Hi looking to for some advice if anyone’s ever taking progesterone through their pregnancy and if it helps too? I’m currently nearly 6 weeks pregnant with what would of been my 4th child if I didn’t miscarry 3months ago and I had an ultrasound today which showed a lot of blood round the top area of where baby grows etc so have gave me a choice to take progesterone? Also does anyone know if it’s normal for my stomach to be so swollen looking at this stage as you can honestly already tell I’m pregnant and I dunno if this is morning🙈

I was prescribed progesterone in my 2nd pregnancy after a bleed at 6w. That pregnanch ended up being my 2nd miscarriage.
For my 3rd pregnancy I took progesterone from my positive test and had a healthy pregnancy, healthy baby 4 months ago.

And yes I was pretty bloated through my 1st trimester

So sorry to hear that. I have 2 little girls aged 4 and 5. Was pregnant 3 months ago but lost it at nearly 12 weeks and really don’t know whether I should take the pessary tablets or not. They said there’s a lot of blood surrounding the area so not sure what will happen with that.

It won't do you any harm to take it. I had IVF and it's standard to take progesterone didn't cause any issues for me. I'm now 35 weeks.

I took it for the first 12 weeks twice a day it was prescribed because I had a previous loss I'm almost 35 weeks now. And yes bloating from all the hormones is normal
It will settle down x

Thank you for that , has eased my mind a lot more :) I’m 5 and a half weeks just now but waiting on the prescription so can start taking it. And as to the bloody you would really think just now I was about 3 months pregnant🙈 not sure if this is just cause would be my 4th pregnancy or not lol
