Hey lovely I’m not a doctor but I can say from my personal experience is that taking progesterone cannot cause harm to you or the baby! I was put on it twice in both my pregnancies and one was IVF and I needed extra so taking suppositories and injections and second was natural and only on suppositories. I was kept on it for 16 weeks but you can stop from 12 weeks. Progesterone plays an important part in pregnancy and I was assured that I’d be ok and baby too. But please if you are concerned talk to the doctor.

Progesterone saved both my babies. If yours is low it's a good idea to get it! (NOT a doctor)
I mean they wouldn’t prescribe it to me if they thought it didn’t need it as this is a pregnancy after 9 miscarriages it’s just one of them things that you freak out about isn’t it and nothing no matter what you get given or what they say is going to ease your mind I feel like I need to have scans every week to know that everything is okay x
I’m hearing more good story’s than bad I’m just freaking out about it all my son I had with nothing and then this pregnancy I’ve seen on the ultrasound the heart was beating ect and now I’m just freaking out about the progesterone I’m on 400mg I’m just scared it’s going to case something bad to happen x
what mg are you in if you don’t mind me asking x

I completely understand this, after multiple miscarriages it makes you feel scared and I was the same with having multiple scans to make sure everything was ok with my now 2 year old and now little baby on the way! It never gets easier but it can give you a sense of peace at mind knowing you are doing everything you believe you can. good luck hun and I hope all goes well with your pregnancy x

For me I was on 400mg twice a day with my first born and including twice a day progesterone injections as mine was extremely low after IVF but with my second I was only on 400mg twice a day and it helped stop my bleeding with her
it’s so hard and I try talk to my friends about it and they haven’t got a clue their always going to”yiur being silly” like no I’m not I’m just scared as misscarrige is so mentally draining and I’m sick of it, I’m on 400mg twice daily too, but I was getting tested for recurrent miscarriages so I’m guessing the gynaecologist wouldn’t prescribe me it if she didn’t think I needed it and I did see baby with a good heart beat and was there I’m also taking aspirin that I took with my son from 13 weeks up till 36 x
