Sounds fairly normal to me.

The nurse practitioner put me on prometrium. >My question is: What are the chances that this pregnancy will succeed?

85% if you find a heart beat on ultrasound. Higher than that if the chromosomes are normal(no way to tell) Less than 1 in 1000 threatened miscarriages are helped by progesterone. What did your Doctor say????????
