One article I read on chemical pregnancy said an OB may recommend these treatments to help develop a healthy pregnancy. Has anyone here used them?

When would they be started? I plan to talk to my OB about it when they call with my lab results but wanted to get opinions from real women.

I don't have any real knowledge on the pre-baby cocktails, but I know a ton of people take and try various things. I started pre-natals last December when I got my first bfp. I just continued on them after the loss, and never quit taking them. I also started a baby aspirin a day after that loss. I don't know that it helped tremendously, as I went on to have another loss. Then I got a clot, so I just continued on the aspirin; just to help myself a little. I still take an aspirin a day. I never tried the progesterone cream, so I don't have any ideas on that. I'd say talk to your doctor, and do a lot of research. Maybe one of the other ladies will be more knowledgable! Good luck!!!

I found this article about B6, hopeit helps

But I also wanted to say that I never stop taking my pre-natals after the lost and of course I'm still taking the.

Personally I think it is important to have the blood testing done first before you start taking things. I can see why a lot of those things help most people. I had a short LP after our dd was stillborn. It was about 8-9 days for the first few months. I started taking 100mg of B6 and my LP went from 9 days to 12 days long. Its just a vitamin so this is something you could take anyways, but be careful of taking too much because there is probably some in your prenatal too. Oh and B6 is also great for morning sickness so its healthy to take during pregnancy as well. The baby aspirin is great and I have been taking that since my loss, but I found out that I have clotting disorders, so I also would need blood thinners during pregnancy. This is the one that I think should be taken only if dr. finds a problem. If you start taking it before the testing then it will alter the results of the test. And progesterone, if you didn't need it in your first pregnancy then you "probably" don't need it again, but you should get your progesterone levels tested after Ovulation to see if you actually need it to sustain a pregnancy. Some of the clotting disorders only show up during pregnancy, so it would be ok to go and get the test done now while you still have the hormone in your system. After a stillbirth those clotting panels are usually offered.

I am so sorry that you are going through this. Big

One thing that concerns me is that I had the subchorionic bleed with the son we lost 2 months ago. Clotting disorders can be a cause for the SCH, at the time I hadn't researched enough and no testing was offered. I had gotten the authorization to start progesterone therapy the day my son was born.

I do plan to talk to my OB today but wanted to have some real info for my questions.

Thanks!

I hope your OB is able to give you answers and prescriptions if needed. Please KUP, I am very interested in what they tell you. I've read about the same thing and keep wondering about it. I even went to the target pharmacy but I couldn't find a b6 vitamin or OTC progesterone.

Good luck hun. Again, I am so sorry for your loss.

I spoke to my OB's assistant yesterday and she said a baby aspirin a day could help and won't hurt, she also said to try the b6 too.

I've had a lot of friends on another board I'm on say that baby aspirin helped them a lot!
