I'm 42 years old and 12 weeks pregnant tomorrow. I have 5 pills of 200mg progesterone left. Several moms in another group said I should really stay on progesterone until 18 wks. They said they had a 2nd tri loss due to lower progesterone. Given my age, should I push for testing my progesterone and ask to stay on it for at least another month? I had 2 losses last July&oct (chemical prg and 8+4wk mc.) I had a healthy 9wk scan where the baby measured 4 days ahead (9+5) and now need to wait 12 days before I see the ob and have a doppler check. it's a tough time waiting between appt hoping for the best. My heartrate lowered again so I took my watch off but it's still 12bpm higher than prepregnancy. I just want to know all is well and trust . anyone stayed on progesterone longer than the 1st trimester? ​

Sooo yesterday I did 7 loads of laundry and I was heaving throughout the whole process and burned 600 active calories by the end of the day. Mind you, before pregnancy my elliptical workout days were equivalent to 600 calories a day. My rhr has gone from 52bpm to 70 bpm and I'm 11+2 wks pregnant. Today, My kids birthday party burned 500 calories or 50 minutes on the elliptical. Before pregnancy I would hardly burn 100 calories by the end of day doing chores. I'm also eating way worse more carbs and whatever I can stomach and I have only gained 3lbs! I'm so amazed by this. If I did the elliptical for 30 mins on top of laundry I would fall over because of how exhausted I am. But I'm happy it seems like things are working out one way or another. Anyone else notice chores makes you burn calories like never before?? 🤣​
