Risks of not goin 2 Dr. till 12-14wks w/low prog. levels

What are the risks of not going back to the doctor until atleast until 12-14weeks since the last and only time I went was when I was 2-4weeks and had low progesterone levels of 18 which lowest is 10. My Doc wanted to see them in the 30's at that time so i've been on prometrium and progesterone since and have 2 refills for the next 60days after that. What if I just kept taking this until bout then and then I will have insurance?

All I know that at some point at around 12 weeks your placecnta takes over with the hormones.  I don't think that it would be safe to keep taking them without the advise of the Doctor.  However, if you don't have insurance, you can apply for emergency medicaid which covers maternity care and then you could go  to the doctor earlier.  But in the mean time if you are going to  wait that long to go back to  the doctor then at least call her and ask her if its safe.
