Is progesterone safe to take if you may be pregnant?
I MUST put progesterone cream on my belly twice a day for my first trimester and up to about 20 weeks or my body can sustain the pregnancy. My doctor is the one who put me on it after multiple miscarriages. The placenta does not take over making the progesterone until about 13 weeks and my body does not produce enough of it until then. My OB specializes in high risk and i also see a doctor in the antenatal unit at a local area hospital. It can hurt!!
