I felt so anxious about taking progesterone, but my doctor kept me on it till week 14. It really gave me peace of mind that my baby was safe.

Because of my PCOS, my doctor kept me on progesterone support until the end of my 12th week. It varies for everyone, so please don't stop it on your own.

Progesterone is key to holding the pregnancy, usually taken till 12-14 weeks. But please do not self-medicate or stop it without asking your doctor.

I felt like a walking hormone factory taking those pills! Mostly doctors stop them after the first trimester once the placenta takes over, so hang in there.

Progesterone support can be thoda expensive, but it's crucial for baby's safety. Doctors generally prescribe it till 12 weeks, so budget accordingly for those initial months.
