Allison-I agree with Dani. Talk to your doctor about writing a letter of medical necessity-that it is to maintain a pregnancy and not infertility. I also have Hypothyroidism-specifically, Graves Disease, and your doctor can use this diagnosis to site the reason you would need to be on progesterone so that your Insurance would cover it. I have managed several health clinics and have also been a medical biller for about 7 years so I know how to get around what insurances won't pay for. I myself have had two m/c's and have been on progesterone for the other two succesfull pregnancy's that I have had. I am now 33 weeks pregnant with my third child and have been on progesterone since ovulation and I know from past experience(my two m/c's) that if I don't take progesterone, I can't maintain my pregnancy and Hypothyroidism plays a part in this. Hope this helps and be adamant! You are the patient it is your body and your pregnancy so don't let them talk you out of taking it. Good Luck!
