    Has anyone had to take progesterone pills when newly pregnant? Wondering if its a red flag, and what to expect next.

      Progesterone just brings you up to normal levels if your level is too low. It's the same ingredient your body should naturally produce, so there are no side effects or danger to the baby. I've had a few friends take it and they mentioned sometimes the pills would make them feel nauseous.

        Not a doctor but I had to take progesterone for one of my pregnancies in the first trimester because my levels were low. Everything ended up fine! They will likely track your levels weekly or more if needed. Ugh so stressful, hang in there!!!!

          Progesterone supplementation can help prevent miscarriage in the first trimester for women who struggle to produce this hormone. Typically, it isn’t needed after the first trimester once the placenta takes over, but always best to talk to your provider.

          Factors such as stress and diet can play a role in your body’s ability to produce progesterone naturally.

          I personally used bio-identical vaginal suppositories that I got at a local compounding pharmacy with my first pregnancy. They can make you feel a little more crummy overall.

          Hang in there mama!

            Totally hard to overthink everything at that stage of the pregnancy! Progesterone can be all over the place and I would say adding the pills can do nothing but help, no harmful side effect!

              Lots of trouble conceiving with both my children and I took progesterone with my 1st… I don’t know if it made a huge difference, but it definitely didn’t hurt! Lots of deep breaths, prayers and positive vibes at that stage! Easier said than done, I know!!!!!! Sending you lots of hope for a happy healthy baby!!!!!!!!!! 🥰
