[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had three miscarriages.  They tested the third, and it was Down Syndrome.

I gave up after that.  But I was kind of ambivalent anyhow about having children.

I got pregnant very easily.  The third pregnancy, my doctor said that there really isn't a lot of evidence that progesterone supplementation helps.  I don't know if that is accurate.

I got a referral to see an RE but never went because I was pretty certain that the RE would suggest IVF with testing.  I just didn't want to go down that road.

I also found the miscarriages to take a huge physical toll.  But I actually didn't really find much support for that, even online.  People minimize miscarriage and act like it's "just a bad period."  But I'm pretty sure that the process of getting pregnant and then losing the pregnancy threw my hormones into disarray.  It took months to get back to feeling normal.

Ultimately, I concluded that perhaps I'm just really sensitive to all of the hormonal changes.  And deep down, I had a concern that the IVF drugs would be hard for me.

I wrote about it on here, but I actually got a lot of nasty responses that I just wasn't willing to do everything possible to have a child and there was the suggestion that maybe I wasn't mother materials if I wasn't willing to go to any and all lengths.

At the end of the day, depending on your age, you have to decide what you are willing to do.  I would avoid seeking out information on the internet.  It will drive you crazy.

Go to the RE and explore your options.  [/quote]

Progesterone will 100% help you if that's the reason you are miscarrying. If that's not the reason, then it won't help you. [/quote]
