Progesterone

I wanted to mention this, because I completely forgot -


When I called the specialist, his nurse told me they would prescribe progesterone once I had a confirmed pregnancy at 8 weeks. (I know we've discussed why this doesn't make sense.) 

When I called my OB, she said they wanted to do a blood test, and if my progesterone was low they'd prescribe it. I am taking progesterone from the last pregnancy anyways, so it's not going to be low, and I told the nurse that.

Be your own advocate. I have not read anywhere that progesterone early can hurt the baby, it only helps the lining, and while I'm no doctor, and do your own research (seriously) my advice is to be your own advocate. 

That's all!
