Progesterone Therapy in Early Pregnancy

I am about 8 weeks pregnant. I had a molar pregnancy almost 3 years ago and a miscarriage with twins in April of this year. So we're pretty cautious with this one. I had a lot of blood work done when I first found out. My hcg levels weren't doubling like they should, and my progesterone level dropped from 18 to 15. At my last ultrasound, the nurse midwife noticed some spotting around the uterus, so she prescribed progesterone (tablets).

Anyone Ever Hear or Try the Candida Diet

I have been suffering from very bad eczema on my hands for years. the dermatolgist just keeps giving me steroids. i have stopped using them b/c it's been years of steroids and I know they are not good to keep using.

Had Success in Treating Ezcema Without Steroids?

My baby is 7 mo old now and he has had ezcema for two months now. It has gotten progressively worst. I was able to manage it with eliminating foods he is alergic to from my diet (still breastfeeding). He is alergic to milk, eggs, peanuts and almonds (as far as skin test can tell!). I am pulling my hair out as we speak - I've been on a strict diet for two weeks now without ALL theese and his condition is getting worst. He is oozing horribly at night and itchy - progressively in the past 4 days. Benadryl does not seem to help. Has anyone...
