Sorry for missing you earlier. It is the server that will mix up the order, and then we miss messages. It is hard to say if the mc will be identical. Usually this is how we find them as we do testing and u/s so early now. Yes, the progesterone will keep you feeling pregnant in the short term. If your md was not going to u/s you in the short term to determine pregnancy, you would eventually start loosing preg symptoms and start bleeding. good luck on the 16 th.
