Question

After 3.5 years finally..Positive bloodwork, +hpt this morning and now AF?!?!

I feel so emotional right now. Husband and I have been trying for over 3.5 years and I finally got a bfp.. Then bloodwork on 12dpo and hcg was at a 10. Now AF shows . It's bittersweet I'm elated that I can get pregnant but so gutted. Dr said my progesterone was low, could that be why it didn't stay? I wish I could trick myself into thinking I'm my out..

I'm so sorry.

How low was your progesterone? Did they give you progesterone supplements? Are you going back in for a repeat blood test?

She said it was low at a 2. No they didn't give me anything just said to wait till dr gets back from out of town

What's weird are the cramps I'm having are signifacently less than regular period cramps, I'd think it would be more since I had a CP?

A 2 is very low. When your doctor gets back into town, you might want to ask for supplemental progesterone to always take during your luteal phase. I do crinone from 2 days after ovulation until 14dpo when I take an hpt and if it's negative, I stop the progesterone (if it's positive, I continue it until week 10).

Since it's so early, basically it's just like AF, only with a microscopic embryo as well.

I will ask when I see her! We were supposed to start iui next month but now I don't think I want to since this actually happened! Hopefully they'll let me just use the supplements for a bit with out iui :)

Now my period has stopped?!

Maybe it's implantation spotting or cervical irritation and not AF after all.

But that progesterone number is troubling.

You defiantly need to be on progesterone during LP if it was a 2 .. I hope they give u some ASAP ! Good luck but I think if u take progesterone your IUI will go fine . Progesterone has a lot to do with staying preggers! If they don't want to give u the progesterone I would find another doc !
