OTC Progesterone Cream?

[niknak242]

My insurance won't kick in for a few more weeks, and after having so many losses, I am wondering if anyone has ever used the over the counter progesterone cream early in pregnancy? I don't even know if I have low progesterone, but I feel like I have to do something!

First of all I just want to say I'm so sorry for your losses.
You should speak to your doctor and maybe they can prescribe a certain amount of progesterone for you, and monitor your levels.
If you do start using the OTC cream, you must continue to use it throughout the first trimester, because discontinuing it early can actually provoke a mc by the drop in progesterone.

I am taking 200mg of progesterone orally daily, this is my 3rd preg after 2mc's, and so far my levels have been great.
Best advice I can give you is to speak with your MD
