Question

Is it ok to start progesterone cream now if I didn't use it to conceive?

I'm 31 and DP and I have been trying for 3 cycles to conceive. I just got my very first BFP ever today! I've had some concerns over my hormone levels because I only have part of my thyroid left after partial removal in 2014. I've dabbled with progesterone cream before, but I didn't use it at all for this cycle. Should I start using it at 4 weeks as insurance or just continue without it? I'm just so afraid of MC if my levels aren't high enough and my first OB appointment is until the second week ok May. Help!

best is to check your blood levels. it is very possible you do not need progesterone. make sure your tth is where it should be, sometimes women need correcting their thyroid medication when pregnant. so talk to your doctor soon. gl

Thanks for the feedback! My appointment is coming up in a week and I'm sure blood work will be on the agenda. I hope everything is level, but if it's not, hopefully my doctor can put on the right track!
