Progestrone

[scrubs314]

I was a little bother by some of these postings simply because I know so many women that have had to take progestrone just to have a healthy pregnancy.  And I know that most IF patients are given Progestrone for the first couple of months.  And my sister in law had to take Progestrone the whole pregnancy and everything was fine.  I am not sure but I think that sometimes people can be alarmist when it comes to sad events.  I have had two miscarriages come to find out because I didn't have enough progestrone. So I just think that everyone should be consulting their doctors and get peace of mind that way.

Bio-identical, natural progesterone cream given in the amounts recommended by Dr Lee is very safe and is actually recommended during pregnancy, however, the synthetic hormones can do more harm than good.

I am currently pregnant with my second baby, and we had one miscarriage before my first. The tests showed that I did not have enough progesterone and had a Luteal phase defect. My doctor prescribed "Natural Progesterone Cream" twice a day and that is the only way I have ever been able to get pregnant and have healthy pregnancies. However, anything other than "Natural Progesterone Cream" is unsafe during pregnancy. The cream is applied 2-3 times a day (1/4 to 1/4 tsp. each time) until the 12th week. I have done extensive research and spoken to various doctors and the cream has never shown side effects, problems, miscarriages or fetal defects. Synthetic progesterone is not tolerated the same way and has many, many side effects and miscarriages reported.

Just thought I would share my experience with everyone.

Thanks!
