I ovulated and my doctor gave me progesterone CD 18-28. I asked her whether it'd harm if I get pregnant and she said in the contrary, it'd help sustain the pregnancy post implantation.
