Pregnancy Info HOME

I had 2 miscarriages - 1 in 2000 and another in 2001. After getting pregnant a 3rd time in Oct. 2001, my doc prescribed Prometrium (progesterone in pill form) - 400 mg. per day and I had a very healthy, albeit nauseas, pregnancy and delivered a healthy baby girl. The pills can make you VERY tired, dizzy and nauseas and it won't go away until you stop the pills. I'm on my 2nd pregnancy, and again Prometrium, and am 10 weeks - so far so good. Don't let the brown spotting alarm you - it's usually normal. I had it at 7 weeks with this pregnancy. To answer your questions, my doc keeps me on progesterone until 14 weeks (12 weeks from conception). I truly believe in many cases progesterone supplements can help carry a pregnancy until the placenta takes over producing the progesterone, around 12 weeks. It can't hurt you, so why not try anything you can! Best of luck to everyone.
