Progesterone. Ovulation. My first MC. So many thoughts.
I am currently miscarrying my first pregnancy. Three days ago I had the worst cramps of my life. They were contractions. I knew I was losing my baby. I was 7+3. A scan the next day revealed my lining was thin and the gestational sac that I saw at 5+2 was gone. My mind is racing and although I know there was likely nothing to be done, I can’t help but wonder what might have happened if I asked for progesterone. When I got my levels checked at 5+2 my P was only a 5. My gut was telling me that was too low but the doctor said everything was fine.
Anyways my cramps are getting less intense and farther apart, I am passing less tissue, and the smell (sorry TMI) is getting lighter so I feel the end is near. If it is not over in a few days, I will ask my doctor for medicine to move things along.
We’ve decided to start trying right away as soon as I stop bleeding. Should I ask my doctor to put me on progesterone now? I want it as soon as I ovulate. TCOYF says to start tracking your next cycle. Does that mean I need to start tracking now? Is the first day of my miscarriage the first day of this cycle? So many questions but MC is so taboo it’s hard to find answers.
