This is my first time here and I have found all of your posts comforting and informative.

I am currently going to a fertility clinic to get help to become pregnant. I am on day 6 of Prometrium. I take 200mg twice daily and my doc has recommended pantyliners for the "leakage". I started the drug two days after insemination and will take the drug for 12 days until I am instructed to take a pregnancy test (May 14th). If the test is negative, I discontinue the Prometrium and wait for a period. If it is positive (please!!!) I continue the drug and go for a blood test and then repeat the blood test in two days to confirm a strong pregnancy and then schedule an ultrasound. If pregnant, I will continue the drug through the first trimester.

My question is...has anyone been concerned with minor birth defects from Progesterone, such as cleft palate?
