Low Progesterone and taking Suppliments

by arasic, May 12, 2008 09:20PM
I am 11 weeks pregnant and am taking Progesterone suppliments (200mg Lozenges). I am on them for one more week and am wondering if anyone else is on them. I am some what scared to get off. I am worried that the Placenta wiill not produce enough of the P Hormone. Has anyone else experienced this?

I had the same thing...my levels were low so I got on Prog sup for 13 weeks.  I was so scared to get off.  I had them draw my blood a week after I got off of it.  My midwife thought I was crazy because I kept asking her "what if my levels are still low once I get off"....her reply was "it wont be the placenta takes over then"....then I always replied "well what if it doesnt".  She would never answer that part....but I think you would just have to stay on sups for a while longer.  When I got my levels tested afterwards I was at a 21...the cutoff is 20, IMO that is really dang close.  BUT, I did have a full term pregnancy and delivered on my due date, so it oblviously worked.
I suggest getting your blood tested after you get off just to relive your worry!
