Progesterone takers: did your pregnancy symptoms feel different than your progesterone side effects?
I’m looking for answers from you gals who (1) took progesterone (shots, pessaries, suppositories) as part of your IF treatment (IVF, IUI, other injectible regime) AND (2) got pregnant.

You know the progesterone side effects — sore breasts, constipation, cramping. Did your pregnancy symptoms during the 2ww feel similar or different?

Answer by binx13ca
No. While taking progesterone I felt like I was pregnant. Sore breasts, nausea, cramping, small headaches. The side effects are teasers for sure. Only way to tell was a missed period.

Good pregnancy information?

Good pregnancy information?
I’m 8 weeks. Anything good I should know? I have little cramps, that’s alright I was told? I know I need to eat 3 good meals a day, or 5 small ones. I would just like to know what the “dos & don’ts” are.
I don’t smoke, don’t drugs, & don’t drink. I always drink V8 & Gatorade, not much water.

DO take your prenatal vitamin every day

Right now there isn’t a ton of stuff but be careful of chemicals and be sure to get rest when you need it. Drink lots of water!
I would recommend reading LOTS of books. I went to our closest baby consignment shop and got a ton of books and they are super cheap so it doesn’t matter if you use it a lot or not.

Enjoy your pregnancy!

could i be having cramps for pregnancy?
its been about six days since i had sex and i’m having cramps that i know are either because i’m about to start my period, or because i’m pregnant. but they’re not like regular period cramps, they’re in my lower stomach, about right under my bellybutton. i’m still, sadly, young so i don’t know what pregnancy cramps would be like or when they would occur. anything you guys say would help me out greatly.

Answer by Chantelle
Most women who have morning sickness during their pregnancy first notice it around 4-6 weeks. I think you should go out and buy a pregnancy test to take if you miss your period. That way you’re certain of the answer instead of guessing and stressing

Can you have a miscarriage without the pain? How long before a miscarriage do the pregnancy symptoms stop?

Can you have a miscarriage without the pain? How long before a miscarriage do the pregnancy symptoms stop?
It is said that there is pain, almost like menstrual cramping with bleeding after a miscarriage but what if there is no pain? does that mean that there was a miscarriage still?

Best answer:

Answer by ktheisen21
I’m not sure. I assume that this could be possible considering everyone is different. When I had my miscarriage I actually went into a form of labor. Which I didn’t think was possible. I now know that when I carry a baby to full term that I could probably handle delivering naturally! But I woke up fine and then slowly throughout the day it just seemed like my pregnancy symptoms stopped. It goes down as your HCG level decreases. After I fully lost the baby I didn’t feel pregnant at all!

Are truvia, purevia, and/or stevia safe to use during pregnancy?

Are truvia, purevia, and/or stevia safe to use during pregnancy?
My husband and I are trying to conceive. I have cut out caffeine all together as well as aspartame and other artificial sweetners. I have been drinking the new crystal light packets called pure fitness that are sweetened with stevia. I love theese because they are convienent, low calorie, taste good, and make it easy for me to drink lots of water. I also found orange juice sweetened with purevia. I also got free samples of a prenatal drink packet called Be Good that is sweetened with stevia. I started doing some research online and found that although truevia and purevia are now FDA approved, they may not be approved for pregnant women. And worse, stevia could cause infertility! Does anyone know if there is any truth to these claims? Also, has anyones doctor told them it was okay to use stevia or products made from stevia?
The prenatal drink packets are called Be Nice not Be Good…sorry!

Answer by MayFlowers
I, too, have been trying to find an answer to this question. I have asked a few of the OB doctors that I’ve been to, and they have all said that they only recommend Splenda. I’m not that excited about Splenda, but I began using it when I couldn’t get the okay on Stevia, Truvia, or Purevia. (PS- I did hear that Xylitol is out during pregnancy. I know you didn’t ask about that one, but thought I’d throw it in there) Good luck TTC! I’m anxious to try out Be Good.

i have a pregnancy due date calculation question….?
MY FRIEND. is not sure of her last period… what is was in september 2008.

The day she had sex was september 25, 2008

Can you figure out her due date just from that?? Just wondering.
she figures the beginning to middle of September in there was her period.
according to that date it would make her 25 wks
she was a virgin before this time (aka her 1st time). so, assuming that.. that would be her conception date.

exercise during pregnancy?
im 33 weeks pregnant and I know I should have been exercises through out my pregnancy but I have always been thin and I just started to really show about seven months. I walked during my pregnancy but never really worked out. Would it be bad for me to start working out? My friend got me a pregnancy work out video so im pretty sure its safe but if i start now could I go into labor early?

Best answer:

Answer by Andrew B
unlikely

the baby decides when its ready to come

the only thing to avoide is bouncing don’t do any kind of excersize that involves bouncing like running or jogging or jumping jacks etc

mild weight lifting, stretching, left lifts, walking, and sit ups are ok
