Anyone here take progesterone early on?
Im 7 weeks tomorrow. My doc isnt a huge believer in progesterone but when i started spotting I had her check it anyway. Backstory (i spotted with both of my children so the only thing out of the ordinary this time is ive spotted for 2 weeks now. But baby is doing well and no sign of a bleed. She said it could be from the cyst on my cervix, sex, straining for BMs or when im vomiting. But my last pregnancy was very traumatic so i pushed for the test. At 5 weeks 6 days my progesterone was 10.. which seems low from everything ive read but according to her is acceptable. And even if it wasn't she doesnt believe the research is there proving that progesterone actually helps. (This isnt my regular doctor but we have to rotate through all the docs) since she missed a few things with my daughter she told me she would prescribe progesterone if it would make me feel better. I had her send it in and ive picked it up. My only worry is the long list of side effects (especially vomiting when i already cannot keep water down even with phenergan) Obviously if i really need it to support this pregnancy then hands down ill do it. But if its not needed, and causes me to vomit more that could potentially do harm.. its hard when the doc that thinks i dont need is it the same doc that missed things with my daughter. If it was my normal doctor i would 1000% trust his opinion. But i cant get in with him for quite awhile..Can Anyone share your experience? Side effects, if it worked for you and if you know what your levels were what were they? I guess im also looking to see if im crazy for taking it when my level was 10 at almost 6 weeks
