I just found out I am 4 weeks pregnant and
my progesterone level is only 11.8.
Normal level for 1st trimester bottoms out
at 11.2 so my doc put me on 200mg of
prometrium daily. Has anyone ever taken
this form of progesterone?? The warning
label states, "do not take if you are
pregnant". Now I am concerned but I will
do what it takes to carry this baby.
Someone please respond! I am so
confused.
Thanx

Your doctor knows more about the
prescription than you do, do not worry. I
am also pregnant and taking 400mg a day.
Normally women's prog. Level is much
higher and that is why they should not
take a supplement. In our case, it is
very low and we need this supplement to
make up for what our body is not
producing. Talk to your doctor about it,
but in the meantime let your mind be at
ease. Many women in our situation are
prescribed this medication.
