I guess I feel weird posting my pregnancy updates when there are others struggling with infertility, but hopefully those members will read my updates as inspiration. If you guys want me to quit posting my pregnancy updates, please let me know.
I'm actually still very cautious and not as excited as I was when I found out I was pregnant before. Probably because there is like a 65%-some chance w/ my PCOS/hormonal problems of miscarriage, and I've gone through that before, so I know a little of what infertility/subfertility is about/feels like.

In all fairness we all come across pregnancy and baby stuff a lot, so to know someone who struggles with fertility problems - who shared her past joy and pain with us - is expecting, it is very heartening to hear. I guess if it hurts you would avoid reading it. It's only human to feel envy but you can't project your own pain onto someone elses happiness. Especially with those doubts lurking in your mind ouchy, our support is the least we can offer! xx

Has anyone ever mentioned taking injectible progesterone (in oil)? The doctors at my clinic always prescribe progeterone in oil for IVF patients, but sometimes the vaginal suppositories are used for IUI - however, I was told the injected progesterone is MUCH more effective than any other methods. I guess the other forms of progesterone don't raise progesterone levels as well as the injected.

Hi, cheryl. My progesterone level is actually really good right now. My OBGYN just wants me to continue the cream that I have been using since ovulation for maintenance until week 12. I'll have my progesterone levels checked periodically, and if it starts to get low, then I'll have the suppositories. But for now it's high enough to even sustain multiples. Thanks, though!

Thanks, shona. Yah. I also now think that if someone is so jealous and repulsed by reading my pregnancy updates for want of having her own baby, that person probably wouldn't be a good mother anyway, because that would be a very selfish thing, and selfishness is definitely not a good characteristic for a mother...example of that is my mother! So, I'm glad so far everyone seems to support my updates. I think they might be beneficial for some who struggle with the same problems.

People shouldn't read this and get upset. They should read this and feel hope instead. From what I have gathered from all of your posts Ouchy you have been thorough a lot with endo and look now you are a mommy to be. So keep posting away we all want to know how you are doing. You have always been a huge source of support and a bottomless well of info (I sometimes wonder where you find it all) and have helped each and everyone of us!!!! So I will thank you for all of your help.

Hi Ouchy, please keep posting your pregnancy updates. It really give me inspiration. In my last cycle I used to very upset, but this cycle you make me positive a lot, and may be the effect of yoga also that I started
