Today is my D&C and I’m so nervous. I am so sorry. I have had two, and I can tell you they were the "easiest" part of the process. And my body reset immediately after. Hang in there. We are thinking about you.

My dr prescribed it to me right before my last loss but the day I picked it up I started fully miscarrying. I never asked how to use it for the next time we try. It is a pill you insert vaginally from 3 dpo on. It is supposed to help the lining thicken, therefore making it easier for implantation. This is only my second month taking it, so we shall see!
You are supposed to take a test the day your period is due and if that is negative, you stop taking the pill because if you keep taking it you can delay your cycle.

LOL at take a test the day your period is due.
Like people who are seeking fertility treatments don't test from 6dpo on and have an entire drawer of tests and an addiction to peeing on things. Hahahah.

I have done injections, capsules, and gel. Injections go into your backside once a day. Capsules/gel go up your vagina 1-3 times a day depending on your levels. All have their pros and cons. The gel (crinone) was the worse. So gross.

I do 100mg capsules twice a day. First one is actually 1 dpo in the evening, but I typically do medications/a trigger shot to ovulate so we know exactly when it occurs. On a natural cycle, I think they start a little later so it doesn’t interfere with ovulation. They are ok, but the capsules do disintegrate. I put it in right before bed and right before I leave for work so I’m sitting in the car for 30 min. It will leak, so always wear some sort of liner. I don’t love having sex while using them, because the texture bothers me. And like Donna said, it prevents a period, so you have to stop once you don’t get a positive test at ~15 dpo.

It is weird cause so many talk about the leaking, but I have zero issues even when I put them in in the morning. Vaginas are weird man.
I only have to do 3dpo because my progesterone levels were ok! But having some extra does not hurt.
catlady22 - call your doc and see what they recommended!

I definitely will call, but my dr is terrible. I am in the process of switching so will ultimately follow the new drs guidelines.

Procedure went well. I’m getting some soup now. In a decent amount of pain, but otherwise well.

even the most unexpected people are pregnant right now. “oops, haha quarantine!” i just got a (thoughtful) text from the only other person who knows what i’ve been going through and she’s 12 weeks pregnant. she didn’t want me to find out from someone else. two for two of my support people who didn’t even want anymore kids are now expecting more kids. lord give me the strength to be there for these hoes who have been there for me. 😩

@zweber it's so hard! Hugs! My sister and SIL are both pregnant. SIL is due a week after I was supposed to be, I don't want to go to her gender reveal - it's too many emotions.

No pregnancy announcements around me. Just people having babies. And I know the announcements are coming. At my work I know a few people are trying or will be soon. I just hope I beat them to it.

i hope you do too robotsvswrestlers! the expected pregnancy announcements don't really get to me anymore. i actually quite enjoy those. it's the "we don't want anymore kids!" and "HAHA OOPS!" that make me feel like fucking shit. i know it has nothing to do with me. obviously. but i feel things.

I was pregnant with quite a few people at the same time when I lost my son to stillbirth. I have skipped countless gender reveals, baby showers and first birthday parties. I have to preserve my heart too. It would be too hard to look around and think "he should be here crawling around too".
Hugs to everyone.

Thank you for this. While I'm sad anyone has to be in the loss boat, I'm glad to have validation of my feelings not as a crazy person ❤
