Christy, first of all why are you weaning off the prometrium? That can be used for the entire first trimesster until the placenta is well "hooked in" and your levels will be regulated by that then. Why can't you keep having blood draws??? I drove my midwife crazy with them but she never refused to ease my mind. That seems crazy.

Thanks for the reply. I am being weaned because I have "graduated" from my reproductive endocrinologist to my regular ob/gyn. The RE feels that the placenta takes over progesterone at 10 weeks therefore by 10weeks I will be off all supplements. After reading everything on this forum I decided to stay on my prometrium 2x/day anyway. I had refills on the RX so went ahead and filled it. I also have refills on the Endometrin suppositories so I could even continue those. Do you think I should call on Monday and see if they will draw my level one more time? I don't see my ob/gyn until July 8th and I don't think he will draw my levels. They never did with my first.
